FGLRX and ATI

Tue Feb 14 13:20:25 UTC 2006

Howard,

I do not know if it could be at any help for you, but I have compared
your xorg.conf file with mine, and herewith I show you (only) the
differences:(Mine Graphics card is an ATI RV350 AR with a Targa
Visionary LCD 17-4 connected to).  

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Files"
	FontPath	"/usr/share/X11/fonts/CID"
        # paths to defoma fonts
	FontPath	"/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load	"GLcore"
	Load	"i2c"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 9600 XT (RV350 AR)"
	Driver		"ati"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Generic Monitor"
	Option		"DPMS"
	HorizSync	28-64
	VertRefresh	43-60
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 9600 XT (RV350 AR)"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		1
		Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
EndSection
=====================================================================

I hope this could be of any help.

Greetings Harry,
