I have a Sapphire HD 7870. lspci identifies this card as: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Tahiti LE [Radeon HD 7870 XT] I am using Arch linux as my distro. I have never been able to get the open source radeon driver to work with this card. After boot I am presented with a black screen, and after a few seconds my monitor turns off. A few seconds later I can hear the fans on the video card speed up a little bit. If I use the sysrequest function to SIGTERM all processes, I am then presented with the lightdm login screen and X seems to work, but the Xorg log says that acceleration is disabled. This black screen happens with 10.6.5-1 and with mesa compiled from git (11.1.0_devel.72584.bd6e516-1-x86_64). This card does work with catalyst driver. I am attaching a dmesg log and Xorg.0.log.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
