I deleted the config files, ran the command, and restarted but I still got a blank screen. So I booted using "nomodeset" in GRUB2 and got the same error as earlier:
"(EE) fglrx(0): Please disable switchable-graphics feature and configure the discrete card as the default adapter
(EE) fglrx (0): GetBiosParamter failed
(EE) fglrx (0): PreInitAdapter failed
(EE) fglrx (0): PreInit failed
(EE) Screen (s) found, but none have a usable configuration. "
Using the low graphics mode, I was able to restore the default configuration and successfully boot. Compiz doesn't work and Catalyst Control Center doesn't start. Here's the error:
"Initialization Error
There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.
No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
Here is the working xorg.conf file:
"Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection"
and the modified one:
"Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0

EndSubSection
EndSection"
Do you think that simply changing the driver in the working config file from "vesa" to "fglrx" will work?
