Hi,
I also tried the new radeonhd opensource driver with the same results - a full system crash.
Did you verify that the fglrx kernel module isn't loaded? This is a typical source of system crashes. Make sure that 'rpm -qa | grep fglrx' doesn't show anything, and uninstall if it is. Unfortunately, the kernel module is probably still loaded, and unloading isn't exactly enough, you probably have to reboot after removing the rpms.
I deinstalled the fglrx but it is still loaded i think. "rpm -qa | grep fglrx" show nothing, but "lsmod | grep fglrx" gives me "fglrx 1955072 0" and although i removed that with "rmmod fglrx" it is still there after every reboot :-( Concerning the radeonhd driver i downloaded the source and recompiled it, cause my friend (a collegue of yours: JD) told me, that perhaps i need to do that, because of a kernal update or something like that!? So, i got the sources and compiled a new radeonhd_drv.so, but that gives me the following errors after restart: (EE) module ABI major version (2) dorsn't match the server's version (1) (EE) Failed to load module "radeonhd" (module requirement mismatch, 0) (EE) No drivers available. In another forum i found the workaround to place the following line to xorg.conf: -> Option "IgnoreABI" "on" With that line, the Gui starts, but switching to a console i only find a cryptografic screen and that doesn't seem to be as a wished result. Also the GUI only works with the "normal" resolution of 1200x1024 and not my max. choosen one with 1920x1200 :-( Perhaps you can provide me any more tipps on getting the radeonhd to work without any workarounds and to work properly? Would be very thankful as i tried that now for about 3 days and nothing worked, but as i said, i'm a newby on Linux. So i guess everything takes more time for me :-) Regards, Marcus -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
