fglrx hangs on gdm..black screen... :-(

[karlpiuemeno]

Hi... I've a problem with the ati drivers....

With the 8.42 and 8.43 too, when I boot my fedora 8, doesn't display gdm.....and hangs with a black screen.... before it was random... now avery boot....
I fix (everytime) this, booting in single mode, editing fglrx--->vesa and rebooting........ the drivers works.... but: games crash...
I'm sure that fglrx work, because glxgears goes faster than radeon drivers, and 2D is much more faster.

My config:

Ati Radeon X1050 DDR2 (256MB) 128bit AGP
asrock AM2nf3-vsta

fedora 8

Your card is a renamed X550, you can uninstall fglrx and use ati driver in xorg.conf.

Yes I know... but the radeon driver (the open source) it's slower (amsn scroll, flash videos, etc)

karlpiuemeno, what type of screen do you have? if it's a crt that might be the issue.

No, it's an LCD by HP

Now I'm using the radeon driver, fglrx was braking my ....... It continued to hang at boot.... but I need to use the fglrx... any idea to fix the problem?


Dear S. Claus,
