Trouble with my new ATI Radeon graphics card

Hello.
Today I installed Arch Linux on my PC. I wanted to run Xorg and needed the ATI graphics drivers. I read that the open source drivers aren't fast as the properietaries are. So I decided to choose the properietary one.
First I tried to install from the Arch Repositories (pacman -Sy catalyst catalyst-utils) but I got an error:
fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1)
After this I downloaded the .run-Script from ati.com. Whil starting X I got the same error as before:
fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1)
I checked my xorg.conf twice and it seems that there's everything is okay. But there's something I don't understand: In the config, the BusID is set to 1:0:0 and in the error message it uses 1:0:1.
lspci|grep VGA showed me the following information:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)]
It says that I have a PCIExpress card? But I don't have! It is a AGP card!
What can I do now? I waste hours of hours without getting an answer. Now I'm really depressed.
On a forum I read, I should buy a NVIDIA card. If no one can give me an answer, perhaps I will.
Thank you very much.

I am new to Linux but I used to have an X800 agp card when I used Ubuntu gutsy so I kind of know what you are going through.
I did a quick search here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI and spotted this ( I am hoping that this may help)
System Freezes/Hard locks
* To prevent system lockups, try adding the following lines to your fglrx "Device" section in xorg.conf
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0" # AGP locked user pages: disabled
Note: Neither option is necessary anymore since 8.24.18 because ATI has removed the internal AGP GART support from the driver.
* As well, the radeonfb framebuffer drivers have been known in the past to cause problems of this nature. If your kernel has radeonfb support compiled in, you may want to try a different kernel and see if this helps.
[edit] Hardware Conflicts
Radeon cards used in conjunction with some versions of the nForce3 chipset (e.g. nForce 3 250Gb) won't have 3D acceleration. Currently the cause of this issue is unknown, but some sources indicate that it may be possible to get acceleration with this combination of hardware by booting Windows with the drivers from nVIDIA and then rebooting the system. This can be verified by issuing in a root console the following command:
dmesg | grep agp
If you get something similar to this (using an nForce3-based system)
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Setting up Nforce3 AGP.
agpgart: aperture base > 4G
and also if issuing this command...
tail -n 100 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep agp
...gets something similar to:
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
Then you have this bug.
Some sources indicate that in some situations, downgrading the motherboard BIOS may help, but this cannot be verified in all cases. Also, a bad BIOS downgrade can render your hardware useless, so beware.
See bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6350 for more information and a potential fix.

Replacing Intel hd Graphics card with ATI Radeon Graphics card

Hi, I am using an hp G62 b51SI notebook with an intel hd graphics card. However, am thinking of changing it or supplementing it with an ATI Radeon Graphics card for increased gamiing performance. Is it possible to do so?

H520 with ATI Radeon Graphics card

I have an H520 (with a 700W replacement supply) with i7-3770 CPU running Windows 8 that does not recognize the ATI Radeon HD 7790 card that I've installed. If I set the BIOS to IGP as the default display device I can view Device Manager using the onboard graphics port, which only shows the Intel onboard graphics. Running the ATI Catalyst driver manager fails since it does not see the 7790.
If I set the BIOS to AUTO or PCIe I do not get any display on either the onboard or the 7790 graphics ports, so I have to physically remove the card to allow the machine to boot up again to use the onboard graphics by default to see the display again. The sequence for AUTO prioritizes the PCIe display first according to the BIOS description, so apparently the onboard display does not get activated for this BIOS setting when the 7790 is installed.
As described in some other graphics card posts, I tried setting OS Optimized Defaults to disable but this had no apparent effect.
BIOS is Rev ESAKT23A.
I've tested the 7790 on an old computer and verified that it is working.
How can I get the 7790 to be recognized on the H520?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After making your proposed changes I had a failure to boot with an error 1962, which I believe was due to Boot Mode = Legacy, but the good news is that there is now an output from the Radeon HD7790 with the following BIOS settings:
Display=AUTO
Secure Boot=Disabled
CSM=Enabled
Boot Mode=Auto
Boot Priority=Legacy First
OS Optimized Defaults=Enabled
Thank you so much neokenchi, this problem has been haunting me for a couple of days!

