 |
|
Hi folks,
I have some difficulties to run a config with a HD3850 AGP and fglrx drivers. When i start X, it stays at blank screen and i have to do a hard reset (cannot switch terminal).
I know this card is quite exotic. I've installated ati legacy driver and right xorg server version as said here. Previously, i had a nVidia card, but i carefully deleted use flag, packages and nvidia.ko. Xorg.0.log doesn't contain any "fatal" error, card seems to be well detected by the driver as i'm going to show you. I do what it needs with eselect (opengl and xvmc).
Here my Xorg.0.log :

my make.conf :

My kernel log :

And my .config kernel :
http://pastebin.com/iU293WsJ
And here my xorg.conf :
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "Asus"
Option "ModelName" "VS228H"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
#Option "MaxGARTSize" "512"
Option "UseFastTLS" "0"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "BusType" "AGP"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"

Same card here, ditched catalyst years ago, using r600g makes the life a lot easier, you can use up to date kernel and xorg, have you tried to switch to OSS radeon driver?

| I haven't try with radeon on gentoo, but i suppose it will run because i have tested with a live CD (Linux Mint). I'm not going to troll but i'd like to use with fglrx, probably with radeon driver in parallel. Anyone success to use fglrx legacy with this card ? |

| OK, some news. I disabled all IOMMU options as i read here, because i have an nForce3 chipset. I have disabled agpgart too, and after try to boot up my Gentoo. X starts with showing my desktop (Xfce) before it hangs up. Consulting Xorg.0.log, it says it can neither initialize AGP port nor DRI, so no 2D/3D acceleration. Activating once again agpgart in kernel, i again have blank screen. It seems to have conflict on AGP. Changing the option "UseInternalAGPGART" in xorg.conf doesn't help anything. I keep my way. |
