I replaced an ATI Radeon 9550 with a Radeon X1300/X1550, in hopes of better performance.
My System: P4@3GHz, 1.5Gb RAM, Fedora 12, kernel 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.
Faults: Screen refresh is extremely low. Glxgears outputs 25 FPS. Dragging windows around is sometimes really slow.
What I did so far, in hope of fixing it:
1. Installed 'system-config-display', for providing an xorg.conf
2. Did: yum --enablerepo=rawhide update mesa-dri-drivers-experimental mesa*, fixing this, but to no avail...
I cannot find any errors in the log...I don't know what to do...
I am posting my Xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log and Glxinfo through links to pastebin.com
POST UPDATE:
When running GlxGears, I get a bit of motion, and then the gears freeze for 1 second. And this goes on and on. But...if I move the mouse around, I get 1100FPS!
Now I messed a bit with xorg.conf and the "SWCursor" Option, but the above happens when this option is on "true". On "false" there is no 1100FPS, only the freezing loop...

I been searching for months on how to get the s-video to work on my pci VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] card. I found a site with instructions.
This is how I got it to work.
I install Debian 5.0 Lenny Desktop
added the Driver "radeon" to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
This work and I was able to use my tv as a monitor however when I try to play a video file from totem or vlc all I could get was audio with no video; These files work and played fine in the CRT monitor.

From looking at beaucoup posts, it appears I'm SOL trying to use the Linux drivers provided by AMD (See url.terminal command line "sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run". Since I keep getting an error message saying the file can't be opened either as root or using sudo I guess there's no reason to continue.Anyway, I have my PC displaying on a CRT thru a s-video connection. The screen is overscanned, that is, part of both the left and right sides are not visible. That is why I wanted to load the Radeon drivers & Catalyst Control Center so I could shrink the screen width.Question: Should I keep trying to open the ATI file? SHould I install the Open Source ATI driver? Should I give up and try to find a nVidia AGP 8X card?

Code:
# dmesg | grep nvidia
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
I searched around and found out the kernel accepts only GPL modules, which is pretty dumb. People recommended using rpmfusion's akmods, but that's what I'm using to begin with.
How can I fix this without having to recompile the kernel?
Code:
# uname -r
2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64

I am having the same problem, as soon as X tries to load my screen just goes blank. I have an ATI Radeon 9550. At first I tried switching between VGA and DVI as well but upon ruling that out, I switch to my on-board video card and that is working thus far, but I'm trying very hard to figure out a way to be able to switch back. Anyways I'll check back in later on if I have any new information I will post.

After dist-upgrade a few days ago, X refuses to kick in.
Xorg.0.log reads
Code:
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. lshw reads that Xpress 200M is claimed by radeonfb driver.
At this moment, no fglrx packages are installed.
System is Toshiba laptop.
I do not think ATI dropped support, however, even without fglrx, nothing works.

I recently got a new dell studio 1558 with radeon hd 5470 video card. So far have had lot of small problems and such but been able to fix the via google and a lil luck but now I'm stumped with this one and decided to try and turn here for some possible help. Now on to the details.
Distro - Debian lenny with 2.6.33.3 custom kernel propriatory lgrfx 10.4 drivers installed direct from ati (installed no problem)after compiling the kernel and installing the drivers from ATI my card IS recognized and X will boot up with the proper resolution, but that's where all the problems start. I can no longer switch to virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-F1,F2,F3,F4 etc) and graphics performance in X is extremely poor due to the fact that 3D fails to initialize, and catalyst control fails to load (it tries to but then just disappears)

Yesterday I updated my F15 x86_64 system from kernel 2.6.38.6-27 to 2.6.38.8-35. After the reboot, my triple-head system complained of not having enough CRTCs and only 2 screens worked. Other components were also updated, including some X11 components, however selecting a fallback kernel at the grub prompt indicates this follows the kernel (fall back to old kernel has all 3 monitors working). xrandr --verbose on the 2.6.38.6-27 kernel shows each of the 3 monitors assigned to separate CRTC entries, with CRTCs 0 thru 5 available.
Same command on the new 2.6.38.8-35 system only shows CRTCs 0 & 1 available. My system using an XFX Radeon HD5450 card, with 3 interfaces: HDMI, DVI, VGA. The default Fedora open source "radeon" driver allows all 3 interfaces to be usable. However, with the new kernel, the loss of several CRTCs prevents the 3rd monitor from working.What are the thoughts from the community? I've searched various forums here and haven't seen similar symptoms reported. I'm looking for any direction/experience/thingsToTry from others before trying to open a bug report. (Attempts to use the Catalyst driver several months ago resulted in only 2 of the 3 connected monitors working.