Realtek HD Audio driver disappears after installing an ATI Radeon graphics card

My Realtek HD Audio driver disappears (from both the Vista "Sound Manager" and the "Device Manager") and is replaced by an ATI HD Audio driver after installing an ATI Radeon 5450 graphics card. I've tried un-installing the ATI Audio driver and re-installing the Realtek Audio driver. But, upon rebooting, Vista automatically re-installs the ATI Audio driver (and the Realtek Audio driver, which I just re-installed, is no where to be found after rebooting). I'm using an HP a6110n desktop running Windows Vista.
This question was solved.

Hi:
I bet you were unpleasantly surprised by that!
The fix is simple:
Go into your system setup (BIOS) using the F10 key.
Find your device configuration menu. In that menu there should be a setting for your onboard audio. It is probably set to Auto.
Change the setting to Enabled. Hit the F10, key there and again when you save your settings and exit.
Now your onboard audio will be back and your HDMI out audio on your graphics card should work too when you need it.
What happened was when you installed the Video card with HDMI out, there is an audio chip on the video card for HDMI. The PC sensing a new sound card, just disabled the onboard sound card because it thought you didn't want to use the onboard card anymore.
Changing the BIOS setting to enabled tells the PC to use the onboard audio card as well as any others you may have installed.

Jagged text with NEC monitor & ATI 5770 graphics card

I just upgraded from a 23" ACD to the NEC PA271, which receives rave reviews in the design/photography communities.
Overall, I'm happy with the change. But one thing I've noticed is that some type appears jagged. It's almost as if anti-aliasing is behaving differently.
Display preference is set to native resolution (2560 x 1440). LCD font smoothing is turned on.
I've been on the phone with NEC. They had me send some screenshots. I also sent screenshots from my MacBook Pro for comparison. They agree that it's not right.
I told them I would see "snow" when the monitor first woke from sleep with the DVI connection, and they said that wasn't normal so they asked me to try the mini-display to display cable. I did, since I have the ATI 5770 card with 2 mini-display ports, but that didn't help.
Next step is they're going to replace the monitor. But it seems strange that it's only the text that doesn't display properly, and even then only certain text.
Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas before I go through the hassle of replacing the monitor.

In case anyone else has this problem:
I figured it out. It's described in this article:
http://macperformanceguide.com/Trials-FontSmoothing.html
I chose the "medium" setting, and it looks fantastic. The text is now dark, clear and smooth – even when small.

New ATI Radeon HD 4870 Card

I have been searching for the new ATI Radeon HD 4870 --- http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A --- graphics card online to upgrade my 2008 mac pro but it is backordered everywhere. I am told apple has bought them all up to upgrade the new 2009 mac pro's. So while I wait 6 weeks or more for the cards can any one tell me if it is possible for the even NEWER cards (which I can get on amazon.com) that are made for pc's work on macs?
Like the Diamond 4870X2PE52G ATI Radeon HD 4870X2 ?
http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-4870X2PE52G-Radeon-4870X2-GDDR5/dp/B001E1BP80/ref= sr115?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238624747&sr=8-15
Thanks

