Problems with ATI Radeon 5470 on Fedora 16 KDE

[jordicastalla]

Hi!!!

I have a little problem with ATI Radeon Drivers. System works fine, but when I go to play a video with VLC or Dragonplayer, i got a black screen and systems go to Login Window.

I have install the propietari drivers 2 days ago:
xorg-x11-drv-catalyst.x86_64




[root@clairvoyant power]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-catalyst-videodriver.conf
# This file is provided by xorg-x11-drv-catalyst; do not edit.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection










I attached KDM Log file. The fatal line is:

Segmentation fault at address 0x20

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting



fglrxinfo and glxgears:

fglrxinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.1.11251 Compatibility Profile Context



glxgears works good:
glxgears
6084 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1216.146 FPS
5776 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1154.854 FPS
5666 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1133.180 FPS
6369 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1273.762 FPS
5893 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1178.464 FPS
5613 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1122.554 FPS





Any ideas???
Thanks!!! And sorry for my english.

I have install the propietari drivers 2 days ago:

How ?

yum install xorg-x11-drv-ati.x86_64


This RPM doesn't provide proprietary driver.

I think that catalyst driver has still problems (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503&page=300 ). (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503&page=300)

If free ATI driver works well, i suggest you to use it.

If I open a vídeo with Avidemux an edit it, there are no problems. If Play with Avidemux there are no problems too.

But, if I open with Dragonplayer or VLC, black screen and turn me into Login Screen!

is strange....

Have you changed the KDE theme ?
Maybe #cat /var/log/messages can be useful to search some error.

[jordicastalla]

I atached the "/var/log/messages"

If you have not updated Fedora, do it:

# yum update

Then try:

$ vlc --ignore-config

[jordicastalla]

No updates available.

I do in a terminal:

vlc --ignore-config


and I select a file, but the same problem: The screen black (with a big cursor) and after the login screen.
:(

and I select a file

mmm:rolleyes:

Which file type ?
Have you already tried with another file ?

I tried with ".avi", ".mpg" ".divx" and ".mp4" with the same result.

Youtube videos, with FUllscreen: No problem !! :confused:

X problem probably.

Create a new user, login and try again.

# useradd usertest
# passwd usertest

Create a new user, login and try again.

# useradd usertest
# passwd usertest
