Xorg.0.log

after upgrading to ubuntu jaunty fglrx broke and I finally tried out the
open source driver for my hd3470 radeon and it seems just as broken
when gdm loads all I get is a black screen expect for upper 1" or so
that has ether red bits or if I ssh in and restart gdm I get green bits
farther down but still all the way to top of screen

I'm currently running kernel 2.6.30-rc3
fglrx can't compile its kernel module for that version so its clean of
binary stuff
also ended up adding in the ppa thing from ubuntu for 'Xorg on the edge'
which I gather has latest -git of radeon driver

also tried the radeonhd driver and got similiar results...

attached will be xorg log and xorg config
I can provide pictures of the display if required also

Please try removing the fglrx package completely:

(II) RADEON(0): DRIScreenInit for fglrx driver
Comment 3 Bret Towe 2009-04-30 16:38:25 UTC
removing all fglrx related files got it to work

perhaps this bug should be refiled under how xorg.conf doesn't work?
cause to me if I say load radeon driver in xorg.conf I don't think
it should load fglrx at all...

fglrx replaces a bunch of files with it's own versions.  Nothing the config file can do about that.
