Hey Phoronix,
Yea im the new :) hi all
I have very very similar problems like many have in a few related threads, trying to get fglrx up and running with hw accel.
Never got it working, all time "booting into black screen",
X -configure with fglrx enabled really fails and give me a backtrack ( i havent noted but i can reproduce it if someone needs it)
Got the famous sb600 Mainboard and following stuff
SB600 ALiveXFire eSATA2
AMD64 X2 6000+
4GB RAM (mem=2048 wont help)
ATI Technologies Inc RV670PRO [Radeon HD 3850] CardExpert Technology Device 0401
full lspci output:

The really funny and blaming part is really all components are from AMD / ATI AND THEY DONT EVEN GET WORKING DRIVERS FOR OUR WOUNDERFULl OPENSOURCE COMMUNITY ?!?! WTF (sorry capslock)
No , really....I have spend my whole life to get it working, stuck 2-3 Month with that, i had NO success to get it proberly working w/ full hw accel.
@ kizo
he described this issue in his thread
see this ahci 0000:00:12.0: controller can't do 64bit DMA, forcing 32bit
your right, We definitely have some DMA issues but i think they are not the reason...
I tried another board with that system too, dont remember the SB but it was a nforce board. It produced the same issues
I tried Debian with many different kernel versions and Xorg configurations - No succes.
Then i read here ati does test drivers more on ubuntu etc so i gave it a try.
Ubuntu says at booting something about memory hole IOMMU stuff but i dont have option to disable that.
Anyway same issus booting into black
same X -configure fail w/ fglrx and backtrack
i dont get it... i have absolutely no clue where to go further...
Hope someone can get a little light into this one
Im glad if i can help or test a little if someone has an idea about that - ill try it out
im attching a few logs maybe theyr helpfull...
That was on Ubuntu 8.10 w/ config described above
xorg.log after "booting into blackscreen" http://rafb.net/p/XWnQPc81.html
dmesg http://rafb.net/p/iJLukz53.html
