Hello All,
I am a gentoo user, but got no response to this question on that list.
I have an ati 9700pro graphics card, configured to give dri using
fglrxconfig.This produces an ati section in XF86Config-4 using driver
"fglrx". X starts normally using xdm/kdm and direct rendering=yes.
When I do lspci I get the following ati bit:
0000:03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R300 ND
[Radeon 9700 Pro]
0000:03:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R300 [Radeon
9700 Pro] (Secondary)
In the standard vga device section of XF86Config-4 I have "radeon" as the
driver.
If I boot to the console and try to 'startx' I get the following:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"
Using vt 7
(WW) fglrx: no matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:0:1) found
waiting for X server to shut down
and X fails to start.
So I added to XF86Config-4:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:3:0:1" # vendor=1002, device=4e44
Screen 0
EndSection
and 'startx' still gives the same message and X fails to start.
I am puzzled that (WW) which is a warning actually produces a failure. I
thought (EE), an error, was needed to fail the startx process. I am also
puzzled that X starts if I have xdm as default, but won't start from the
console.
I am using xfree-4.3.99.902-r2 and kernel 2.6.5-rc1-mm1.
I would like to be able to startx from the console. Can anyone help me to do
this, please?
