  • Black screen on startup - Radeon graphics driver or EDID issue?

    Having installed Arch, I am only able to boot into Linux (console mode) when I pass the option "nomodeset" in GRUB to disable KMS. If I try to boot with KMS enabled then the screen goes black almost immediately upon boot. There appears to be no further activity from the system: I can't even reboot using CTRL-ALT-DEL. Nor is there any log activity that I can find. The system appears to just hang.
    My graphics card is a Radeon 9200. From a general websearch, other people have reported a similar issue with this card on other distros, but the "solution" they get is usually "it now works with the updated version of $(DISTRO)". My next move should probably be to try the Catalyst driver, but there's one other thing that suggests to me that the problem is more to do with the monitor (specifically, with the EDID provision) than the driver....
    Running "vbeinfo" at the GRUB command line shows the default resolution as 1280x1024x32. When I run "vbetest" at the GRUB command line, I initially get the graphics test pattern displayed correctly. However, when I press enter to end that test pattern I don't return to the GRUB command line. Instead I get a black screen with a blinking white cursor. No input from the keyboard is displayed if I type, but pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot does work from here.
    I've looked at the section on the Wiki about Forcing Modes and EDID, but this area's still very much a mystery to me, and the Wiki itself says that this secition is still "a WIP". I guess I'm just wondering if, from the behaviour above, if the problem with using KMS is due to an issue with the graphics card itself or if I should be trying to generate my own custom EDID file, which sounds painful . Passing the built-in resolution 1280x1024 via the drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware option, as suggested on the Wiki, made no difference in behaviour at all. Trying to pass 1024x768 in the same way did make snowy artefacts appear on the monitor, but didn't get me to a point where the system appeared any closer to actually booting up.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I've currently got the X running fine using the VESA driver (no custom Xorg.conf file needed), but it's more than a little slow. I'd like to have 2D acceleration available at the very least.

  • Radeon HD 8750m switchable graphics driver BY HP is not working on Windows 8.1

    Hello all,
    I have  laptop Envy 6-1200el.
    It's a good machin but I have always been annoyed by video drivers trouble.
    When I bought my PC last year it worked good when we had Windows 8, but the video drivers didn't work properly already there.
    The drivers made troubles when I tryed to start some 3D applications as Batman: Arkham Asylum. The problem was the HP video driver. That driver is made by Radeon HD drivers plus Intel HD 4000 series all together.
    To make the two video cards working together properly you cannot use intel driver installation first then the AMD catalyst installation utility, but you need a driver installation utility that installs the two video cards both, otherwise the switchable graphics will not work properly and 3D applications won't start.
    When I had Windows 8.1 update I had absolutely to find a new driver. I downloaded the automatic utility from AMD site and luckily it downloaded an updated driver that was including and installing together both the video cards properly. Since there my laptop started to work very good in everithing.
    Some days ago I had to format my PC and that good video driver got lost.
    I installed almost everithing including windows 8.1 update but I sadly discovered that on AMD site it was downloadable only the Radeon HD driver not including any more switchable graphics installation and Intel HD driver.
    I have now installed the video driver given by HP on the right laptop portal, but this driver IS SO BAD!!!
    HP says that it's an update driver working properly on Windows 8.1 but it's false!
    MY PC WITH THAT HP DRIVER IS MAKING MANY TROUBLES:
    - 3D GAMES ARE NOT STARTING OR NOT WORKING PROPERLY;
    - PASSING THE MOUSE ON THE NEW START BUTTON ON WINDOWS 8.1, THE BUTTON BECOMES BLACK!
    - HP UTILITY CENTER IS NOT OPENING;
    - HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY;
    - THE SYNAPTICS MOUSE DRIVER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY, THE DOUBLE TOUCH DOESN'T WORK ETC.;
    - iNTEL DRIVERS INCLUDED ON THAT HP PACKAGE ARE OLD;
    - SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS DOESN'T WORK GOOD AND IS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME 3D CHARGES TO THE RIGHT CARD.
    PLEASE HP RELEASE AN UPDATE! pLEASE MAKE A REAL COMPLETE DRIVER THAT IS REALLY ACTUAL AND IS REALLY WORKING ON WINDOWS 8.1 WITHOUT CONFLICTS, WITHOUT GRAPHICS ERRORS ETC.!!!
    THIS SITUATION IS UNACCETTABLE, SOLVE IT PLEASE!

