Hi,
BASIC QUESTION: What's the correct process for installing the newest ati-drivers package on a 2.6.20 kernel with an ANY 9100 IGP to get video on the S-Video output?
I'm caught in a network upgrade cycle on my home network. We've upgraded our MythTV server and hence I have to upgrade my remote frontend boxes but I'm having trouble. Since I do this so seldom I've come back to Phoronix to see if I can't get some good answers. I looks like the last time was August, 2006. Thanks in advance.
The machine I'm working on is a Pundit-R with an ATI 9100-IGP on the motherboard. Until the upgrade it was working fine with 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 and ati-drivers-8.28.8-r1 and providing video on the S-Video output. I need to use S-Video to interface to the TV in our bedroom.
I have currently installed and booted into 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 and installed ati-drivers-8.35.5. I have not changed the xorg.conf file yet. When I reboot the ATI driver loads but the Xorg.log.0 log file states that no devices were found.
Here's a bit of what things look like. If you need more info let me know and I'll get it ASAP.
