So in /etc/X11/xorg.conf replaced "ati" with "radeon" Same result: StartX The radeon driver loads in all its glory. Then kms reports modesetting is not supported. Based on that, somewhere ( Where? ) a decision is made to unload the radeon driver. Since /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not have a backup driver X exits. I just eliminated ati-7 as the source of the problem.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
