Is this when booting the CD?
(In reply to comment #1) > Is this when booting the CD? > Yep, seems to happen on most(all?) ati cards, i have a 1950pro i tried changing the xorg.conf to vesa, but it errors out... and then tried fbdev but that just garbles the display... but i am sure most people can use vesa... :)
I'm pretty sure this is a dup, at least this is for the official release and the other is for pre-release... 174306

Please keep in mind that bug report 174306 was AMD64 related. So this problem is on both x86 and AMD64(In reply to comment #4) > *** Bug 174306 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Confirmed on a system with ati 9800pro. Detailed Xserver output is: (II) LoadModule: "ati" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module ati (II) UnloadModule: "ati" (EE) Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)
Somebody please attach a complete Xorg.0.log from the failure, just for reference.

It looks like what happened here is that sometime between 2006.1 and 2007.0 the xorg-server ebuild changed to using video_cards_{mach64,r128,radeon} instead of video_cards_ati, and the default VIDEO_CARDS in the profile was never updated to match. Because of this, none of the ATI drivers got built on the x86/amd64 LiveCD/LiveDVD.

I hit the same on multiple x86 machines with ATI Radeon 9200 and 7500.

Yes, we already know what the problem is. We don't need any more "me too" comments or dumps of the same error. We'll fix it soon.
Hi to all, and sorry for the semi-OT. From changelog, i noticed that this has been fixed in xorg-server-1.3.0. Using this in a custom livecd, should fix the problem? Thanks

Uhh, the problem wasn't with xorg. The problem was with our profiles not enabling any of the ATI drivers by default.

Unfortunately I'm encountering the same error (on a Dell 6400 with ATI X1400). Is there a way to solve this problem live or can I throw my DVD to trashcan ? In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I've tried to replace the line Driver "ati" by Driver "mesa" as suggested on the Gentoo forums, but the mesa module is not available too... Any hint ? Regards.

Bugzilla is not a support forum. However, it would help if you actually replaced "ati" with a driver that exists ("mesa" is not a valid driver), like "vesa".

I'm afraid "soon" is not a proper word :-( cause it's been approx. 2 months since this post and there is still the same issue with the same 2007.0. Any chances for the upcoming 2007.0-r1 bugfix release or there won't be any bugfix for this problem till the 2007.1 (autumn 2007)?
Well, it depends on your idea of time. Perhaps we're measuring based on the scale of the Big Bang, in which case, 10 million years would still be "soon" in comparison. You say the issue still exists. Of course it does. The ISO hasn't changed. Anyway, we haven't decided to make a 2007.0-r1 and likely will not do so at this point.
Yes, i had the same problem. If you want to just run Live change all ati to vesa in xorg.conf When i installed drivers it is working almost good.

Hi there, First time doing this, so you all have to excuse me. I have the same problem with Gentoo Live CD 2007.0 both downloaded and one that comes with Linux Format 96 (Sept. edition). Computer is Thinkpad T42 laptop with Mobility ATI 7500. Cheers. K.
*** Bug 189821 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Can someone verify that this issue is resolved with 2008.0 Beta 1?
X starts fine for me on the machine with ATI 7500M (comment #13 and #14) from 2008.0 beta 1.
Just to say that I am getting the same error but with an Nvidia GTX 8800. ie the 2007 LiveCD loads up to the point of starting X, then bombs out. The 2008 works, but will not allow my USB mouse to work (reported in bug #221125)
According to the last 2 comments in this bug, this seems to have been fixed 2 years ago. Moreover, we currently only do minimal cds.
