[arch-general] xf86-video-ati -- trouble ahead
as per https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56986, there's some trouble with ver. 7.0.0 of this driver. it needs KMS mode now, but according to a couple comments, it doesn't wok with that either. if it doesn't, it took me almost 5 min. to downgrade to the previous version, 6.14.6. -- phani.

oops, that was the upstream bug. here's the arch one: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32600 -- phani.

oops, that was the upstream bug. here's the arch one:
It is working fine here with:
pacman -Q xorg-server xf86-video-ati xorg-server 1.13.0-4 xf86-video-ati 1:7.0.0-1
lspci -nn | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 [1002:94c9]

It is working fine for me also with: lspci -nn | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV370 [Mobility Radeon X300] [1002:5460] lsmod|grep radeon radeon 788284 2 ttm 46763 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 28941 1 radeon drm 180042 4 ttm,drm_kms_helper,radeon i2c_algo_bit 4583 1 radeon i2c_core 16943 4 drm,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,radeon pacman -Q xorg-server xf86-video-ati xorg-server 1.13.0-4 xf86-video-ati 1:7.0.0-1 I use kdm and kde runs fine with today's updates. So I guess this must be specific to the original poster's graphics chipset or particular setup? Some additional information may need to be given on the bug reports including log files if possible I guess. -- mike c
