User got upgraded to 6.4. Graphical mode video fails.
It's an AMD (nee ATI) RV620 (FirePro 2260).
So I finished upgrading everything, including kmod-fglrx. Based on the
xorg.conf's on there, it's been using the fglrx. Now, in Xorg.0.log, it
tells me "no supported AMD display adapters were found". I've been
on-and-off googling for hours, and can't figure out if the
"legacy"
kmod-nvidia from elrepo will work: their info *ONLY* lists Radeon cards,
and I can't figure out what this damn thing is. Oh, lspci -v tells me
it's
"ATI device 2343".
Anyone know what this card is like (AMD shows three different models of
the same name, and I have no idea which it is, and none uses a Radeon
name), and what driver I might use, or do I have to downgrade X....
mark, extremely tired of his user's machine

The current AMD driver [v13.1] ONLY supports Radeon HD 5000 series and above, with the legacy driver [v13.1 legacy] supporting older Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 or HD 4000 series cards (I assume yours is a 2000 series card) *BUT* the legacy driver does NOT support X server ABI 13 in the version of Xorg shipped with RHEL 6.4. So your card is not supported by AMD as the version of Xorg server in RHEL 6.4 is too new.
Well, I'm *almost* there on my user's box with the old ATI card. Radeon
driver, and I had one mistake, so now we can access both monitors.
But...
If I enable xinerama, I can have it work as one large screen, but xrandr
is disabled (and the system->preferences->display doesn't work). And
with
xinerama, it still acts as though either it isn't getting 1280x1024
resolution, or the viewport (?) is bigger than the screens, and I have no
viewport option. Also, when I shove the mouse off the screen, a portion,
an "L" shape of maybe 25% or 30% of the screen, moves offscreen, and I
can't make it come back.
With xinerama disabled, xrandr is enabled, the
system->preferences->display works, and I can move the mouse between
monitors... but the systems sees them as separate, with their own menus at
the top, and the display GUI only sees one monitor.
Annoying, to say the least. Any X experts here that can suggest what I'm
missing?
