  • 9.5 doesnt support hd4770

    I installed ati drivers 9.5 in my gentoo to be able to use my new HD4770. But when I run xorg -configure to reconfig X, I get an error. This is the log:

    Any idea about wahts happening here? Perhaps the manufacturer (HIS) touched something?

      That freezes the whole system. Also, I cant find any error message in the logs.

        Was X running when you executed the commands ?

          No. There is no way to execute X. Running startx freezes the system. Running Xorg -configure doesnt produces any config. Running with old config=freeze, running with aticonfig --initial=freeze.
          I reemerged xorg-server after emerging ati-drivers and nothing, always the same.

            I be confused. Your reply to Kano indicated that the freezing happened *after* running the aticonfig command, so I assumed that X was working before that... which implied that you could have run aticonfig while X was running...

            Your first message indicated (if I read it correctly) that you have a problem running xorg-configure, which you don't need with fglrx AFAIK. I think I'm hearing that you didn't get past xorg-configure the first time and running X normally after aticonfig didn't work either ?

            When you say "running with aticonfig --initial=freeze" do you mean aticonfig freezes or X freezes after running aticonfig ?

                So is my understanding of the sequence correct ? Can you fill in some gaps ?

                - install gentoo (running with open source ati driver ? vesa ?)

                - install 9.5 (building packages, native installer, someone else packaged for you ?)

                - ran xorg-configure (manually ? automatically by the package ?)

                - xorg-configure failed, log in your first post (did you run aticonfig --initial before attempting to run xorg-configure ?)

                - ran the commands Kano recommended (did the system freeze when running the commands or only next time you started X ?)

                - re-emerged xorg and ati-drivers (what does ati-drivers get you, fglrx or open source ?)

                - still hanging on x start

                  Lets see, I had a previous ATI card (hd2600) working with 8.x (when installed gentoo) and later with 9.2. got a new one, waited until an ebuild for 9.5 was available and installed it (it is recommended to avoid manual install of ati drivers under Gento, better use ebuilds and emerge system). First tried Xorg -configure, which didnt worked (I did it because the old configuration didnt worked). Then tried an empty xorg.conf and aticonfig, neither worked this.
                  Usually an ati-drivers ebuild installs fglrx, then you run eselect opengl set ati to make xorg use the fglrx driver.
                  Im really confused here, when I run startx, fglrx seems to properly identify the card, but for some reason, something crashes.

                    Yeah, so that probably means the driver is fine in terms of supporting the GPU but isn't getting along with something in your system.

                    Guessing here, but a number of "crash at startup" problems have been resolved by using aticonfig to disable acpi-services. The usage might be covered in aticonfig --help, or I can try to find the right syntax.
