If someone could point out > something I've missed, I would very much appreciate it. well well............ have o good study and read the man pages, just to make you understand the way it works....... man radeon, man ati, man xorg.conf, man xorg, man vga, man vesa, man Composite, man vidcontrol............. and may a few more......... ;o) ++++++ try study your file /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.log ++++++ all you need to know about your Radeon card is written in there !!! XORG dose a pretty good job of testing the graphic card ! my hint: the "option part" is the key, as written in the man pages but 1st. of all....... your kernel should contain some thing like this for a start: there is a lot in mine, but you may don't need or want all this !! ---------------------------------------------------------------- # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device mse # BUS mouse device psm # PS/2 mouse options PSM_HOOKRESUME options SC_DFLT_FONT makeoptions SC_DFLT_FONT=cp850 options SC_TWOBUTTON_MOUSE options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer # # VESA, VGA settings device vga # VGA video card driver options VESA # VESA support device acpi_video # LCD backlight/brightnes extention device drm device agp # support for AGP chipsets as used on RADEON device sc # Sytem-Console #device r128drm # ATI-Rage is NOT used on my Radeon card !!! device radeondrm # ATI Radeon RV100 Mobility LY M6 / AGP chipset device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support options MAXCONS=9 # Max-No. of virtual terminals (standard=16) options SC_PIXEL_MODE # raster text mode VESA_800x600, MODE_280, MODE_291 options CONSPEED=115200 options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_RED|BG_BLACK) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR=(FG_BLACK|BG_RED) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- your xorg.conf file should look like this......... but don't just copy my settings, that will 200% crash your Xserver, study your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and use "YOUR" data of "your" Radeon card !!!! This is only my working xorg.conf and is not perfect !! use it as a sample only !!! you don't need all of this, many of the "Option" settings are the default anyway !!! read the "man" pages to tweak your system !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # # xorg.conf tweak on: iTronix GoBook II IX260 # by: Hanno 12-Dec-2006 /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Pixmap" "32" Option "BlankTime" "10" Option "StandbyTime" "20" Option "SuspendTime" "30" Option "OffTime" "40" Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "WhenNeeded" Option "Xinerama" "OFF" #### need to be "OFF" for "DRI" to work EndSection # Section "Files" # LogFile "/var/log/xdm.0.log" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" # FontPath "/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/amspsfont/type1" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/cmpsfont/type1" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/cm-super/type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/farsifonts/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont-ttf/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mathfonts/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/texcm-ttf/" EndSection # Section "Module" ### "bitmap" is loaded automatically !!
