Running 2.6.0, DRM disabled in the kernel, ati-drivers merged, agpgart and intel_agp loaded as modules, fglrx loaded as module, X configured and the correct monitor refresh rates are there. Works when the driver is VESA, but when I switch it to radeon/ati or fglrx the monitor goes black.

dmesg indicates that fglrx is loaded on minor 0. The XFree log shows

PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x5961)
and
PCI:*(1:0:1) ATI technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x5941)

I've read every post I've been able to find on this combination of equipment and can't get the ati-drivers to work. I'm going mad!

Has anyone had any luck with a combo like this? Could you post your config?

Would I be missing something basic?

Okay, now this is wierd. I followed the guidelines I found on the boards and still nothing, so I disconnected the DVI-D cable and reconnected by analogue VGA cable. Voila, it works and I get a respectable glxgears of 2031.

Why isn't it working with my digital cable? Arggghhh!
