[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#513222: fglrx: kernel-module crashes system

[Daniel Gasser]

Package: fglrx-source
Version: 1:8-12-4
Followup-For: Bug #513222

If the kernel-module is loaded, the x-server doesn't start up.
lspci shows this devices on my system:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon 
X700 Pro (PCIE)]
02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro 
(PCIE)] (Secondary)

startx gives this messages:
WW no device for ID 02:00.1 found 
EE no device found (lines remembered by heart, no exact report)

This even happens, if the ati driver is chosen in xorg.conf
To start xorg, i had to uninstall the kernel module and to set two 
device sections like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro 
(PCIE)]"
        Driver          "fglrx"
        BusID           "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Radeon X700
        driver          "fglrx"
        BusID           "PCO:2:0:1"
EndSection

Now the x-server works with indirect 3D rendering.

With the older fglrx kernel module (downloaded in November, cannot 
remember the exact version), the module worked on the same system with 
hardware 3D rendering.
