[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#428990: Black screen when starting X with fglrx driver

[bruno ramos]

I don't know is this is the same problem or not, but I think this info
can be helpful.

I've been playing around with fglrx (I already tried almost all ati
driver versions for my card ) to add fglrx support to my ati mobility
radeon 9700 laptop.

The thing is that every time I start the X server I get a black screen
and I have to shut down the machine ( or SysRq+reboot ).

The funny thing is that if I load the radeon opensource driver first I
can start the X server properly ( with the same configuration), but I
have no Direct Rendering.

I can supply more information about be setup if it helps.
