 Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 11:24 pm Post subject: Graphic card Ati radeon HD7850 and X |
 |
|
| Hello, I built new pc with ati HD7850 and I have problem to configure X. Procedure was that I put to make.conf VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" and then emerge xorg-x11. Next I started Xorg -configure but it fail with message "No devices to configure". Fglrx module looks that works good. Is any settings in kernel which i should use?Thanks for help! i7-3820,ga-x79-ud3, kernel-3.6.11 |

afaik linux-firmware contains the fw for the foss driver, Fglrx should run regardless if it is installed or not.

I tried emerge linux-firmware, but it did not help.
I put lsmod and fglrx was showed but in column "used by" is 0 (i think it should not be). Next I put dmesg and I found ATi radeon 7800 ..etc.... which is ok.

have you ran aticonfig --initial as DONAHUE suggested? if so, make sure X uses the resulting file and if so, please post the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

yes, and when I startx I got blank screen computer freeze. Now I am at work -xorg.log can send later.
I check kernel and try reinstall ati-drivers per http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fglrx#Installing...I will see... |

 , do not know how, but I resolved it.
I disabled | Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
< > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) ---> |
in kernel, then remerge ati-drivers and xorg-drivers, started acpi and emerge twm xclock and xterm. Thank you for help |

Don't even try this: | Quote: | I am not able generate xorg.conf with Xorg -configure
Every time a I got "No devices to configure. Configuration failed"..it is same as at the beginning... |
| Code: | rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
aticonfig --initial |
is for your needs even if Xorg --configure worked.

Great! It works.
I think, it was mistake that I do not put X to USE in make.conf |

you might want to | Code: | | eselect profile list |
and select a profile that matches your intended use like desktop or desktop/kde or .. then emerge -uND world; a useful profile incorporates a good basic set of USE flags.