Lots of folks seem to be interested, so I repeat...
The reflashed 4870 1 GB GPU works just fine on my 1st Gen Mac Pro EFI32.
I've only had it a few days but I've thrown every thing I could at it (while saving my previous solid GPU, just in case).
Solid.
It will also work on all other more recent Mac Pros.
By far the fastest GPU in Boot Camp w/Vista Ultimate/32 I've ever installed (and I've previously installed the 8800 GT, the reflashed 8800 GTS, the reflashed 3870 and the reflashed 9800 GT).
The 4870 is the quiet one, and very, very fast in OS X mode.
Again, to be clear, I have an early 2007 Mac Pro (EFI32) and I've taken the time to test this new 4870 quite a bit in OS X 10.5.6.
Without the 10.5.6/7 drivers, the 4870 will run in OSX, but just barely.
Kind of shaky...
For OS X, I needed and obtained the 10.5.6/7 drivers from where I obtained the reflashed 4870:
http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/bruinmacsW0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQmdoZ
Now this GPU is at the top of all benchmarks available from anyone in OSX mode (Open GL test results).
Solid 5.9 Performance Experience score in Boot Camp Vista.
If you have a Mac Pro, other solutions are out there, but this is the strongest, quietest and coolest GPU I've been able to find.
I'll keep you posted, but it is reliable too.
And, you don't have to wait for Apple to make it available...
FYI...

How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?

How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?
I am using a IBM Thinkpad T42 with a 32Mb ATI Radeon 7500 graphic card AGP.
Is there any Vista 32-bit driver to update my card so that this system support Aero effect?
Thank you.

The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card. I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

Unfortunately no. The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

Unable to Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 using High-Performance on AMD Radeon Graphic Card

I have been unable to launch Adobe Premiere Pro since installing it with the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"
Here are my specs:
Lenovo Ideapad U400
Windows 7 (64bit)
Intel i5 2.5 ghz processor
AMD Radeon 6470M graphics card
The only occasion during which I have successfully launched Premiere Pro was after reverting to the default graphics card on my computer and uninstalling AMD Radeon, otherwise, I have tried to change Premiere Pro to run on High-Performance on Catalyst Control Center to no avail, I do not wish to revert to the Standard Graphics Card as it slows down my computers performance one hell of a lot, neither do I wish to have to constantly uninstall and reinstall my AMD Radeon Graphics Card when I use Premiere Pro. Thank you for your time.

Update:
- with Intel (R) HD Graphics Card disabled, Catalyst Control Center reports that no AMD Graphic card is installed
- using Device Manager under Control Panel, AMD Radeon 6470M was verified to be up-to-date
- Premiere Pro works so long as I disable the Intel card before launch, however, I re-enable it upon startup to get rid of the 800x600 resolution
- AMD Mobility Radeon Driver Verification Tool is unable to verify and update my driver, refers me to lenovo to update it.
- My graphics card is up-to-date as verified by lenovo
- Intel (R) HD Graphics Card now up-to-date
- Display currently mainly using Intel (R) HD Graphics Card (Possibly why it caps resolution at 1024x768 when disabled) I'm not sure how to switch the main Graphics Card used, Catalyst Control Center doesn't seem to have the option.
- when disabled, computer reverts to vgasave instead of Radeon
- Disabling Radeon does nothing to existing display
- After updating my Intel card, Catalyst Control Center reported CCC was not supported by the current display adapter
- CCC worked after rolling back Intel card
From what I infer, I believe the problem to root from my intel card being the main card used, if there is anyway to switch my radeon card to the default instead of the Intel card, do tell me, I believe this may solve the problem, I apologise for troubling you guys, and I'm starting to feel that I shouldn't be troubling Adobe with my problem with AMD, this discussion is probably really out of place but I hope it will help out others with a similar problem.

Early '08 iMac with a GeForce 8800 GS graphics card.

I have an early '08 iMac with a GeForce 8800 GS graphics card. Can I update my card with a newer, better updated one? Would like to play Battlefield 3 and others. If so, can I replace it myself or should Apple do it after I buy it from OWC.

