  • Need help with unclaimed monitor on an ati RS690M

    Hi,

    I am pretty new to using Ubuntu and I am on 9.04 64bit version fully updated. I have been able to google my way through configurations and customisations but I haven't been able to get this solved. I would be happy just getting any driver to work not necessarily the proprietary one.

    I am on a Dell Inspiron 1521 and here is my lshw

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    You won't get the proprietary driver working on 9.04 without downgrading Xorg, so don't bother installing fglrx. You want to use the drivers that Ubuntu configures automatically during installation.

    What happened when you used the drivers configured by Ubuntu after install ?

      Thanks for the reply.

      That is what I read. I am fine with using the open source drivers.
      This is how it installed. I have tried removing them and reinstalling them but it doesn't seem to do anything.
      What should I try?

        Did you install fglrx, and if so :

        (a) how did you install it (Ubuntu's restricted driver manager, download from amd.com and build packages, download from amd.com and run the native installer

        (b) which version of fglrx did you install (if you used the restricted driver manager you may not know, but that's OK)

        (c) how did you uninstall it ?

          My card doesn't show up in the restricted driver manager. Just my wifi does.

          I never tried to install the fglrx. I started to read into it until I found out that my card isn't supported by ATI anymore and if I wanted to use an older fglrx driver I would have to downgrade the Xorg. That isn't something I am interested in doing.

            OK, so the Ubuntu installer should have automatically configured the -ati X driver and the "r300" mesa driver. Can I assume that didn't happen ?

            What driver *are* you running on the graphics right now, ie what does the xorg long indicate -- just vesa ?

            There's a good chance that the drivers you need are already installed, so it *may* be as simple as editing your xorg.conf to specify "radeon" rather than "vesa". If not, you'll need to install up to three packages, which are distro-specific. I don't remember the exact names but if it turns out you do need to install drivers it shouldn't be hard to find someone who knows the right packages for Ubuntu.

              It must not have.
              yeah just vesa.

                You can not use U 9.04, you could use Kanotix Excalibur if you want to use fglrx 9-3, everything newer is not working as ATI thinks thats wasted time to support it with a binary driver.

                  I believe Bullnose is trying to use the open source drivers; the issue is just that one of the auto-config data files didn't recognize the specific PnP ID and so did not automatically configure the drivers during installation. It may be as simple as replacing "vesa" with "radeon", or might need to install extra packages.

                    It looks like I have the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, the xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver and the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd all installed. In the my xorg.conf I have tired using "ati" and "radeon". neither one fixes the unclaimed monitor and my glxgears is about 325fps for both.

                    When I try the "radeonhd" the unclaimed monitor still doesn't get claimed my glxgears goes down to about 100fps and all my compiz stuff goes wonky.

                    What should I try?
                    Should I remove all ati/radeon packages, reboot and see what ubuntu wants to do?
