You know...
My video card is Radeon X1600 Pro.
Just yesterday, I update the Arch and kernel.
After I reboot PC, I found the screen is flash per some seconds.
I look up the Arch wiki, and follow the step: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
I add "radeon.modeset=0" to "/boot/grub/menu.lst", and run the command "mkinitcpio -p kernel26".
I reboot PC again, oh man, the Arch tip: the Xorg boot is wrong.
So can't enter Gnome.
Who can tell me why? I'm waitting for your help.

Have you tried the other troubleshooting suggestions on the ATI page?

Apart from modeset=0, there is also nomodeset.
Some more information would also be helpful: are you loading the radeon module? Do you have an xorg.conf? Are there any errors in your logs etc...

Arch wiki tell me:
"If radeon was added to the MODULES array in mkinitcpio.conf to enable early start, remove it."
"Renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which may include options that conflict with KMS, will force Xorg to autodetect hardware with sane defaults. After renaming, restart Xorg."
So I don't loading the radeon modules in "mkinitcpio.conf", and have rename "xorg.conf".

So what video driver are you using?

So your card is supported and you have the correct driver: you should be fine (providing your driver is up-to-date).
Start again from scratch. Follow the early start method https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … _KMS_start and post any errors if it doesn't work.

======================================
Arch wiki:
Enabling KMS
Since kernel26 v.2.6.33, KMS is enabled by default for ATI cards.
======================================
And I try "Early KMS start", screen still flash. My God!!!

Is that your idea of reporting an error? Seriously, if you want help, you are going to have to make a little bit of an effort yourself...

Xorg.0.log don't have any wrong report.
I can boot Xorg and enter Gnome.
Just screen flash per five seconds.
