[Juanito]

The agpgart module is not loaded, so you would need to load that before attempting to load fglrx

[manit123]

how to do that ? any tcz  i have to install ?

[tinypoodle]

See Xorg server .info.

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i graphics-KERNEL
$ sudo modprobe agpgart
$ sudo modprobe fglrx

[manit123]

after installing graphics-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz , the HDMI & CRT monitor (both attached to graphic card) turned off .
AFter killing xserver (ctrl+alt+backspace) & restarting (startx) . I installed driver successfully (see fglrx-install.log).

i thought of restarting X server but killing ' /usr/local/bin/Xorg -nolisten tcp' leaves me with a black screen & cursor blinking at top right , hard reboot seems to only work.

You can try if SysRq still works.

What about blacklisting the radeon driver and see what happens then.

Also, please consider changing the topic, as this is specific to the flgrx proprietary driver, but not at all to HDMI.

[manit123]

'failed in wait for x' after fglrx , agpgart module has been loaded

[Juanito]

Try "Xorg -nolisten tcp" instead of "startx" to troubleshoot

Xorg is looking for a driver named /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so, not to be confused with the kernel module fglrx.ko

Maybe you need the ati Xorg driver and the fglrx kernel module?

[manit123]

i got driver from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86
I will try to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
Then get back.

[Rich]

Hi manit123
Did you try using the ATI packages from the repo?
ati-catalyst.tcz
ati-fglrx-kernel-source.tcz
ati-fglrx.tcz

[manit123]

Not yet.
Will do.
BTW ,

$sudo aticonfig --lsa

Hi manit123
Be sure to read the info file for  ati-fglrx.tcz

#after I create a link in /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/extension to  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/flgrx_drv.so

usr/local/lib/X11/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so  is provided by  ati-fglrx.tcz
