I have a strange problem with my new XFree installation. The computer here has a Sapphire Radeon 9600 card with VGA and DVI, and I got X up and running ok using the "radeon" driver (sax2 configured, with Suse 9.0, XFree 4.3.0.1). The monitor is an LCD, so I changed the cable from VGA to a DVI cable. This was no problem on the console and for the "other OS", but for X. startx and Sax2 now both end up with a monitor showing "No Signal Found" and I have to use crtl-alt-backspace to end this. The X logfile shows no error. The only way to get a working X with the DVI cable is by using the vesa driver instead of radeon in XF86Config: [...] Section "Device" BoardName "RV350 AP" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "vesa" # Driver "radeon" #doesnt work anymore Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection [...] Has anybody some XF86Config options to try? Or any hint why this is happening and how to change it? Changing the cable back to VGA is not an option. And since I'm using the x86_64 version, I probably cannot use the fglrx driver.

Similar problem here. But it only happens about 1 time out of 5. Restarting X does not help but a reboot mostly does. Same behaviour on Suse ia32 as well as Suse x86_64, same machine (FuSie Scaleo 600 connected to a NEC LCD) BTW. does anybody know when there will be accelrated drivers from Ati for the x86_64 arch. ?