    Hi Fotoji,
    I want to be honest, it's very disappointing for me to be treated like a child.
    You should know that most of the people you meet here in this forum are not n00bs and the causes you suggest to consider haveall already been excluded in every way you would try yourself too!
    The fact you say, that the issues are caused by a 'broken OS' are so disappointing and unbelievable!
    I work in IT field since I was 14yo and now I am a graduated 28 who knows very well how to handle a PC in a clean and smart way.
    Look, many of these issues was already 'on' when I bought and started my PC for the very FIRST TIME.
    The video drivers needed are auto-installing drivers containing intel and AMD video drivers both and installed together at the same time.
    The first day I had my PC the system was VIRGIN, I simply installed steam then ran 'Batman:Arkham Asylum' to make a try, it has never ran up, no matter if the OS is W8 or W8.1, no matter if the PC is new or used for 6 months, that driver has never worked good.
    I tryed many things, used HP recovery manager several times in order to make a clean OS new installation, but it always went like that.
    Recently I sent my computer to HP Italy fro an hardisk problem, replaced in warranty. The laptop came back CLEAN, perfect, with W8.1 and all the new recent drivers.
    The problem was the same, games did not run or ran badly, the start symbol was black, HP Utility Center didn't work.
    So tell me where's the magic when I unistall in a CLEAN AND CORRECT way those video drivers, why EVERITHING COMES TO WORK SO GOOD BACK????
    Some months ago I knew that those drivers where so bad so I tryed to download the original driver package from AMD site, hoping that they was including the intel video drivers both, and guess...IT WORKED!
    Those drivers was including the intel video drivers too during installation, then after a restart I had NO GRAPHICS ERROR, NO HP UTILITY CENTER FREEZE, ANY GAME OR 3D APPLICATION WORKED AT LEAST 2x FASTER AND NOT ANY COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM IN ANY STATE OR SITUATION.
    Unfortunately my laptop started to have maybe some motherboard power problems and my HDD passed away then HP took my pc and fixed it.
    When it came back it was perfect again, virgin, with all the update installed, with those bad HP drivers installed again, so with all those problems that I found since I bought it: graphics error, compatibility problems, some programs freeze, all WHITOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING!!!
    I knew that I would solve it just downloading the right drivers directly from AMD site but UNLUCKILY THE NEW CATALYST 14.4 DIDN'T INCLUDE THE INTEL VIDEO DRIVER ANY MORE.
    I had all those compatibility, stability and graphics problems always with a just-formatted computer with all the updates installed, a virgin untouched machine just formatted completely automatically using HP recovery manager or fixed by your engeneers!!!
    The only case everithing worked very good was when I used the original AMD's drivers, when these used to inclued the intel graphics drivers too during AUTO-INSTALLATION.
    I am replying now using a just-formatted machine automatically and perfectly just using HPRECOVERY MANAGER,and updated using WINDOWS UPDATE and HP SUPPORT CENTER self updater.
    So guess what???? When I uninstall in A CORRECT WAY your HP video drivers (doesn't matter if the new one or the oldest) everything works good back, and when I used original AMD drivers everything worked so good.
    It's so hard to do something wrong about it, the driver installation utility are IDIOT-PROOF, you cannot do anything during installation except for clicking the RESTART button.
    So AMD used to make perfect drivers and now not any more, sadly, every issue disappears without your driver installed, HP sent me a perfect virgin computer with the same issues.
    So please, don't tell me that AMD is able to make better software, don't tell me HP is not able to handle a recovery and sent me a pc with the same issues, don't tell me I probably made a bad use of my VIRGIN laptop after years spent on SGI workstations UNIX based.
    I know how to keep a pc clean, and I'm telling you something more: the new synaptics mousepad driver package you are giving from HP website and HP support center DOESN'T WORK GOOD TOO!!!
    Once you accept the auto update it starts with the self installation, but after the restart gess what?? The double toe gesture used to simulate the right click doesn't work any more!!!
    No matter if you try to change any option in the control panel, no matter if you have windows 8 or 8.1, just try to unistall that and reinstall the old synaptics mouse driver and, OH WOW MAGIC, IT WORKS GOOD BACK AGAIN!!!
    So now what?
    Are you thinking that HP engeneers who fixed my laptop wasn't able to re-install windows and drivers?
    The IT engineers working for HP are maybe also n00bs that can't handle a pc format and send me a BROKEN OS as you said?
    I am magically breaking my os system just clicking one time on clean automatic HP recovery button then click on the automatic update buttons twice????
    Perhaps AMD is able to make more stable end recent drivers than HP does???
    (considering that aven the last HP graphics drivers update is so bad because the intel side of the package is very old and you can recognize it just making a comparison with the new intel additional control panel!)
    I don't need to recover the system for the 4th time in a proper way (plus HP fix would be the 5th!), I know these silly things.
    I need to be taken seriously and not be treated like a grandmother who's not able to switch-on a smartphone!
    I would challenge anyone to operate on my computer and try to solve it using Teamviewer and HP's drivers!
    I think I've been quite hard nut hopefully clear, so please do something more than giving me a manual fro grannies.
    Thank you.

