ATI x1950 Pro working under Fedora7 ?

[tlueck]

Hello !

Does anybody out there got an ATI Radeon x1950 Pro working on a system running Fedora 7 using the prop. ATI driver 8.39.4 ?
This card has only 2 DVI outputs, no analog. I've build the RPM packages with the option '--buildpkg Fedora/F7' and then i've installed them without any errors. But when i start X i only got an black screen ! Nothing more ! I can only reset my computer.

Any help ?


Thanks !

Greetings !!!

Enter init 3 and give the files:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

It could be that your card is not supported....

try

su -
aticonfig --initial
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

add these sections to your xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "False"
EndSection


Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

Then save and exit gedit and type this command

su -
gdm-restart

Did you try using the livna drivers?

Just for info...

ATI Radeon 1900 XT (DVI+DVI) + 8.39.4 + kernel 2.6.22.1 + BenQ 2092. All normally working.

Hello, it is posssible that your card isn't suppoerted yet as my brother has the same problem with the same card. ATI sucks often on linux due to bad support from **** ATI (i have my own probs with the fan noise (!))

PS. Also the option "ati" in xorg.conf don't work wel on my bro's PC.
