Problems with ATI 9200 and Xorg

I have problems by setting up the Xorg server to work. I have build some xorg.conf files but every give me a blank screen. I have used the tutorial on wiki for ATI cards but i became the same problem. How to fix this ?

Ok here is my xorg.conf (generate by hwd -xa command)

  • Problems with ATI drivers and gnome3?

    I've tried to install gnome3 off of the gnome-unstable repo (sudo pacman -S gnome-unstable/gnome gnome-unstable/gdm I'm assuming that's the proper command). However, when GDM starts, my screen just flashes a cursor, goes blank, turns off, and repeats. Is there a problem with ATI drivers or is the package just not working at all right now?

    I'm also having troubles with Catalyst and gnome3 (I'm ussually in i3 btw) just playing with it tho. Seems to detect my graphics as 'VESA: JUNIPER" which probably means it's using some sort of fallback, eitherway it's not very functional and messes with my X server a bit
    EDIT: I can get into gnome, but there's a lot of flickering doing anything, should proabaly check for bugs on their tracker
    EDIT2: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 89#p913189 <--- looks like that might be gaining some traction, something to watch
    EDIT3: This bug and This Bug might be relevent, not too recent tho
    And another one
    so yeah..... ATI

  • Problem with radeon driver and Xorg

    Hoping someone can help with this problem.
    I would like to try and use the open source ati driver over the proprietary fglrx driver, however when I use this driver and I try to test my Xorg configuration it enters into X without any problems (mouse cursor appears and is functional) but when I Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit back to the console my screen resolution is completely distorted so that I can't read anything.  I can enter commands and can only use a reboot command to get it functional again.  I do not have this problem with the fglrx driver.
    I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with an ATI Mobility X1400 graphics card.
    Here is my xorg.conf if it helps:

    It is very possible to have direct rendering on YOUR card (r5xx) with the radeon(ati) driver, but you need a lot of packages that are still in testing, and it is a somewhat daunting task to sort through everything.
    Most importantly, you need x-server 1.5 and mesa 7.1+
    The packages that you need & are newer than core/extra are (all can be had from testing, except libgl):
    mesa >= 7.1
    xf86-input-evdev 2.0.4
    xf86-video-ati >= 6.9.0
    xorg-server >= 1.4.99.906
    libgl >= 7.1  ** has to be built from a with ABS/pkgbuild, because you need to add r300 & radeon dri-drivers in the configure **
    I have an x1650 (rv535) and have been running the radeon driver WITH direct rendering since JULY, and the performance is very good. I can run compiz without skipping a beat (while playing WOP), 2800FPS on glxgears, and ** play video WITHOUT TEARING **!!
    Please read a lot of what's going on in this forum:
    http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=43 (open source ati/amd)
    I hope this gives you some hope that it can be done.
    Fight the good fight FOSS for ALL!
    BTW, the radeon(ati) driver is better than radeonhd for our cards!!!

    I hada problem with ATI in my xorg 7 and my solution was to change the xorg.conf driver to ...vesa.
    I don't know if your card supports fglrx but I suspect it may not and the ati-drivers are for that function.
    Just a thought...

  • Need some help with ati drivers and i think xorg

    i installed ati-dri and xorg and can boot up kde (sort of) because when kde starts it glitches and its semi-different each time but the main point is i think i have to downgrade xorg or mabye i dont have correct drivers for my graphics card (ati radeon HD 4650).

    Edit: im going to do a full install of kde and hope that works. my lspi | grep VGA does indeed show the correct video card and the only other problem i can think of would be when ive tried to install certain catalyst-utils and other catalyst related packages im getting a pacman cant install missing dependencies catalyst=10.11 so i went searching for a catalyst=10.11 but it was never that exact name and nothing seemed to work.
    major edit: i got xorg working and can probably handle it from here.

  • Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pix

    Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pixels
    I have a Macro 8 core purchased just 4 months ago with the ATI Radeon HD 2600. Just started getting what looks like electrical interference or flickering pixels all over the screen. It gets worse and worse to the point where i see and cant work then clears up for an hour and then comes back.
    If I change the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1600x1200 everything looks fine and the problem goes away.
    Monitor works fine on two other computers, driver is up to date.
    Would like to upgrade at some point just disappointed that I’m already having problems.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful, in the mean time I’ll searching the forums.
    Thanks,

    When you called Applecare or went to a Genius bar were they of no help?

    Please Help Me....Thnx
    Sorry my english language  is weak...:manvery

    Nimestä päätellen oletan että oot varmaan suomesta  
    Eli suomeksi sanottuna osnavi sanoo että ongelma voi johtua liian heikkotehoisesta virtalähteestä, sitä ei voi säätää tehokkaammaksi mistään biosista vaan jos se on alitehoinen pitää hommata uusi tehokkaampi virtalähde. Eli nuo arvot löytyy todennäköisesti sen virtalähteen kupeessa olevasta tarrasta. Se 12 volttia pitäisi olla vähintään 12 amppeeria että se riittäisi kunnolla radeonin näytönohjaimelle. Yleensä 300 wattinen poweri on riittävä, eli siinä tarrassa pitäisi olla maininta ainakin siitä kokonaistehosta, esim total output 300w tai jotain vastaavaa. Vika voi aivan hyvin olla jossain muuallakin, mutta yleensä täällä aina ensimmäiseksi syylliseksi arvellaan virtalähdettä, itselläni kyllä toisessa koneessa radeon 9200se näytönohjain toimii vaikka virtalähde on vain 200 wattinen. Niin ja muuten... eikö olisi helpompaa kysyä neuvoa ensin joltain suomenkieliseltä sivustolta  

  • Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. When I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Can this be resolved?

    Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. Took me quite awhile to identify, but when I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Once Firefox recognizes this and reinstalls the 6.0.1 update then severe display driver problems occur causing very erratic display behavior and ultimately rendering the system inoperative. The problem appears to occur within a minute or two after Firefox has been opened and it occurs even if Firefox has been subsequently closed prior to the actual event taking place. I have attempted this 6 times just to ensure that the problem was associated with the 6.0.1 update.

  • Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

    I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
    easily? Would
    be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
    use of
    them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

    Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
    I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
    widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
    currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
    Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
    ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
    ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
    TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
    ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
    Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
    widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
    finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
    with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
    and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
    TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
    now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
    for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
    is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
    another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
    current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
    heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
    Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
    If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
    look at it more closely.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

    I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
    Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

    I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
    After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
    All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
    "they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

  • Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

    My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone.  The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference.  The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background.  We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet.  The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message.  The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
    We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan.  None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance.  I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
    I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2.  I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function:  making and receiving phone calls.  I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care.  I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
    Thank you.

    If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
    What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

    Hello
    I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
    control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
    control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
    well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
    need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
    the htmlText string?

    I have been using RTE in a content management system and
    found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
    UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
    problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
    standard characters.
