The "Markers" information already stated there. I don't think I can claim credits for that...Code:# head -20 /var/log/Xorg.0.log Window System Version 6.9.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.9 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18.8-smp i686 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux virgo 2.6.22-rc4 #1 Wed Jun 6 12:09:39 SGT 2007 i686 Build Date: 19 April 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I see few things in both configs that would have an impact. Probably directly specifying the card port with BusID "PCI:1:5:0" fixes the problem (as the problem seems to be with libfglrxdrm - the Xorg.log ends as it's loading).
"Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes" " may be the solution if karthikrg doesn't have the agpgart module built (I doubt it though).

Yes, I forgot to mention. I do not use the agp module that comes with the kernel. In my experience, it seems to cause a lot of problem to me (at least for my system).
ETA: Just to clarify, I do build the kernel modules. However, since I enabled this option, I had assumed even though modules are load into the system, they are not being used by fglrx. However, I am using this same setup since I first successfully configured my ATI card (it was sometime around Dec2005/Jan2006). Since then, every upgrade/updates from ATI, I only update the fglrx portion, and did not change this option in xorg.conf. So, maybe now, this option no longer needed.

AGP gart for a PCI-E card??? I am not sure of this.. jus asking.. and yaa how to manually specify the BUS ID in xorg.conf.. pls tell me
Senior Member
Yes, I believe you still need agpgart because it handles memory allocation for 2d/3d.
As for the BusID, run "lspci |grep VGA" to get it. For example on my system:
01:00:0 is the BusID. Combine it with PCI and you get BusID "PCI:1:0:0" (even if you're on AGP).Code:# lspci |grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R481 [Radeon X850XT-PE]

I thought we should use xorgcfg to create the xorg.conf and use it to run with "aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (my xorgcfg save xorg.conf to this path)?
By using xorgcfg, it should create a working xorg.conf. This will make it easier for us to tweak the system.

Whatever suits you
xorgcfg crashes for me and leaves me with a blank screen, if ran from the console (it seems useless in X) and aticonfig freezes if ran with X.

Oh... Yeah... I remember now...
Well, I guess this one of the reason why there are many complaints. I know many of us dread the idea of editing xorg.conf manually...

i Pm'ed michael larabel and he said the issue shud hopefully be fixed in 8.38 which is due soon.. guess its a known fglrx bug then
Senior Member
Well, I guess, this is unfortunate for you. Thank goodness my Xpress 200M is working fine...
