fglrx black screen on startx

Hi,

I installed archlinux on my mid-2010 21,5' iMac (with an ATI Radeon HD4670 inside) without any problems.
Then I installed xorg from the xorg112 repo, and I installed catalyst-hd234k from AUR.

Now when I try to launch X using startx, the screen stay black and nothing happend. I'm then forced to reboot.

Here is my xorg.conf :

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
	Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Driver	    "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
	Option	    "OpenGLOverlay" "0"
	Option      "XAANNoOffscreenPixmaps" "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes     "800x600" "1920x1080"
		Virtual   1920 1080
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
	Mode 0666
EndSection

And here is my Xorg.0.log :

Re: fglrx black screen on startx

Have you tried installing catalyst-total-hd234k?  The catalyst-total packages are IMO the least problematic.

Re: fglrx black screen on startx

I have a Radeon HD4870 (identical to your card for most purposes besides performance).  The reason for my move to Arch was Ubuntu's decision to shoot anyone who doesn't use the latest cards, so here is how I get it running on Arch:

yaourt -Qs '(catalyst|radeon|hd234)'

catalyst-hd234k/catalyst-hook 13.1-14
    AMD/ATI legacy drivers. Auto re-compile fglrx module while shutdown/reboot. Now with Angela - The Slayer Of The Daemons ;P
catalyst-hd234k/catalyst-utils 13.1-2
    AMD/ATI Catalyst legacy drivers utilities and libraries with OpenCL implementation
catalyst-hd234k/lib32-catalyst-utils 13.1-2 (lib32)
    AMD/ATI catalyst legacy driver utilities and libraries. (32-bit)
catalyst-hd234k/xvba-video 0.7.8-4
    AMDs XvBA backend for VA-API, hardware video acceleration on RadeonHD cards

Dual 1200/1080 monitors, fullscreen video works, counterstrike works, starcraft 2 works astonishingly smoothly.
Are there any config files I could send you to help out?  Btw, I didn't bother with nomodeset.

Re: fglrx black screen on startx

Right, so try removing all catalyst related packages you have and only install catalyst-total-hd234k, and just to be safe, run aticonfig --initial after getting that.  I've had an annoying experience with trying to get catalyst drivers to work without the "total" packages, so I'm sure you're better off using it.

I would suggest trying nomodset, as well as load the modules:

Re: fglrx black screen on startx

Ah yeah, remove "/etc/X11/xorg.conf", then "aticonfig --initial".  I followed this with "aticonfig --initial=dual-head" since I have two monitors.  The combination of packages and kernel version that I listed above work flawlessly for me, even for graphics-intensive WINE programs.