When I load the radeon module, from initscripts, the commandline, or when Xorg loads it, it makes all my consoles go blank. They are still active I can type into them then cat /dev/vcs* from X, and I see what I typed. I am using vga16fb as my framebuffer console driver, and am on PowerPC so I don't think I can use plain VGA consoles.
this is my /etc/modprobe.d/video.conf
Code:
install radeon /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install radeon modeset=1 tv=0
lspci | grep -i radeon
Code:
0000:04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 0x3e50 [Radeon X600]

Currently booting off a disc and I'm unable to connect to our home network. Do I need to update drivers for this particular card? The netbook I'm using is a 'Kogan' with an Atom N270 1.6Ghz processor.

I used the Assistive Technologies on screen keyboard because hotplug was not working and I could only use my bluetooth mouse. Now, even after disabling Assistive Technologies, the icon still appears in the apps toolbar, next to my network connection status icon and battery status icon, also next to the clock and date.

This is just to report that I've got 3D support successfully enabled on my Mobility Radeon HD3200 chip with the open source driver on openSUSE 11.2. I did this to replace the proprietary fglrx driver that has already been installed for quite some time on my system.
Uninstalled fglrx, and here we go... Basically what I did was to get the latest X.Org server (1.8) and Mesa from Index of /repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.2 I changed all the corresponding system packages to the versions in that repository. I noticed that I cannot get any 3D support when pairing the last X server with the updated openSUSE 11.2 kernel (2.6.31.12_0.2). With RadeonHD driver it gives me no acceleration at all (No DRI), perhaps it is still intentionally disabled to prevent lockups in r600 cards. With Radeon KDE wouldn't start.
So to get usable driver support I have to update the stock kernel to the one in Index of /repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2 I installed the 2.6.34-rc5-22 kernel and reboot. Immediately I notice that KMS is working, but I could not get DRI to work, presumably caused by the drm being unable to locate two related firmware files (it is there in the kernel, just doesn't know why it is not being loaded). Other than that I do not know why I can't get any acceleration with KMS on. To workaround I passed the 'nomodeset' parameter to the kernel to run in UMS mode instead, and voila! with UMS 2D + 3D accelerations are working. I can enable kwin effects just fine.
Since this is a laptop I need suspend & resume and power management working. Good news is s2ram works perfectly with extra parameter. And all the new Radeon power management options: DynamicPM, ClockGating and ForceLowPowerMode can be enabled just fine! (For UMS you need to generate a xorg.conf and put those options in)Performance is good. So far it's faster than fglrx in some areas and slower in some other area. Now this is truly amazing!

I have a ADS Technologies, Inc. DVD Xpress B see here and here. The product is disconitnued and followed by the DX2. Both devices have identical specs and everything. So I was hoping I could get ubuntu to work with it. So I tried using this driver.
It doesn't work so far. I tried changing the device usb info in the source so it includes this older device, but it doesn't work.

There is a nice server that I want to install Redhat 5, update 5 on. I downloaded, from Oracle edelivery, the Linux 64 bit, Redhat 5, Update 5, and wrote it to bootable CD.
"V20658-01.zip","611558646","0C35737CD35BC26C212D205DF064CE2A","D0C7EF7CFF9635FECFDDB6BB724B1523851C1733","O racle Linux Release 5 Update 5 for x86_64 (64 Bit) - CD 1 of 6" and the other 6 CDs. However, when I went to test the install, I saw the messages:
Probing for video card: ATI Technologies ES1000
Failed to start X server.
Attempting to start VESA X. Failed.
[code]....
This is very odd, for a few reasons:
- the card is a few years old, and the distribution is new.
- Windows finds the correct information for this card, that it is an Nvidea card.
- A different simpler card gave the same error message (NVidea GEForce 6800)

I have dualhead configuration - ATI Radeon 7000 with 2 attached VGA monitors.But by booting is one of them switched off:- without kernel param. - nomodeset (added to GRUB), the monitor is switched off just before X start- with nomodeset - is switchet off by X start.In X: xrandr reports only 1 attached monitor (second port is reported as "disconnected") - the same info is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.I have also try to use my elsewhere working predefined configuration in xorg.conf, but also without effect. The second monitor stays off :On every other OS I have ever tried: Ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04, Mandriva 2008/2009.1, Knoppix, SuSE 10.3/11.1, Windows XP, ....I had not this problem.Also - what is wrong in Fedora ? Why do switch the monitor off ? Why reports, that the monitor is disconnected - when it is not true ?

