Hello all!
I have a serious problem here with my new ATi Radeon HD4870. When I install the new Catalyst 8.6 driver and run "aticonfig ?initial" my computer freezes/locks up when I startx. The screen goes all black, sometimes even the lights of my keyboard go out and I have to push the reset button to fire up my box again. This is both under Arch Linux and Zenwalk.
I have noticed that the Phoronix article about the ATi Radeon HD4870 said that the card was working "out of the box" on Ubuntu with the Catalyst 8.6 driver. Therefore I'd like to know what you did to get the card working. Any changes to the xorg.conf? I can't try it out by myself because Ubuntu doesn't recognize my SATA HD.
