AMD E350 - xserver segmentation fault

feddischson · n00b Joined: 03 Aug 2011 Posts: 4

Hi,

since several month, I've been trying to get my AMD E350 working together with the proprietary ati-driver.

I've tried several versions of ati-drivers, and xserver is always ending up in a segmentation fault.

Several posts here on gentoo forums show me, that it is possible to use this driver with gentoo and AMD E350, but I can't find the problem in my case.

Here some information

------------------------------------

emerge --info
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/467350/

kernel-config
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/467354/

xorg.conf
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/467357/

equery list *
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/467361/

eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] ati *
[2] xorg-x11

lspci | grep -i vga
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9802

-------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be very nice, if somebody could give me a hint, where to search for the segmentation fault reason

.

Cheers

Ok, I removed the radeon firmware from kernel config, but it didn't solve the problem.

radeon-ucode is installed.

Here the xorg.log

and
dmesg | grep fglrx

Cheers for your help.

The radeon-ucode is, with the linux-firmware package, the firmware use by the free Radeon module that support KMS. So it is known that KMS and FGLRX do not work together.

You do not have any framebuffer driver enabled in your kernel. At least, vesafb and a frambuffer console driver can be usefull. In your make.conf you have VIDEO="fglrx radeon" . I would remove radeon, Xorg can not like both together installed.

These are only suggestions, I use Radeon KMS kernel support and Radeon Xorg driver with an ATI Technologies Inc Device 9802 on an HP Pavilion dm1-3240 that have an E-350 AMD Fusion processor. It work great.

I never ever install the proprietary Ati/Amd drivers.

@Logicien: The open source driver works find, but I need the closed source driver. I enabled the generic vesa driver, but that didn't solve my problem.

@DONAHUE: I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work :cry:

By playing a little bit around with some options in xorg.conf, I figured out that if I set

I found the problem!