Apple will not install a non-Apple product in your iMac. Maybe an Apple Authorized Service Provider might.
Some models have replaceable video cards, but updating with a newer one will require much research, (my guess is that this is not possible, as connectors and circuitry aren't standardized).
See this DIY on an iMac video card procedure to see if it's something you would want to try yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-iMac-Intel-20-Inch-EMC-2133-and-2210-Vide o-Card/1014/1

Old bios - no dual core, new bios - no graphic card

Hello. I have a old computer with a MSI K8N Neo Platinum 2 that had the 1.5 bios version. I bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Toledo and it wasn't being recognized as it should ("AMD Hammer Unknown Model") and only 1 core was being detected. I've updated the bios and it got recognized correctly and it's Windows experience score got from 4.2 to 5.1 and it is ok now I guess. But, with the updated bios my graphic card's driver fails to load. I tested several of them both from chipset and card manufacturer's and or they fail to load or I get a BSOD 0x50 . I've tried to find a bios version that didn't blow up the graphic card driver while fixing the dual core issue but the very version that fixes the dual core issue is the one that blows the graphic card driver. And it's name is "1.9". I tried all newer bios and the same happens with all of them. Basically, or I get dual core or I get graphic drivers. This all is happening on Windows 7 Home Basic but I'm afraid will happen on any operative system if it is a bios issue. I also changed agp related configurations in the bios but nothing changes. My graphic card is an ASUS AH4650 AGP.
Any help is appreciated.

That PSU you have now can be bought for a little as € 5 ($ 7), shipping costs are more expensive then that
I take this opportunity to pose another question to all of you friendly individuals that are helping me with my issue.
As I told you, this pc is dated and I don't really need the PSU to be that future proof. I see that you have only recommended units branded Corsair. In the shop where I buy this kind of stuff there are another brands so I'll leave you the list hoping you can recommend me one that fits this system and that is a little bit less expensive in case you can find a good match. Pardon me if I'm abusing of your time.
Site: http://www.novoatalho.pt/
In the left navigation menu, please chose "Componentes" - "Fontes de Alimentação", and select a brand of them or press the menu itself on "Fontes de Alimentação" to get a list of all of them.
Don't know how/if the memory I use makes it different but I have 4 dimms of 2GB combined. I was using only 1.5G but now with the new firmware the motherboard is handling 1GB + 500MB + 250MB + 250MB. The rest is hard disks and cd drives, I'm not even using a PCI card.
If you still just recommend Corsair, is absolutely fine.
Btw, another thing, please remember that this motherboard has a VGA slot not PCI-E. Don't know if that changes something for the PSU.

I am having this same problem and I have even contacted my bank. The address they have is EXACTLY the way I am typing it. It does match. I do not understand.

I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard: Part II

Hi
I haven't got any more replies to my post "I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard" by Krelian 2003.09.13 at 05:25. Please help! I've been struggling with this for a LONG time. And now my computer won't boot at all! Sometimes the LED's in front of the computer lights up for half a second, and nothing more happens. The only sign of life is the green light in the LAN jack. It happened after I took the ide cable for my harddrive in and out of the mainboard. This is insane, how can that suddeny happen :O ?! I was asked by wonkanoby to post max amps for my PSU, I did, and I really need to know if I maybe need a new PSU, since he asked that. Can a new PSU solve all the problems mentioned in my previous posts? Everything was fine except that I couldn't get into Windows, before i tried another harddrive on my computer. How can that complicate things so much? I have tried going barebone, and taking out the cmos battery and setting the jumpers JBAT1, J10 and J11. I have also tried every suggestion I got. Please help! I really need to get this fixed!
-Krelian

Some power supplies or designed so that if there is a short or overload they shut them selfs off and some will not turn back on. Some have a relay that will click back on and work, some you have to cycle the power switch. Those that won't come back on will have to be replaced. I'm not saying that yours is that type as I have no way of telling. But if you have a friend who will loan you a good power supply you might try it. As someone else said just turning off the power will not darn all the power from some motherboards. To test this turn off your power supply than turn on the computer with the start botton. Mine will flash the lights and fans will start to spin than die. So every time you turn off computer to work on it. After turning off PSU hit the start botton to drian any power left in it before working on it. Also do this after unplugging it just to make sure.
