Created attachment 158283 [details] Also here is my xorg.conf
Created attachment 158285 [details] Finally here is my amdpcsdb Ati-drivers keeps a separate config file amdpcsdb which is a bit opaque, but I have attached that here as well.
Oh. I should have mentioned that ati-drivers-8.493 works.
Could be the same as the problem described in this thread, though the crash is not identical. http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10999 I do have a dual-head configuration. I haven't tried it without to make sure that is the problem.
I'm not quite sure, if this is a dupe of bug 228871. Since it causes crashes - assigning.
> I'm not quite sure, if this is a dupe of bug 228871. Apparently not, but I did have that bug as well. I was able to get 8.501 to work if I deleted amdpcsdb *and* unplugged my second monitor.
Bug still exists in ati-drivers-8.522 I just found that the symptoms disapear if I delete /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/amdxmm.so, which is a new file in 8.501, and appears in the error stack. I don't know what it does, but it must not be essential.
Hello! I also have the problem with starting XServer on a dual-head configuration (no matter if lcd and crt or lcd and tv connected). The only fix is, like Ralph Hartley said, deleting amdxmm.so. But the problem is that amdxmm.so is a module for xv (XVideo)-video-acceleration and after deletion it is broken. We need another, better fix for that problem! JD
Sorry this is cantfix, try to upgrade to latest version or switch to xf86-video-ati where i can acutaly find something out from debug output.
