So when you're trying to use the free drivers, you're sure the fglrx kernel module never gets loaded, and there are no messages as above in dmesg? > However, the two Xorg.log I have attached seems to use the free > drivers (radeon and radeonhd) and the only trace of fglrx I find in > these files are: Yes, that's what the second item above refers to. The X server loading any component installed by fglrx (note not all of them have fglrx in the name) has definitely caused problems for others trying to use the free drivers. > Should I test again, with the fglrx driver and the package > firmware-linux desinstalled or it is not necessary ? firmware-linux will be useful with the free drivers and shouldn't harm otherwise, but you really need to make sure fglrx is completely out of the picture when trying the free drivers. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
