Hi guys, I'll try and be as brief as I can.
I'm running a laptop with ATI display graphics and I'm trying to install the driver package: xorg-xf86-video-ati (7.1.0) using the command "tazhw setup ati", with the hope of being able to use an external display.
All seems to go well until the end whereby xterm displays the following:
====================================================================
Do you want to configure X using free ATI (radeon) driver (y/N) ? y
====================================================================
Your previous config is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf
If ATI fails, you can remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/55-DeviceTweaks.conf to restore previous config.
Create 55-DeviceTweaks.conf configured with radeon driver.
cp: can't stat '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf': No such file or directory
sed: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/55-DeviceTweaks.conf: No such file or directory
Checking if ATI radeon is working...
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
====================================================================
After a reboot things initially seemed stable and more display options do become available to me - xrandr now reports both of my monitors correctly (whereas it failed to detect them at all before the installation attempt eventhough both were working), and lxpanel gives me more resolution settings. Both monitors still seemingly work okay at this point (LVDS laptop screen & external VGA monitor)
However when then successfully turning off the LVDS screen (via software) in order to just have the VGA monitor running on its own, the external VGA monitor then becomes really glitchy with brief smudging cloning and artifacts being displayed at random intervals - especally being more prominant when manipulating windows and moving the mouse cursor?
Any ideas what could be going on here?
