Here goes te same: when in 2d mode (kwin) the entire screen is garbled. When switching to composite mode in kwin of compiz-fusion everything is fine (and a lot faster than begore!).

Only sad thing...

Any updates on the registers? I would like to use readontool, as I cannot use aticonfig powerstate options (openSUSE 10.3, Driver 8.40, Xgl, cannot pass anything to the Xserver...).

The X1400 is a strange duckling if you ask me... I always see X1300, X1600 and so on, but never any details about X1400 (or to put it differently: strange reports concerning the X1400). And now those...

When I try to run either one of these versions, my entire system freezes. Hard reset (poweroff) is the only way to go.

I've got a Dell Inspiron 6400 (E1505) with an ATI X1400, running Xgl with...

openSUSE 10.3 x86_64, followed the instructions, also renamed /usr/lib64/libInd....so.1 --> no succes

Compiz now segfaults.

Alas... back to 40.4 again... XGL didn't even want to run properly with 42 :/

What is it with openSUSE and ATI?? Amdcccle doesn't want to run properly (also with hack in /etc/profile etc) and now...

I changed /usr/bin/compiz-manager; added fglrx to the whitelist and removed all ati related things in the blacklist.

But to no avail. I still get the same error in openSUSE 10.3 amd64. I think...

*update on this issue*

For people who want to use "newer" fglrx drivers (all _after_ 8.28) with SuSE, there is a workaround... Found it on a novell bugzilla list (and is now also found on opensuse...

Yup, rebuild, 8.33.6. All the same... I find it very odd.

Isnt that the default xorg.conf (after rpm install) and after running "aticonfig --initial"? Ifso, i've tried that as well, to no avail :(

What could be the problem that ONLY 8.28.8 works :?...

Still the same :(
Preinit(dal) failed

Got any more ideas? I just cant believe this.... bleh! Phoronix, could you perhaps post your Xorg.conf so that I could try that one?

My xorg.conf:


Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
<SNIP>
FontPath "/opt/kde3/share/fonts"
InputDevices "/dev/gpmdata"

I've been having major problems with my laptop and ATI drivers... It's a Dell 6400 (E1505) with a X1400 card (and C2D cpu).

Afaik the only working driver for me is 8.28.8. The versions before that...
