 Posted: Wed May 31, 2006 2:08 am Post subject: ATI card and Black Screen |
 |
|
Alright, I upgraded my video card from a voodoo3 to an ATI Radeon 9250.
I settled on the Radeon for 2 reasons.
1) I have an ATI tv tuner card.
2) It was on sale.
I FINALLY got the video acceleration to run after playing with it all weekend.
Then, I decided to restart X just to make sure that it was all working.
It came back up to a blank screen, and nothing would respond (even numlock and caps lock).
After much gnashing and grinding of teeth, along with much emerge -uavND world, I found that I can get into X if I simply remove my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
No acceleration, and things aren't exactly the same size, but I can get into X, and even watch TV!
I just need to find out what's wrong with my xorg.conf file.

I think upgrade to the last version of ati-drivers or uncomment this line to use kernel agpgart:
#Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" |

Yes, actually, it did.
I was using the dlloader flag.
I'm currently recompiling w/o that flag.
I'll post this evening after it's done.

Well, I finally got back into X.
I'm now able to get into X with the xorg file.
I don't have direct rendering though.
I want to play with cedega!!!!!
