Hi Curtis, The notebook uses Intel 855PM chipset. I've already tried makimg sure that fglrx module is loaded before SAX2 is executed - to no avail. Because of the following warning in the XFree86 logs mtrr: 0xd0000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0xd0000000,0x4000000 I've executed # echo "disable=2" >/proc/mtrr # echo "base=0xd8000000 size=0x8000000 type=write-combining" >/proc/mtrr and then, as you suggested, # lsmod | grep fglrx # modprobe -v fglrx insmod /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.95-default/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko # lsmod | grep fglrx fglrx 200356 0 then #sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/fglrx still fails and the screen shows those psychedelic colors before I kill X server. I've tried editing my current XF86Config file to force it to load the fglrx driver (see attached file), however that did not help either - the same garbage on the screen is shown after "init 5" and then I kill the Xserver. However, as the attached XFree86 log shows, the drivers appears to have been loaded sucessfully, DRI got initialized, etc .. Regards, Vadym Curtis Rey wrote:

Hi,
I've installed Suse 9.1 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 (with ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 PRO Turbo card and 1920x1200 laptop display panel). Sax2 wouldn't recognize the 1900x1200 panel, so I googled a bit and managed to put together an XF86Config file (attached) that works quite well using the unaccelerated "radeon" driver.
Then I decided to install the latest version of the ATI 3.9.0 driver available from Suse's ftp site following instructions in the README. Driver installs successfully, however when I run "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl", the screen goes blank, then parts of the screen go white, then green, :-) , at which moment I usually kill Sax with Ctrl-Shift-Backspace, and it exists generating the attached log file. The log says a) "DRI initialization failed"; and b) there are lots of unresolved symbols. I've already fixed error messages about MTRR overlaps using instructions from http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html#4_mtrroverlap.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
These are the relevant (I think) package versions:
fglrx-3.9.0-2.1 km_fglrx-3.9.0-2.1 kernel-source-2.6.5-7.95 kernel-default-2.6.5-7.95
#lsmod | grep fglrx
If not present
#modprobe fglrx
then
#sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/fglrx
Buy the way what chipset does that run? Via, NForce/2, SiS? (it matters)
Cheers, Curtis.
Regards, Vadym