  • Updating Radeon HD 3200 Graphics Driver - Help Required ASAP

    Hi guys.
    I have a question regarding updating the graphics drivers (Radeon HD 3200) on my Lenovo X100e ThinkPad. I cannot & it's doing my head IN!!! I'm stuck using the latest version Lenovo released on their website on 2nd July, 2010 (v8.663.2.1-091216a-093974C-Lenovo)!
    I've had no problems compiling & installing the latest ATI/AMD drivers on my Linux (BackTrack v5) partition, so I do know a little about computers.
    I've tried methods recommended here & by others shown on the following website:
    http://glob.lokety.com/enable-hardware-acceleration-on-lenovo-x100e-for-better-video-playback/
    Basically, no matter what version driver I try to update to I get the following error message (when attempting to manually update via Windows Device Manager):
    “Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device"
    “Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it [ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]”
    “The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows...”
    If anybody out there has a solution they can share I would be super appreciative; what little of my hair is left is in a most precarious situation...
    Thank you all for your time. I hope you all had a very merry Christmas & wish you all a happy new year while I'm at it.
    Simon (mezcal)
    PS. sorry to cross-post on both the ThinkPads Support Community & the Lenovo Community forums – I'm just hoping someone out there has an answer for me – no doubt being so terribly simple & straightforward that I'll look like a noob S.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dear The_Solutor,
    Thank you kindly for your quick reply, & what's more:
    IT WORKED!!!
    My x64 bit version of Windows 7 (Pro) was starting to get a little bloated, etc. so, using Acronis True Image, I dropped a fresh & clean image of Win 7 SP1 & immediately updated the HD 3200 Graphics driver (after unpacking the installer you provided). This is certainly the best (computer related) event of my new year. THANK YOU.
    I'm not sure if the problem was a result of my Windows installation becoming corrupted over time or (more likely) a result of incorrect driver usage.
    Sometimes ATI's (AMD) driver selection method can be a little confusing (for notebooks like the X100e). Can you walk me through the choices you made to get to the correct download? For example, on their 'support - driver download' section of their website, what do you choose for the following 'drop-down' selection boxes:
    1. Component Category
    2. Product Line
    3. Product Model
    4. Operating System (obvious even to me!).
    Thanks again mate. I really appreciate the time you took to solve my problem.
    Happy New Year,

  • I have a blacklisted graphic driver (radeon 1950x pro) with no available update -- suggetions for a work around?

    I gave a blacklisted graphics driver for radeon 1950x pro (ATI) that has no available update. From what I can tell, because my driver version are not supported I am suffering from 'glitchy' performances, especially in flash-based websites (eg: the game Zuma Blitz suffers highly from what appears frame-rate issues).
    Any suggestions?

    Some websites are 'glitchy' so there must be some impact vs the two versions. For example, a simple flash game like Zuma Blitz suffers from what appears to be frame-rate issues. While 3.6.x does not.
    Youtube even is glitchy now. Google's maps. Ect.
    And before it's suggested, I have updated flash to double check that wasn't the issue.

  • OpenGL3.3+ Update? Edit: Radeon HD6490M switchable graphics driver update Windows 7?

    So I recently purchased a game that requires me to run OpenGL3.3 or more. Currently I can do OpenGL3.1, and after poking around some I see no reason why my graphics cards couldn't support it. Do I need to download something for OpenGL, or do my drivers need to be updated? (HP Support says they don't but I'm skeptical). Any help/advice is appreciated. Also, I was poking around this old question, but couldn't do squat with it... quite new at all this after all... Edit: I've been looking more, and it seems that the answer would be an updated graphics driver. The problem is, I'm not sure if there is one (Again, HP Support, etc. says I don't need one...). I have a dv6t-6100, with Radeon HD 6490M switchable graphics on Windows 7, 64-bit. It sounds like others have had luck updating their drivers just by the virtue of running on Windows 8 rather than 7. Any suggestions, work-arounds, other drivers that might similarly work for me?

    So after updating to Windows 10, what I was trying to do originally works now that my video drivers have finally updated. Doesn't solve the original problem exactly, and I continue to wonder why HP kept me in the dark on these updates...

    Hi:
    See if this works...
    Download and run the W8.1 graphics driver from your model's support page...Close out of any error windows.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-135683-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters category.  Click on the Standard VGA Adapter.  Click on the Driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.
    Select the Browse my computer for driver software method and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
    That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp67327.  Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.  Then reboot.
    If the graphics driver was succesfully installed, you should now be able to adjust the screen brightness and the webcam should work as well.

