First post so let me give you some background. This is a Sager laptop with ATI 9700 Mobility RV350 M11 chipset, under Linux FC6 it is identified as 9600 Mobility RV350 M10, close enough.
Way back during the FC4 days I was able to use the proprietary drivers from either LIVNA or ATI and they worked fine, but something changed along the way and I don't know what. But to make a long story short, I can no longer use the LIVNA/ATI drivers. Here is the error I receive when using ATI/LIVNA:
(EE) fglrx(0): PreInitDAL failed
(EE) fglrx(0): PreInit failed
(II) fglrx(0): === [atiddxPreInit] === end
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80e53b1]
1: [0xf6e420]
2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so(atiddxDriverEntPriv+0x29) [0x111ff39]
3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so(atiddxFreeScreen+0x33) [0x1125f23]
4: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86DeleteScreen+0x6e) [0x80bc82e]
5: /usr/bin/Xorg(InitOutput+0xa17) [0x80a1d07]
6: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x276) [0x806f856]
7: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc) [0x1a0f2c]
8: /usr/bin/Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x1e9) [0x806eda1]
This is the only error noted in the Xorg.0.log and it causes the x-server to crash and it can't be restarted. However the "readeon" drivers supplied with FC6 work fine, just no 3-D
Any help to how to fix fix this??? It would be appreciated
Thanks....
