Hi. Using 6.12.1 xf86-video-ati on a 1.5.3 xorg-server. When Xorg starts, the screen becomes dark. Moreover it is still dark after a VT switch, although the system is alive (ssh works). Trying to switch the backlight using keyboard is'nt working. Then i connected another screen on the VGA-0 output, without sucess: the two screens remain black (even with Enable set to true in corresponding Monitor sections).
Created attachment 27762 [details] xorg.conf without RX400ATOM enabled
Created attachment 27763 [details] Xorg.log of xorg.conf without R4XXATOM
Created attachment 27764 [details] xorg.conf with RX400ATOM enabled
Created attachment 27765 [details] Xorg.log of xorg.conf with R4XXATOM
Corrected target version 7.1 -> 7.2.
this is probably a dupe of bug 22755. Do the patches there help?
No, same behaviour: the screens goes black and force me to reboot. By the way, the kernel is the 2.6.29.
Did this used to work with an older version of the driver? If so which one?
I was running on fglrx so far. Anyway, one year ago, when giving a shot to the xorg driver, I experimented the same error. In the Xorg.log, I can see the LVDS is disabled ("Output LCD1 disable success") after calling RADEONScreenInit, and is never enabled again.
Created attachment 27770 [details] Xorg.log with verbose mode Running with video-ati from git trunk + verbose enabled, I noticed that RadeonScreenInit doesn't seems to complete. radeon.c:3544 xf86DrvMsgVerb(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_INFO, RADEON_LOGLEVEL_DEBUG, "Initializing fb layer\n"); is never printed in the Xorg.0.log.
All log files have (II) RADEON(0): DRIScreenInit for fglrx driver so some X server components are still left from fglrx. You'll have to get rid of those to be able to use other drivers.
Ouch ! Do you have an idea of the identity of theses components ? I am lost. I use Xorg OpenGl. fglrx kernel module isn't loaded. Currently, I am recompiling xorg-server with only ati & vesa video card drivers to be sure.
You rock ! Recompiling did the trick (shame on me). Thank you very much Alex & Michel :)
