Hi there
i use an ati graphicscard with fglrx, and since this f* driver
does not work with 2.6.12-kernels, i wondered if i could emerge
old kernels...
Yes it does work with 2.6.12 kernels..
not for me... same config (as in 2.6.11) leads to black screen in
2.6.12 and all i can do then is a reboot
That suggests that you have misconfigured something in your new kernel....
Do you possibly have DRI enabled in the kernel? It is on by default in a
new kernel config, but it must be turned off for the ATI drivers to work.
no..
Second, did you re-emerge ati-drivers after compiling the new kernel?
yes
Third, is your xorg.conf set to use internal agpgart (from the fglrx
driver) or not (external agpgart from the kernel)?
internal/external both tested
If it is set to "no", because you need to use the kernel module, did you
also enable support for your motherboard, if a kernel module is
available for that?
yes enabled intel-module
What, btw, is your motherboard/chipset? And what is your ATI card, while
we're at it? Is your system 32-bit or 64-bit?
intel 875P (32bit)
This driver does in fact work under 2.6.12; I've been using two
different versions of the driver (8.14.13-r2 and 8.16.20) under several
2.6.12 series kernels (-r6, r9, and now -r10 as soon as I reboot), and I
know it works without 'extra' modification from what is normally
necessary to get these drivers to install properly. I haven't seen the
'black screen on boot' issue since before we went to the new numbering
system (or shortly after we went to the new numbering system; in any
case, it's been so long that I don't even remember exactly when it
stopped in terms of it being a driver problem, rather than an error on
my part).
so i think it is my fault, but do not know exactly
