For around the last 4/5 driver releases I have had no luck with the propriety drivers for an X800SE. I have viewed many posts and possible solutions already over the months with no luck. The following output from my Xorg.0.log file seems to be the only notable issues:
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK)
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK)
drmGetBusid returned ''
To explain the issue a little further the drivers install fine, the aticonfig program works and all seems fine, I then restart and end up with 2 black screens, and the computer hard locks. I can disable DRI and they will load, but thats kind of pointless and the open source drivers work just fine for desktop use.
If anyone has any further ideas please let me know. It will save me buying a new card for a little while longer, at least currently that seems my only option for accelerated 3D in linux.
Thanks,
Alex.
