01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress [Radeon HD 5800 Series] [1002:6899]


What does that tell me?

still non-functioning fglrx driver.

I also tried using an analog cable. But really would a difference of connector matter? I've been testing on the primary dvi 1 connection.

Kudos ATI!

@Jecos
Do you have any igp on your motherboard?

No I don't have any integrated graphics on my board.
I have an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe which has an nforce 590 chipset.
The machine runs fine with windows 7. Really not a setup issue if Windows 7 works with everything.

I don't use any fancy xorg.conf's only the ones made with aticonfig.

Is strange, your chip is 0x6899 and that seems to be an already supported chip.

I think you have some type of xorg mis configuration . Can you post your xorg.conf

[Jimbo]

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance...

really really sounds as xorg.conf fault

@PsynoKhi0

(BusID PCI:0@2:0:1) is your HDMI audio, no problem, someday it will get supported

does aticonfig actually probe?

your xorg seems ok (as it should be)

It's like at the time fglrx loads it finds and unsupported chip, and then breaks, maybe it is only vendor ID issue. But I am guessing here, I have no idea what is happening, sorry.

If you don't have done yet, you should fill a bug at amd support page.
