ati x700 pci express and xorg

[zulasch]

Hi there,
my xorg goes black and freezes but I can still access it via SSH so the problem seems to be xorg or the combination of xorg and ati drivers.

I get the following error messages without agp module in kernel when modprobing fglrx (shouldn't be needed at all when using a pci express card or am I wrong?):

Code: Select all

fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel. 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_bind_memory 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_enable 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_backend_acquire 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_free_memory 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_allocate_memory 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_unbind_memory 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_copy_info 
fglrx: Unknown symbol agp_backend_release 

And with agp modules in kernel xorg stars up but goes black and is irresponsible.
dmesg reads the following error message:

Code: Select all

mtrr: base(0xd0000000) is not aligned on a size(0x7ff0000) boundary 
[fglrx:firegl_addmap] *ERROR* mtrr allocation failed (-22) 
allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase size. 

Could anyone running a ATI pci express card post his modules.autoload.d/kernel2.6, kernel configuration and xorg.conf please?

Mainboard is a ASUS P5GDC Deluxe with Intels 915P chipset, kernel and ati-drivers are the most recent ~x86 ones.

*BUMP* anyone?

I'm sure this isn't going to help but I have the exact same problem. X700 pci-x, ati-drivers 8.12.10, monitor goes into power saving as soon as I start x. I am able to get into X in vesa mode but that only runs 1024x768 and no accel so it sucks pretty bad. Why oh why I bought another ati card I'll never know.
