Description Thomas Schmidt 2006-02-24 13:09:40 UTC

sax automatically sets up my Radeon X300 with driver radeon in xorg.conf .
This was still working with beta3. 
Now it hangs the machine on X startup. 
The last line of Xorg.log says: 
"(WW) RADEON(0): Enabling DRM support" 
Even starting sax with "sax2 -rl" fails. 
When I use the "VESA" driver X works. 
You can have a look at it on host bessel.suse.de.

New i386 RPM for testing

Try this one.

Comment 5 Andreas Klein 2006-02-24 14:06:05 UTC

Same problem in IBM R50p (32 bit) and on 64bit machine with Radeon 9600.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-24 14:08:06 UTC

And completely reconfigure X11 using "sax2 -r". X11 configuration during installation is totally broken in Beta5 due to package manager.

Comment 7 Andreas Klein 2006-02-24 14:13:58 UTC

Yes, this fixes the problem on my R50p.
Can I have the package also for 64bit. to see, if it is the same problem on that machine?

Comment 8 Thomas Schmidt 2006-02-24 14:32:43 UTC

This fixed it for the T42p based on the ATI Radeon 350 too... Thanks

Comment 12 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-02-26 09:14:14 UTC

When running in DualHead mode with driver #4, the external display stays
black. The external LCD menue shows 60.3kHz/75.2Hz with 1024x768.
xorg.conf is attached...
xdpyinfo shows correct size (2424x1050).