Then i could install windows 7 ultimate 64bits and download the new BIOS driver. And that as you make so easy you just need to copy the ".exe" driver bios and put in a usb free. Start program, upgrade bios, reboot, and finish! you have richland v2.2 or something and you can run APU A10 6800k with no problems =)

  • Windows 8.1 and graphics driver for AMD Radeon HD7670m

    Hello
    Some time ago, i`ve had problem with updating my Windows8 (64-bit) to 8.1 (64-bit). The problem was with switchable graphics, only Intel HD4000 was working and i couldn`t fix it by Catalyst Control centre, by AMD support forum and by this forum as well. 
    I`ve seen this trouble a lot at forums, but i didn`t find the solution and reistalled my Windows 8.
    Switchable graphics worked, but only this only old driver. All newones that i`ve tried to use didn`t work, or worked incorrect. That`s one question: we have only old driver (8.962.10.6000) without updates for new games, OSs, etc?
    And another question is: was the problem fixed?
    Because i`d like to install Windows 8.1, but i don`t want to "play" with drivers, strange solutions (like install beta driver for Windows7, from AMD website) and other. I want a working notebook (pavillion g6 2368 sr) with switchable graphics and win8.1

    Hello @hi4man ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you have concerns about upgrading your notebook to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 and losing the switchable graphics feature.
    To use the switchable graphics feature you must use the drivers provided by HP on your products Drivers & Downloads page.
    The drivers for your notebooks GPUs are bundled into one installation, meaning the Intel and AMD GPU drivers are in one package. This package is supported on both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and is available here: AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver.
    Try installing this driver after updating to Windows 8.1 and let me know if it works.
    Note that you may need to disable the updates from Windows or the HP Support Assistant to have continued switchable graphics functionality.
    I look forward to your reply!

  • How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

    Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update  to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
    The Background/history
    I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8.  I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit.  The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in.... 
    The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black....  in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
    The problem, re-emphasized :  I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files?  not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run...  Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver  without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
    This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
    Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
    ---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe"  - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
    ---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/  for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
    ---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

    hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something?  if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean?  it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
    Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this?  just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600?  (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
    So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
         1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
         2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

  • Graphics Driver for HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC for Win 8.1

    Hello Everyone,
    I currently have an HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 Quad Edition with intel i7 and switchable radeon HD graphics card . I have made the jump from Windows 7 to 8.1 as I am a Current University student studying Information technology and have the need to be updated in terms of technology. I found Win 8.1 to run a bit faster on my PC than Win 7. I have ran into a couple of problems when upgrading to 8.1.
    1.) I've been having an issue finding the correct and stable Video Graphics driver for my Radeon HD 6770M switchable graphics. I tried intalling the original Win 7 driver in the HP driver but does not work properly. I have also tried download a generic driver from the AMD Radeon driver website, but the screen is extremly dim when intalled and is almost impossible to use unless I hold a lamp to the LCD screen. The brightness function keys DO get reconized when pressed, but the brighness will not change no matter how high or low the brightness threshold is at.
    2.) It is a bit out of topic, but I have also been having alot of trouble getting the validity fingerprint sensor to work with Win 8.1.
    I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these issues or point me in the right direction in order to get them fixed. I am an IT student and have done alot of reasearch on these topics but have been unable to get them to work as intented.
    P.S: I have read alot of fixes about brightness using regedit and edditing some values on specific registry entries. I have found them for many other pc manufacturers, but not for HP. Not an expert on registry stuff, but seems like many people get it fixed by doing so. Just an idea.

    Due to the age of this model, HP is only providing drivers for Windows 7. After searching through the HP Forum, I was unable to find a satisfactory solution to your issue.

  • AMD Radeon Graphic Card 8670 not working on my Pavillion 15 notebook n259tx win8.1

    i recently purchased the above notebook and tried to play some games but i am getting error that my graphic card drivers are either not installed properly or they are missing altogether, i had installed drivers from AMD's autodetect driver tool. Earlier i had installed AMD drivers from windows update but the problem still exists. In the game i am getting memory insufficient error, unable to change graphics and display settings. Game crashes giving me error message as to update my AMD graphic drivers.

    I tried changing settings through BIOS setup, but no such (Advance/Display)setting were available??
    I tried setting the app to high performance too through 'Configue Switchable Graphics' option but no success.
    Please tell me which drivers i need to install or what i need to do to work my AMD Radeon Card.
    This question was solved.

    Hi DevangS,
    If you are using GTA 4 then that would actually be the problem. According the PC System Requirements for GTA 4 it is only compatible with Windows Vista and Windows XP. Also the game requires a minimum of a 1.8 GHz processor and your model only has 1.7 GHz. You are trying to run an older game on the wrong operating system with hardware that doesn't meet the requirements for the game. Changing the BIOS or the NET framework isn't going to help with this issue.
