From: taita72 on 8 Apr 2008 07:19 hi, I've just updated my slack12 to the new 12.1rc1 and I've had an horriblem problem: I've configured X using the same setups I used for my old slack12 but the graphical startx nomore works: the screen turn off in power saving and the just action permitted is to reboot the system. I've tested to use radeon driver, ati driver .. but same result. Instead using the standard Vesa it works, not at 1600x1200, but it works. Someone have had my same problem or solved it ?? ... I'm very tempted to trush that ati card ...

I've had better luck using xorgsetup to generate a new xorg.conf file, but I've only done this with the intel 82865G chip using the intel kernel driver (i915 and drm)). Still, it was the only tool that gave me 1440x900 with this driver without needing to create a custom modeline. This was in -current as well. YMMV > 2) you can try the ati linux driver.

I'm not sure > if the site is up-to-date, but you may find a driver / installer there > that works. I've had good luck with the latest. I have -current running on 2 machines. My laptop has an ATI X1400 card that, until now, was not supported with the radeon kernel driver. All I needed to do with this card in -current was use "radeon" as the device driver in the xorg.conf that came with slackware-current and I have 1440x900 for the first time without having to install the fglrx module from ati. I am having an issue in that the screen is corrupted when I return to the CLI after leaving X, but I haven't looked into that yet. Other than that, the radeon driver seems to be working fine - at least with this card. The OP's xorg does not look like one that was generated by aticonfig so, between that and his comments in his post, I assume he had his card working in 12.0 without using the proprietory ati fglrx driver. This is still an option, but I think he should be able to get things going without it if he did so before.

Xorg is very good at identifying and setting up video hardware on the fly. The Slackware setup tools (and xorgcfg and xorgconfig) are somewhat behind the curve now. When you have an X problem, the first thing to try is to rename your xorg.conf to something else that X will not even remotely attempt to read, and then start X *without* any xorg.conf. Unless one has an Intel graphics chipset (I know you don't) this will often work better than anything else. And yes, I take my own advice, this is how my main slackbox is configured, with no xorg.conf. Since it uses KDE(***) I just use the KDE control panel to control resolution. Try it. It's quick and free. Best of luck, Mark (***) shamelessly trolling for Tom Newton :-) -- Still no damn signature!
