[arch-general] ati mobility radeon x2300
I have an hp laptop with a m64-s. I can't get X output. I've tried catalyst proprietary but I found out that my gpu isn't supported since long time ago. so I try to setup with opensource drivers. also if i don't "nomodeset" on boot, the pc is hungs on boot. when i startx with the radeon mod loaded I get: Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. and then no screens found
Any log messages? Are you using a CRT? Does X start, if you use the vesa driver? Regards, Ralf

At the moment I don't use Arch, but I've got a borked install with a xorg.conf that did work for another ATI graphics: Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "dri2" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "GLcore" #Load "v4l" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Plug 'n' Play" ModelName "Plug 'n' Play" DisplaySize 305 230 HorizSync 29-98 VertRefresh 50-120 modeline "1152x864" 128.42 1152 1232 1360 1568 864 865 868 910 Gamma 1.0 EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "HWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>] #Option "VideoKey" # <i> #Option "MergedFB" "off" #old debian/ubuntu Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" #Driver "nvidia" #Driver "nv" #Driver "nouveau" #Driver "vesa" #VendorName "nVidia Corporation" #BoardName "G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS]" #BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" Defaultdepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" #Virtual 3840 1200 EndSubSection # SubSection "Display" # Viewport 0 0 # Depth 1 # EndSubSection # SubSection "Display" # Viewport 0 0 # Depth 4 # EndSubSection # SubSection "Display" # Viewport 0 0 # Depth 8 # EndSubSection # SubSection "Display" # Viewport 0 0 # Depth 15 # EndSubSection # SubSection "Display" # Viewport 0 0 # Depth 16 # EndSubSection # SubSection "Display" # Viewport 0 0 # Depth 24 # EndSubSection EndSection Today on other Linux I use this one: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" DisplaySize 305 230 HorizSync 29-98 VertRefresh 50-120 modeline "1152x864" 128.42 1152 1232 1360 1568 864 865 868 910 Gamma 1.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection Hth, Ralf

This sounds like you still have the generated config from catalyst driver in /etc/X11. That xorg.conf disturbs the autoconfiguration of X. If you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, delete it. X should work after that, most of the time autodetection does its job like a charm. Greetings, Christoph

Not for CRTs. I even need a modeline to get good frequencies at a wanted resolution, the lines for the frequencies and the resolution alone do not work. This might be nonsense by theory, but in practise it simply is like that. Merry Christmas! Ralf
