Hi all! I'm having trouble installing xorg on a Gateway Netbook which has a fusion AMD processor model "C-50". It has micro+graphics in one chip. I've googled that many people succeded with catalyst drivers, though I haven't been that lucky. I added the [catalyst] repo mentioned at the arch wiki, installed all xorg, xorg-utils, catalyst, catalyst-utils, etc. but I can't start x When running startx, nothing happens. It shows the prompt again. fglrxinfo returns "unable to open display (null)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log is empty , however, the same file with .old is at http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/433086 If helps, /etc/X11/xorg.conf is at http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/433085 Removing it makes no change. Well, any clue will be appreciated. Regards, Nicolás

Make sure you disable kms. Add 'nokms' kernel boot line

Oh sorry I did mean nomodeset. No wonder nokms looked like it was way too short. Also I assume you have loaded the fglrx module. Try to run just bare 'Xorg > ./x.log' so you get atleast somekind of an output saved for inspection.

First of all, Thanks for so much reply! nomodeset was already in menu.lst wat wasn't there is fglrx in modules array @t rc.conf , but on other desktop machine it isn't necessary. The wiki page doesn't ask for it when using the repo [catalyst] Either way I'll try adding it and I'll tell you guys later how it worked out. (I don't have the netbook now) I'll also post another pastebin with the log output suggested. 2011/7/10 jesse jaara :

Adding fglrx to modules array didn't make a change. Running Xorg makes no visible output , so x.log is an empty file, even running it as super user.

I'm lost again...

O_o Does dmesg have something it it about fglrx -- (\_ /) copy the bunny to your profile (0.o ) to help him achieve world domination. (> <) come join the dark side. /_|_\ (we have cookies.)

Appearently there's something broken with pacman. I get these output for every pacman action: http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/433120 When trying to reinstall libdmx, "Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded" is out, so I think I should maybe reinstall Arch bases system, am I right? Thanks
