Bug 136317 – x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18 doesnt work on x1400

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Florian Manschwetus 2006-06-10 13:09:28 UTC]

I have a ibm t60 with x1400 and tried to use fglrx, but ever gets black screen and seconds later system lock. My first diagnose is that the downgrade of xorg-x11-7.1 was not completly successful.

More curiosity,
When i set my second core offline, i could load on first one conservative govenour , then i could start the X using fglrx after that i could reenable second core at that him on conservative too all works fine...
BUT WHY????

[Comment 2 Marien Zwart (RETIRED) 2007-05-24 22:37:20 UTC]

This involves a version of ati-drivers with an ebuild bug that does not define SMP correctly when compiling. Please reopen if this is still an issue with ati-drivers >= 8.34.8.
