0x796E:0x1458:0xD000: Gigabyte MA74GM-S2H
The X-server included in openSUSE 11.2 milestone 5 does not start on my Gigabyte MA74Gm-S2H mainboard. When starting X, the monitor enters sleep/standby mode. I disabled KMS by using radeon.modeset=0 as a kernel argument, without that the default kernel does not even boot. The old openSUSE 11.0 works fine. For comparison, I also include the X.log for 11.0 -Markus

do you want to try a "sleep 3" in line 129 in /etc/init.d/xdm (right after "start)" ) ? it may be the hal issue you are running into ...

OpenSUSE 11.2 milestone 5 is using an unstable version of the radeonhd driver, and a rather old one (May 4th! commit 4be5f715) Either stick with a stable release, or get your hands dirty and try the latest cvs. If there are still problems, then post again.

Thanks for pointing that out. I tried the "master branch" from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/snapshot/xf86-vi... Is this the latest driver available? Result: X is still not working, but the error message in the X.0.log is different...(see attached X.log) -Markus

cat Xorg.0.log | grep fglrx (II) Loading sub module "fglrxdrm" (II) LoadModule: "fglrxdrm" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/linux//libfglrxdrm.so (II) Module fglrxdrm: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc." (II) RADEONHD(0): DRIScreenInit for fglrx driver Well start with removing all traces of the fglrx driver from your computer. The latest driver available (not stable perhaps) would be from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd You would need to have the git tool installed to retrieve this, and use the git pull command.

It works! ...using the version (II) RADEONHD: version 1.2.5, built from git branch master, commit 865215c8 + changes There are still some error messages in the X.log, but the new driver seems to be stable. Thanks a lot! -markus
