Having the same problem with Radeon HD 2400 and 6870
Need some help getting ATI Radeon HD2400xt, ATI Radeon HD6870 drivers working
with OpenGL support.
This is what i have tried so far with no luck
1 - Activated driver from slitaz ATI Radeon
2 - tested this: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:xorg-xvesa#ati-cards
plus a bunch other suggestions out there, even converted debian i386 flgrs drivers
with no luck
and tested to download and install AMD.com drivers for linux with no luck.
Guys and Girls i really would love some help here, im stuck without a working
graphics driver except defaul without OpenGL support....
Let me put the question like this, has anyone got the ATI Drivers working either
on 3.0 or 4.0 slitaz with OpenGL working?
Sincerally

Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 vga=791 might be my problem?
I had to set vga=791 to be able to see anything on screen or else my screen just go black.
hmm ive added in x11 config to use radeonhd correct resolutions are being showed and seem to work except
tux@slitaz:~$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
software renderer? there
tux@slitaz:~$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
is my problem, how do i fix that??
OpenGL is set to software renderer....
laggy when viewing homepages
can i force it to use radeonhd OpenGL mode and not sofware renderer or what its called?

Do you have firmware-radeon installed?
Paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log at paste.slitaz.org
Post the link in your reply.

will do as soon as i reinstalled in a couple of minuts
and thanx for helping mojo really apriciated
ok lets start this from the begining.
i have to add vga=791 for the screen not to go black (turn of iguess)
probebly couse it cant handle resolution or refreshrate or something
is there any file i can manually alter so i dont have to add vga=791
for example max resolution to use in my case that would be 1280x800 (its a laptop)
refresh rate (60hz) ? i really dont know why screen works when adding vga command
and not when not using the vga command.
Have a feeling adding the vga=791 command might override the radeon driver
ok this is some info i have pasted:
http://paste.slitaz.org/3y
However, screen doesnt show up at all, when slim is suppose to come up its blank but i can see a hint
of blue dots in tha background
//Martin
I boot my desktop with ATI R5450 with vga=791
The only difference is framebuffer with 2 tux logos on top.
tux@slitaz:~$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR
vga=791 does not disable direct hardware rendering on my hardware.

hmm ok great, when you install the radeon driver what exactly are you installing for packages thanx?
Can you take it step by step asume i have a new installed slitaz on harddrive 
Post the entire line of output:
lspci -nn | grep VGA

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 2400 XT [1002:94c8]
but had to change to vesa in 60-Device.conf i couldnt get in to slim or xwin with option radeonhd>
lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 2400 XT [1002:94c8]
can you post your 60-Device.conf?
btw this is whats installed:
firmware-radeon
xorg-xf86-video-radeonhd
or what files are you having installed?
is it suppose to be: xorg-xf86-video-ati instead of xorg-xf86-video-radeonhd?
ztealmax GPU:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 2400 XT [1002:94c8]
match's driver radeon on modules.pcimap
radeon 0x00001002 0x000094c8 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00
radeon is in the xorg-xf86-video-ati.tazpkg
Make sure these are installed:
firmware-radeon
xorg-xf86-video-ati
mesa
mesa-dri
mesa-dri-ati
mesa-demos

here is Xorg.0.log --->http://paste.slitaz.org/78
However installed it as you said now screen just blinks no slim login or desktop im still using option vga=791
this is the card built in to laptop:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT (ATI RV610)
hmm noticed this in xorg log,
12.805 RADEON(0) Display dimensions (330, 210) mm
can this cause a problem screen resolution?
The Xorg.0.log is perfect.
This may stop openbox/tazbox from blacking out the screen.
Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 vga=791 [c]lang=en_US kmap=us[/c]

this one i have allready root=/dev/sda2 vga=791 lang=en_US kmap=us
still turns off screen feels like resolution problem or hz setting?
Yey nomodeset solved my problem 
Works great now! wish to thank all that gave me help along my path to enlightment ;)e
however 2D still laggy but works
Thank you all
Martin
Add nomodeset to the kernel command line.
If the laptop has a vga,plug a display into it.
The log indicates xorg is displaying at 330x210 mm or 1280x800
Its direct rendering with hardware.
There's not one (EE) on the entire log.
I'm about out of ideas as to what to suggest.

I now can get in to slim / xwin and opengl works
however, 2D rendering in xwin enviroment is laggy / window update slow in window enviroment
seems like it updates when moving a window slow, like watching old commodore 64 loading image 
is that couse of nomodeset?
hmm nevermind i rightclicked and activated desktop effekts Composit now windows move fast.
How can i add so all effect are activated automaticly at boot?
nomodeset turns off drm framebuffer acceleration which also turns off OpenGL 3d direct hardware rendering 
Your only slightly better off because your using the radeon driver instead of vesa.
Offline
and i thought i was set to go
so ok whats the alternative to nomodeset?
can this be used instead?
acpi_osi="Linux"
Could you do me a huge favor and try and install this:
http://dl.heroesofnewerth.com/HoNClient-2.5.13.sh
it installs as it should but getting IRQ problem, guess its my driver thats screwed
as i know you have a working ATI driver, could you do me a huge favor and insall
that game and see if it starts up correctly for you, if it starts up and comes to login screen , it works, if it just flickers well then it wasnt just the driver
Thanx
Martin
