|
I've been working tirelessly searching and working on this to get X up and running on this machine with an ATI 7870 GPU. I've followed everyting I could and dug around everything I know to do, but hopefully a fresh look on the situation by someone else will help out.
Here is my startx output:

From the log file:
Code: |
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
|
Do you have ACPI support compiled into your kernel? _________________ "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

must probably that this is not related to his issue.
@OP,
please post the outputs of the following:
Code: | emerge -ptv xorg-server ati-drivers
emerge --info
lsmod
eselect opengl list |

Is the user you're running startx with in the video group?
Please confirm you followed the The X Server Configuration HOWTO.
What is the output of: Code: | grep -i acpi /usr/src/linux-3.6.11-gentoo/.config |
What is the result of:
Is acpid showing as mentioned to do in the elog output?
Finally, everything else considered, you may want to look at the bug report I was forced to file on the latest 12.11_beta11 on the ati-drivers as we appear to have some similar hardware. _________________ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

Hey. I thought I would bump this since I have a similar issue and am using the fglrx module.
I can switch between consoles (or are they shells?) using F# but it is very delayed and takes a few minutes for the switch to occur.
If I delete the xorg.conf gnome3.6 starts fine but is in fallback mode (obviously). I saw a console print stating something was "spawning too quickly" so perhaps that is where the delay of the F# switching is coming from.
Edit - Found this http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80708
Not sure if I needed this patch or not. What I did was unmask x11-drivers/ati-drivers. I ended up with x11 1.13.1 and catalyst 13.3 beta 2. This combination worked for me _________________ I really wish I could put something witty here. |

you configuration and log of xorg for basic configuration is okay.
You also can start it with /etc/init.d/xdm start that can run gdm or kdm or something for xfce, so on...
or use basic xorg wirdowses with watch and xterm. |
