[Crossfire] Problem with Alienware m17x r2 5870m Crossfire
As the title says, I can't use Ati driver at all, Crossfire or not.
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 full updated
driver: Catalyst 10.12 from offical website
Code:
sudo aticonfig --lsa
* 0. 03:00.0 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series
1. 02:00.0 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series
* - Default adapter
Code:
sudo aticonfig --adapter=0,1 --initial
Found fglrx primary device section
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-0
Code:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If I reboot now I get black and empty screen, the only solution is to erase xorg.conf from live.
So I've retried:
Code:
sudo aticonfig --adapter=0,1 --initial
No reboot and immediately adding Crossfire
Code:
sudo aticonfig --cfa --adapter=0,1
CrossFire chain added
sudo aticonfig --cf on --adapter=0,1
Warning: No CrossFire chain defined for master adapter 1
CrossFire chain(s) enabled
But still getting black screen at reboot.