Using Ubuntu 9.10 I installed Ubuntu onto a second hard drive and everything seems to work fine except for the fact that I cannot install the driver (it says not supported or something) when I downloaded it from the website. I downloaded the driver made for Linux. The driver manager claims "no proprietary drivers." At the moment it shows to be using integrated graphics, but I need the full hardware graphics to play games. The open source alternate driver didn't work either.

We have a Dell 1850 with Debian with 2.4.18 kernel running some critical applications, now the issue is we need to upgrade the memory to 8 GB but the memory is detected by the bios itself, Operating system is not able to detect it, it is showing 3096MB of memory,
After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e
1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,
2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel
Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

I have been using Debian for a few weeks now (love it, besides it being a little bulky). and have everything going besides wireless and my graphics card, the former being less important to me. I haven't had any problems running Debian without a graphics card, but I know I will need it to play games, configure a 3d desktop if I choose, etc...

I'd installed Puppy and was very happy with the performance on my laptop, but I decided to switch to Debian because of the ap-get feature. I decided to go with JWM instead of one of the default desktop environments, but now I'm having to configure everything manually, and I'm pretty lost. So far, I've got X and JWM installed (though no graphical login, and have to startx manually).
Priority one is to update the video driver and get the best performance possible. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500. I know the fglrx driver doesn't work with this card, but I don't know which package to install. When I type "apt-get install radeon", it spits out "E: Couldn't find package radeon"

redrawing windows in KDE is very, very sow (since 4.4 or so I guess, but maybe it was always like this). When I switch to a desktop running Kopete and Amarok, it takes like 2-3 seconds to redraw the applications. GTK apps are faster to redraw, although far from ideal. This happens both with the effects enabled as well as disabled. When the effects are enabled, it's faster, but still very slow.
When switching apps or desktops in Gnome with Compiz running, it's almost instantaneous... I don't think it's because of any particular effect like Blur, because I've disabled them all, though the compositing is up (e.g. the bar is transparent, but all other effects are off in KWin). On the other hand I have plenty of effects enabled in Compiz and it's still ways much faster.
I have ATI Radeon X1200 integrated card, using the radeon driver 1.6.13.2 (I'm not sure whether is it from experimental or Sid, but I don't think it matters, since the older versions were slow the same) without any particular configuration from my side (i.e. no xorg.conf).On my other computer with either quite powerful NVidia card or an Intel card the performance is the same in KWin and Compiz...

I just built myself a new 64bit computer, but I'm having a little trouble getting it going. At first I put windows 7 on it, but it requires 1gb of RAM just to run it's basic programs, and it's all bogged down with all these useless programs, and when I tried to turn off some programs to make it faster, half my stuff stopped working all together, because they required all these programs just to run other programs, it's just absolutely ridiculous.
So I looked into Linux, and after asking around a bit, I installed Debian. It's exactly what I want in an operating system, completely customizable, but I guess I've been spoiled by microsoft and I'm not that good with all the command lines and configuring the kernel.
Righty now I'm trying to get my video card going, but I can't even figure out how to get the drivers installed. I went to amd.com and got the drivers, but when I try to just put them in the bin, but it keeps telling me I don't have administrator priveleges, but I do. Then I tried following this manual wiki.debian.org/Manual-Howto#Atibinarydriver]Manual-Howto - Debian Wiki , but I got stuck at the part where it tells me to copy and edit my xorg.config. When I go to copy, it tells me the directory doesn't exist, but it does. And when I go to edit the xorg.config, it tells me I don't have priveleges again.
So is there any easy way to get my video card installed, or do I really have to create this new kernel and go through this whole long process? My motherboard has hybrid crossfire technology, am I able to use that with debian?
Here is what I have in my comp, in case the info is needed.
Debian Release 5.0.4 (lenny) Kernel Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 GNOME 2.22.3
MSI KA780G mothboard
2x1gb ddr2 pc2-5300
