|
|
Hello!
I am using fglrx driver for my ati card and kde 4.10.
When KDE loads I cant switch to VT (console) - when I switch I just get a black screen..
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thx, Sale
edit:
I just found in xorg log:
Code: | (EE) fglrx(0): Failed to get ConsoleMode |
this probably has something to do with it, just dont know how to fix it.

You may want to enable uvesafb in the kernel .config. _________________ Autobots... roll out!! |

Solved it, just had to downgrade ati-drivers to version 13.1.
Thx, Sale |

Or you could try "vga" switch in your kernel boot line as well. |

Please see bug report.
@OP, would you consider renaming/adding the ati-drivers-13.4 and removing solved from your topic heading? This would help others in trying to find relevant info on this topic (this thread wasn't easy to re-find). _________________ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. |

Moved from Desktop Environments to Kernel & Hardware as it fits better here. _________________ Search | Read | Answer | Report | Strip |

A weird observation:
I see this problem on my RadeonHD 5770 with fglrx as well.
However one time I compiled the Radeon KMS driver into my kernel by mistake, and with that I was able to switch back to console(?) If I remember correctly?
I'm not sure it's a good idea to compile ATI Radeon KMS and use fglrx at the same time... but it did something... _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
