I just bit the bullet and installed CentOS 5 on my work desktop, and although I have two monitors and a card that supports them, I cannot get the display configuration to work with both as a continuous (spanning) desktop. I have tried using the correct (autodetected) monitor type (digital and analog), a generic LCD with 1280x1024, nothing works. Every time I set the configuration, the X server

A user running gnome came in this morning, clicked on the application menu... and it was much shorter than he expected. He could get to firefox, and googled about refreshing that... and found something that told him to reboot. And that's it: I cannot get X up, at all. I just get the "oh, no, something failed, please log out and try again". Fully updated CentOS 7, [AMD/ATI] Oland

Hi again. I've got a laptop with an ATI X600 inside, perfectly working xorg with dual head configuration, 2 desktops (without xinerama). I've got 2 xorg.conf files, one for propietary ATI (fglrx) driver, and other to use the open source driver. The difference is very notorious. The problem I have is that I read (Saint Google) that to work with compiz/beryl and dual-head configuration, I

Has anyone successful played Dragon Age using an ATI/AMD graphics card? I have it running great on my Nvidia card with winetricks but not on my ATI HD 4870. All I get is a black screen with none of the models showing up ingame. Are ATI/AMD drivers still not playing nice with WINE?

I've installed CentOS 5.5, fixed my problems with my network card driver, and and I've followed this: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/AtiDriver , downladed latest ati driver, restarted, screen resolution is fixed, but everything lags. ATI Radeon HD 5470 1GB this is the output of "lspci -v" *01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc

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

I am new and trying to get Daz Carrara 6 Pro going on Ubuntu Hardy. I am on a Core 2 Quad Q6600 Dell Inspiron 530 using an ATI X1650 pro card. I am using the Ubuntu Add/Remove ATI drivers and Wines. Carrara 6 pro 6.1. and I just updated to 6.1.1. I did not load the C++ and I have turned off windows management in WINE. If I change the interactive rendering settings and click OK, Carrara

Hi! I have managed to get games like Team Fortress 2 and Mirror's Edge to finally run. But only with really bad performance. If I run glxinfo | grep direct in the terminal, I get: Code: direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) However, if I run sudo glxinfo | grep direct, it outputs this: Code: direct rendering: Yes I'm not sure if that is relevant, but it seems a bit odd.

Still trying to get it running. Updated CentOS 7, ATI video card, trying to use the radeon driver, and, using the previous kernel, X appears to come up, but gdm fails; with the 514 kernel, X fails to start. And here's a twist: I just rebooted, with radeon.modeset=1 on the kernel line... and for no reason I know of, I get *six* logs, Xorg.[0-5].log. Does this suggest anything to anyone? I

I've just test an ATI FirePro 2460 graphics card on CentOS 6.4. It connects 4 monitors. It worked with the standard radeon driver. I was able to arrange the monitors into my preferred configuration (as a square array, 1 upper left, 2 lower left, 3 lower right, 4 upper right) simply by clicking System -> Preferences -> Display, and then moving the four monitor images. This creates the

Last Thursday, for some reason (possibly a power failure), my work desktop had a different video configuration than when I left Wednesday evening. I have two 17" flat panels configured as a two-head wide (side-by-side) single display. When I arrived on Thu, I had two individual desktops instead, the resolution was down to 800x600, and so on. The monitor type had been reset to generic

I have an unusual use case. I wonder if anyone can help. We use a PC with 8 HDMI outputs for powering a video wall in an operations centre. We use two Matrox video cards, each with 4 outputs. "lspci" reports these cards as" [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [FirePro W600]". On an older version of CentOS 7, I used the proprietary AMD/ATI driver. This had a utility (I roorget the name)

I have such problem: When i start Warcraft 3 (or WOW) in opengl mode (or DirectX, no matter) i got theese lines in console: > ibGL error: drmMap of framebuffer failed (Cannot allocate memory) > libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering Game works fine but low perfomance. I really can't find solution in the internet. My system: Ati X1600 Mobility Radeon - ATI 8.3

How well do AMD Radeon cards run on Wine now? From past experience, I wasn't able to get as many games to run with an ATI Radeon compared to Nvidia.

Hi, Our desktop clients are running CentOS 7 with the Xfce desktop from EPEL. The CR repository is enabled. A few days ago I launched an update, which brought in close to 1 GB of packages. I had some weird problems on two clients. One is an old Dell Optiplex 330 with a legacy video card.

Hey all I have here two machines... Machine A) AMD Athlon XP 2500+ CPU Nvidia 6800GT GPU 1GB DDR 400 RAM Ubuntu 8.04-32bit OS Machine B) Intel Q6600 CPU ATI/AMD 3650 GPU 2GB DDR2 800 RAM Ubuntu 8.04-64bit OS Machine A plays Civilization IV and Oblivion just fine, played for an hour last night with no issues. Machine B gets to the part where it initializes the engine of the game and after a

Dear Ralph. I guess it was you who wrote the very helpful ATI driver tutorial page. I just wanted to add some additional notes: Package generation requires rpm-build to be installed. You may use: yum install rpm-build on a clean CentOS box to do so. Maybe you could also add a note for CentOS 5. On my 5.2 machine the newly generated packages are found in: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ instead of

I gather from the discussion on the reference thread that I'll be having quite a time with a MB having an Integrated ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics chip set and a video card using a Radeon HD 6570 chip set when I try to run CentOS 6.4 on it. I was going to ask if CrossFire works with CentOS, but it appears that the integrated chip set isn't going to work at all. Well, ignoring all that,

Hi, I had posted the following issue a few days ago in Xen-users but I haven''t received any answer yet. So I decided to re-post it here in hope for some solution. Here''s the original post: Xen wiki states that using linux 3.0 and above as dom0 works with all graphics cards. I could install the fglrx graphics driver on my desktop machine with a discrete graphics card (Radeon
