Hi
I removed the nvidia board and installed my new old HD6570 and booted up but it just drops to a cli login with an error about SP5100-tco (nvidia also displays this message so i've assumed its not important).
It first blew out with an error to say i had to enable a BIOS setting for Virtualisation which I did and it cleared that error.
I've also put "radeon.cik_support=1 radeon.si_support=1" on the kernel parameters via yast but still no joy.
The Radeon software is installed and running according to the logs, i've checked journalctl for Radeon errors but no joy.
What simple thing have I missed as I'm a bit out of my depth here?
regards and thanks
Ian
I found the issue by looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as pointed about by a few people. There was a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d called 20-nouveau thats was loading nouveau and blocking the radeon. i moved it out of there and i'm now up and running.
Thanks for the tips and help, most appreciated.
In general, in Linux, the first step of diagnosing, is to look in some log file. Even me forgot this. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
