Hi everybody.
I hope that somebody can help me.
I try to run X with the fglrx driver. But X is very unstable with this driver. Sometimes, on startup gdm display a black screen with the mouse cursor, sometimes it display correctly and sometimes it display with hugly pixel noises.
And sometimes again, when it display well the desktop, X hangs when I try to slide application windows.
I want to use fglrx because we need to use Blender for work. 3D acceleration will be very useful with it.
I apologize for my english. I'm not very good.
I thanks for your help.
And happy new year!:)

I found in the Xorg.0.log this error :
(EE) fglrx(0): [FB] Can not get FB MC address range.
(EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized.
(EE) fglrx(0): XMM failed to open CMMQS connection.
Is this can help?

What graphic card?
Do you use framebuffer? Dual displays as two independent screens? How did you configure X? What version of fglrx?
Try disabling the framebuffer in case you use it as a first try, easy to do and won't hurt at all, add 'vga=0' to the grub command line (you can also edit it during startup).

Sorry, I forgot to tell that I have a radeon hd 3850.
I try to do like you said. I modify my menu.lst like this :
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 vga=0 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/f2f97f55-8eec-4850-b376-02a7ae514fa4 ro
Is it correct?
But this modification has no effect, I have the same troubles.
Thank you very much for your help.

Could you post here your xorg.conf. To disable framebuffer, remove vga=0 from the previous line.
Also, which version of xorg and fglrx do you use?

I tried without the vga=0. But it doesn't change anything...

In fact, I saw that the module isn't loaded. I don't know why because the file fglrx.ko is present in the module directory.
I removed the catalyst package and reinstall it but it doesn't change anything...
I don't know what to do...
