Fglrx problem

circleback · 2007-06-03 08:38:33

I recently installed the fglrx drivers from the Arch repo. I tried using the "aticonfig --initial" command and I get the following crash:

# aticonfig --initial
Uninitialised file found, configuring.

Wow, that's actually pretty bad.

How "recently" did you install it? I uploaded an updated version of the drivers to the repos just last night, so they should be appearing in your mirror shortly if they haven't already - try again with the new version and see if it still does that.

If the problem persists, I'd suggest backing up then trying with a different initial xorg.conf (maybe regenerate it with Xorg -configure)

You might be able to get by without aticonfig. All I had to change in my xorg.conf anyway was 'Driver "fglrx"'.

Try this

aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

aticonfig --resolution=0,1600x1200,1280x1024,1024x768

restart x

@Cerebral

works fine for me, thank's

ok i solved this thanks for the help all. I reinstalled fglrx plus just made a generic xorg file with hwd -xa. Then ran the aticonfig --initial....

Thanks again
