Hi,
I got a really annoying issue ... I built a new comp based on an asus P5E mobo with an intel Q6600 and 4Gigs of crucial tracer ballistix PC-2 8500.
The first Graphical card I bought is a saphire HD3870-X2.
After installing the latest ati linux drivers, the X server ain't starting, the graphical card ain't recognized ...
Thus, I thought "ok, people on phoronix are using a 3870 and it seems to work fine for them", and bought one (Gigabyte 3870 with 512 Mb).
Now, when I start the X server, the screen is like switching res, then turns off, and the pc reboots ! :X (even if I'm not using a super user ...)
My linux distibution is a Slamd64 (64 bits version of the Slackware) with all packages installed.
The logs of the Xorg startup tells me that the gpu is recognized from an unknown constructor or something (I'll provide this thread with logs when I'll be at home tonight).
Since I don't have windows, I've not been able to test this card and it may be defective ...
Is there some steps required to make this card work ?
Please help ...
