If lsmod |grep fglrx does not return anything, then the kernel module is
not loaded, which means the driver is not installed.
There was an error building the module, I am not sure why (coding is not
my strong suit).
A friend of mine has a similar motherboard. It came with a board in the
PCI-E slot to add an HDMI port. We pulled it out and put in an nVidia
7100 that he had lying around. At least the board that I saw had two
PCI and one PCI-E.
If you are replacing the board, there are some Asus boards that have
onboard nvidia (6150s, maybe newer now) that work well under linux. The
last one I bought for my parents was ~$85 CDN (40 odd euros).
Sorry I could not be of more help.

| Hi Gustin
|
| 1. I run lsmod |grep fglrx and lsmod without grep, there's no module
fglrx.
| 2. ctrl-alt-F1, login as root
| 3. /etc/gdm stop and gdm stop won't work
| 4. killall gdm and check out if it's done by running pidof gdm, it's
| fine, no gdm anymore
| 5. There's no module fglrx, anyhow I run rmmod fglrx and get an ERROR:
| Module fglrx does not exist in /proc/modules
| 6. I tried modprobe fglrx and get FATAL: Module fglrx not found
| 7. dmesg
| Off topic, but also relevant because of another problem, that seems to
| appear since I tried the fglrx module:
|
| ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore/init.c:174: cannot find the slot
| for index 2 (range 0-2), error: -16

| snd-usb-audio: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5
| usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
|
| Nothing else from dmesg :S. I can force to get the TerraTec soundcard,
| but than I lose the USB-MIDInterface.
|
| Back to the fglrx: Why isn't there the module?
|
| Again:

|
| So it might be, that I have do make my Linux less functional, by giving
| up a PCI card, to get a free slot for a graphic card, that than might
| not work, because it only will work in one special slot, that I can't
| clear for the graphic card.
|
| Any ideas how I can make the integrated ATI work? Any recommendations
| for a low cost PCI Express x16, PCI Express x1 or PCI card? I have no
| AGP or any other slot, only those PCI slots.
|
| At the and I might have to buy a new mobo. I'm very poor, I get my food
| from charity, food that normally will be junked by supermarkets and this
| fucking mobo is a mobo I bought at 03/31/2008, because my old hardware
| wasn't fine with Linux, a friend still gets 100,- EUR from me, because
| he lent me the money and before I ordered my new hardware, I get the
| informations that this hardware should be fine with Linux.
|
| I won't belief any vendors any more and all the communities lists I
| know. Is there a verified list for hardware that will be fine with Linux?
|
| The other problem is, that normally I don't buy computer hardware, I get
| most of it from the bulk garbage and only because of Linux I sometimes
| buy computer hardware. I can't remember when I ordered guitar strings
| the last time because of my efforts to get my hardware running with
| Linux
.
|
| I might should do some unethical work myself, e.g work for Brauner,
| Microsoft and other sucking people to get the money to be fine with
| Linux. Is this the only way to life on this planet? I stopped working
| for people like those and now quality of life goes more and more to the
| dogs.
|
| If you're using a Windows without licence and cracks, the people think
| you're "normal", if someone is honest, using FOSS like Linux, people
| think you're a freak.
|
| This is why I can't make other people using Linux. I always have to say:
| "To make music you have to boot 64 Studio", "to backup to the only safe
| medium dvdram, you have to boot another Linux, e.g. Suse", "If you want
| to have fax etc. you need a board with many pci slots and you have to
| buy a lot of cards, because most of your equipment won't work with
| Linux", "you also need another printer" ...
|
| I ought to lynch all this capitalists, doing all they can do, to
| maintain the monopolies of Apple and Microsoft. If ATI will give the
| needed informations to program drivers, what should a rival company use
| this information for?
|
| Sorry
... I'll come back to my troubles later and will try again to
| solve the ATI problem.
|
| Cheers,
| Ralf
