Bugs about binary blobs go upstream since there's obviously nothing we could fix. I.e., bug ATI/AMD. (In reply to comment #2) > Bugs about binary blobs go upstream since there's obviously nothing we could > fix. I.e., bug ATI/AMD. > *sigh* I surmised so much. I don't really know much about the way 3D acceleration or Xorg works, so I thought that perhaps there was a chance that Xorg was somehow causing the driver to break. If the blame here is solely on ATI, I guess you should probably close the bug. Poor Linux support be damned! Same problem here, however I think it is baselayout-2 and openrc problem, just a gues. Because after doing:
modprobe fglrx
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
everything works fine.
I have this autoconverted in /etc/conf.d/modules:
modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} fglrx"
module_fglrx_args_2_6=""
tried also plain:
#modules="fglrx"
Yet, dmesg shows fglrx has loded:
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 922 MBytes.
[fglrx] ASYNCIO init succeed!
[fglrx] PAT is enabled successfully!
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.47.3 [Feb 25 2008] on minor 0
8.501 works like a charm... perhaps your kernel .config is the problem? |
