[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#520431: fglrx-driver: Crashes Xorg at startup

[GOERGLER Paul]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:9-2-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


I have a Radeon X1300 Pro with 2 screens (24").
At startup gdm/X start, but my screens stay black, even if i do /etc/init.d/gdm stop

My only chance to have X, is to :
- reboot with vesa driver in my xorg.conf (device default)
- /etc/init.d/gdm stop
- rmmod i810 && rmmod drm
- modprobe fglrx
- modify xorg.conf to use fglrx driver
- /etc/init.d/gdm start

Option "Xinerama" "ON", still doesn't work.(1 weeks ago my xorg.conf worked perfectly wih xinerama)

If i boot with driver fglrx in my xorg.conf, my screens stay black.


This is my xorg.conf with fglrx
