Hi
I'm experiencing some troubles intalling the ATI driver for my AGP X1950 Pro. I've tried the restricted driver and the ATI binaries but I can't manage to get it working properly.
During the boot, the X server seems to try 3 times to load but fails and the low graphics mode appear.
After struggling several hours and many many forum post's read, I managed to discover that I suffer from the PreInitDAL failed error. This error happens just after the X server receives the EDID info. Here are the last lines os my Xorg.0.log:
And my xorg.conf:
I'm running on Ubuntu 7.10. I already tried to put "vga=normal" in the kernel line of grub but it behaved the same way. I also tried to power down my monitor while ubuntu was loading and it went even worse: the pc just crashed, with no solution but an hard reset.
Is there anyone that have a miraculous idea to help me?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Just forgot to mention that I'm trying to install the 8.45 drivers (Catalyst 8.01 I think), released on 2008.01.18.
