Hi,
I have recently installed a HD-4650 into my docking station, in order to override my laptop's internal V5250 chip. (The unfortunate side effect of this is that I am still stuck using Catalyst 9.3 unless I decide not to undock my laptop until xorg-drv-ati and Mesa can replace fglrx entirely.)
I have attached a 1920x1020 monitor to my HD4650 card, which is running as the primary graphics device. (V5250 is deactivated while HD4650 is present.) However, the X server is crashing immediately after the line:
(II) fglrx(0): Restoring recent mode: 1680x1050@60Hz
1680x1050 is the native resolution of the laptop's own panel, and the stack trace shows that the X server was in xf86SetViewport / dixLookupPrivate. My current theory is that fglrx is trying to restore the last known "good" resolution (for the wrong hardware), and I am hoping that I will have better luck if I can switch directly into the monitor's native mode of 1920x1200@60Hz instead.
Can someone tell me how to clear out the persistent daatabase entries containing the defunct mode, please?
Thanks,
Chris
