radeon X700pro + fglrx

[weigi]

hi,

is anyone out there hwo has some experiences with such a setup?
i currently use the "radeon" - driver but it doesn't support acceleration for my card. so i tried out xorg-driver-fglrx from the repository and just replaced "radeon" by "fglrx"

the result is that the display flickers, one fan (i don't know which - i only know it's not the processor's one) sounds like a turbine, i still have no opengl support and composite isn't faster (still uses cpu) and i can't switch to another terminal (ctrl+alt+F1), as the display gets black and even doesn't come back using (ctrl+alt+F7 or ctrl+alt+backspace).

thanks a lot for your help


p.s.: i tried also the one from ati.com - same thing
p.s.s.: my setup
Athlon64 3000+

Try this:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo aticonfig --initial

Then restart.

Re: radeon X700pro + fglrx

I have a M X700, and yes it works for me (xorg-driver-fglrx).
I have never used 'radeon' driver, and have never experienced your situation. I just installed fglrx and did the aticonfig to get direct rendering (I suppose it is what you want, if not then ignore my posts ).
