Got my new system based upon the AMD Phenom X4.
Everything works OK but it seems like the graphiccard isn't working so good.
First issue is seen when powering up the computer,
the POST screen got some annoying "lines" all over the place.
A pic on the POST screen:
Second issue is (When using Windows, both XP and Vista) that the computer halts/crashes before the login page,
and that's after installing Catalyst drivers.
Windows is able to start before graphic drivers is installed, but then the resolution is limited and the same annoying "lines" as in the POST is present!
Third issue is when starting X, got the
(EE)fglrx(0): PreInitDAL failed
I have disabled all frambuffer support in kernel but with no progress.
Have the 7.12 driver installed, could it be because I
use 64bit Gentoo?
Fourth issue is mobo BIOS, have the latest F3 bios
and it seems like I can't downgrade to F1 or F2.
Everything seems OK when flashing the bios, but after reboot them the F3 is still there!
The backup bios kicked in the last time I tried to flash to F1.
The mystical "lines" was also present all through the Windows type of installations(Both XP & Vista) but
not at all in Linux(Gentoo)!!
And there's no graphic corruption in BIOS setup or at
BIOS boot.
Seems like I got a "buggy" graphiccard, maybe RMA!?
I don't know if there is any setting I must activate/deactivate in BIOS to get the graphics up...
Please help me troubleshoot this!
