"accept_keywords" version appears when automatic is used. you can manually add to accept_keywords. I'm old and rusty so still think the old way.

if you get a new ati-drivers and xorgserver and evdev
Code:
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ati-config --initial
xrandr | wgetpaste
url?

lol

anyways... no joy, same problem (it's probb the res thing it can't find, tried both confs.)

tried emerge @x11-module-rebuild as per a message after xorg install for upgrades from <1.5

it just rebuilt the evdev and ati-drivers again.

alright, see you guys tuesday.

wow... aticonfig (no dashes ^_^) looks waaaaay way leaner! looking good.. even names the monitor as "Generic autodetecting monitor!wohoo".. roll the drums...... NOPE :cry:

again, xrandr requires X running or it can't open display. no?

I may have it; if your xorg.conf looks like:
Quote:
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" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
add the bold red line (in regular font of course) and try startx

worked for me

amd may be using xrandr vice ati-config to make changes on the fly. got xrandr to work to change resolution first then located a good example of the option preferredmode hope it works for you

I don't get it. What is the difference between the bold red line and the one in the file you pasted to neddy? (except the actual res of course, which I tried an even lower one)

problem is, it does read that option, but then it discards it and says it is not used. (as better described in my friday post?)

here it is described with the actual output and not in my own confusing words...

Code:
[   186.814] (II) fglrx(0): Output DFP1 using monitor section Monitor0
[   186.814] (**) fglrx(0): Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768"

Maybe your idea about disabling EDID in the kernel but I don't think it would work because it goes so far as probing the monitor successfully without edid anyways, so... (edit: and we did try IgnoreEDID to no avail either)

my idea is to somehow redirect that crt-1 it complains of not having a monitor section to the same monitor0 section. It is obvious dfp1 is using that one, so it is considered to be screen0, so maybe creating a screen1, calling it crt-1 somewhere and adding a monitor option "monitor0" on it would work, but how exactly should I go about writing that? (edit: I'll try copying it over and simply changing its name to screen1, when I'm back)
alternatively, having dfp1 disabled from the start and having crt-1 be screen0 should work too, but how to do it?

I believe dfp1 refers to the dvi port, there is an adapter there to vga which goes to the crt monitor. The thing is probb thinking there is a dvi monitor (with edid available? and maybe here your idea of disabling it in the kernel could take effect?) tries to get it, can't do it, "disconnects it" (as per output above), then crt responds instead it then "connects it", but by then screen0 was already used and thus this new screen is not instantiated, has no options, no monitor option in particular. (and thus "Option "PreferredMode" is not used ")

edit: Another idea I had right in the beginning was to run aticonfig --resolution=0,1024x768 (or whatever res) AFTER X is running, given that, as neddy noticed, X runs ok until I kill it. However, the ways I tried to accomplish this have all failed. Maybe you guys have a better idea on why they did and how to do it. I've tried the following approaches:

1) logging in a different console and running the command after running startx in the 1st console;
2) running startx && aticonfig [stripped]
3) placing the aticonfig command on xinitrc (Im not sure whether I've actually did try this one, but I should have : ))

try Option "PreferredMode" "1400x1050"

somebody with your monitor reported using that resolution.
PreferredMode needs a modeline defined

startx
blind type or open a new console
xrandr --output DFP1 --mode 1280x1024
xrandr --output CRT1 --mode 1280x1024

"There I fixed" :lol: Unfortunately (I'm getting tired of this punch line,lol), input seems broken.. wouldn't that be cool to blind hack out of it? 8) I had tried it before (exit, to cleanly make for the alt-ctl-bksp, instead of ctr-c), thus not on my approach above. But we'll fix that when I get back. :wink: (Probb evdev/xkb simple misconfig)

There was no time to learn how to type a proper modeline now, but apparently aticonfig was magnanimous this time and decided to have mercy on my first approach there (thanks donahue for confirming it was a sound idea)

Apparently stubbornness repaid once more, Neddy :P

See you guys Tuesday for the final showdown with this damned box from hell :evil: .

Correction while previewing the post:

Got razorqt working and mouse and keyboard works! \o/

Glxinfo say direct rendering enabled!
Glxgears reports almost 3000 FPS!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAH :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Does your last report mean that fglrx is now working correctly? Or that some problem remains?

Yep, it is working. Thanks! =)

Unfort... :lol: Just kidding, but maybe the only mystery is why the input didn't work with xterm alone but did with the whole DE.. I suppose a simple proper input section on xorg.conf will solve it (for example, toggle between xkb and evdev), or something like your 98-keyboard example from before.. (although I'd still wonder how razor can manage without it, can it add its own?)

I don't remember what default aticonfig leave the conf at, will check it out later and report back : )

edit: And also how it fixed the resolution, I don't think it used preferred mode, i think it has written directly in the screen section instead of the monitor section.

Code:
wgetpaste /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xrandr | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
url's would be of great interest
looks as though aticonfig --initial has stopped working as it should fpr me as well as you, --initial is supposed to backup an existing xorg.conf and replace it with a default; aticonfig --some other option is supposed to modify the existing xorg.conf; it appears that --initial is currently modifying instead of replacing with a default.

No no.. Sorry, I wasn't clear. When I referred to my approach #1, it was that aticonfig option (resolution setting). The initial option does still back it up. Although I don't remember if I've tried that new version, probably did... (yes, timestamp of latest backup is from sunday early morning, right before travel)

Fixed the keyboard and mouse the way I mentioned. Funny though, xterm is only picking up the keyboard if the mouse is over its box. Lol, it wasn't that way if I remember... (tested both kbd and evdev) Also, ctrl-alt-bksp doesn't seem to be working...

Yep, I recalled correctly, the resolution setting option changes not the monitor section but the screen section, though under a subsection named Display and the option string is "Modes".

X still ignored PreferredModes in that contrived way (reads and accepts for DFP1, then discards it and say it's not used for CRT1).

There you go:

After all this experiments with x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati and x11-drivers/ati-drivers it would be very interesting to see output of the command:
Code:
eselect opengl list
Personally I haven't upgrated to xorg-server-1.15.0 yet because of I don't like neither xx.0 versions of packages nor beta video drivers. But until I had changed selection from xorg to ati with eselect opengl my X didn't start. I have VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx", but I've changed it before I do upgrate last time from "fglrx radeon r600" so may be my portage tree have some stale dependenses. Nevertheless, xf86-video-ati has removed from current install.
So I'll be wating for somehow improvements by ati with their binary packs or xorg change their minor version from zero ))
But I can test 15.0 xorg-server on my oldy laptop where Radeon Xpress 1100 (aka radeon r300) is residing.
So when I saw my portage complains about ati and xorg-server, I've decided to do some googling before I'll start do weird thing. And here I am. )

Dunno if helps, but here it is:
Code:
$ eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
