You are using UMS which is no longer supported. Do you still have problems when you use KMS? If you really want to use UMS, you might try xf86-video-ati 6.14.6. Also please attach your dmesg output. I have not re-filed a bug report for KMS though it now got worse than ever before (mere pixel soup on both monitors, no way to start X) except downstreams (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=776569). Should I additionally file on kernel.org or here on freedesktop.org? (dmesg coming soon). Created attachment 65890 [details]

Well; the power switch is the only thing that still works; no crash then ;) - we need to resolve Bug 53873 for getting the keyboard up if we want any interactive debugging. Fortunately it is not the dual screenery that makes Xorg crash. I can boot in single screen mode without xorg.conf and then activate the second screen via xrandr. This is a bit unhandy since I will have to configure KDE for the second screen on every new boot by hand (i.e. plasma panel & icons) but there is a way to get Xorg well up and running! |
