Hi all. I need help with configuring X. My mobo is an Asus M3A78-EM that has an onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200 GPU. I followed the configuration of X but I am getting an error message that says that there are no screens. I looked at the /generated etc/X11/xorg.conf and there is a screen section there that correspond to the GPU section so I'm thinking it might be a driver problem. I tried installing both the ati and ati hd drivers but both would still give me the same error message. Trying vesa would just give me a mouse icon in the middle of the screen and lock the screen up. I would have no choice but to do a reboot by pressing the power button. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same mobo and I've been able to make kde 4.2 work using hwd and aticonfig --initial on Arch64.
I get a similar lockup if i run X once then kill it and try to run it again I get a black powered on screen and a frozen system.
What's the DE you're trying to run and what did you use for config generation, Xorg --configure seems broken for me.

Its a fresh install of arch64. I just installed X server and trying to make it work before installing a DE. Which driver did you use for the internal ATI Radeon HD 3200 GPU?

Did you try it without a xorg.conf ?
If not give it a try, just rename xorg.conf, and if it works you can build up from there.

Archlinux requires more DIY :-)
