xorg.conf and ATI 4350 card
 

hello,


I can get X(kde 4.4) to start and run without a xorg.conf file
but at the wrong screen resolution. (1600x1200) instead
of 1920x1280, as it was before. Every attempt to
edit the old xorg.conf or roll a new xorg.conf with the new
2.6.34-gentoo-r1 kernel results in X that crashes.

Maybe somebody could post a minimal xorg.conf to set the resolution
only on the screen?


2.6.34-gentoo-r1
ati-drivers 10.6
xorg-x11 7.4-r1
xorg-server 1.7.6

Try to use xf86-video-ati. I never could use ati-drivers, it always crashes.

Try:
$ sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

(last argument optional, use "aticonfig --help" to see like 1000 more
options)

Why does it crash? What is the error?

I have none handy, and mine uses magic instead, but you can try xrandr
and see if it allows you to switch to a larger resolution (even if the
mode isn't listed, read the output: it says what the maximum resolution
is --- if it is below 1920x1280, you're out of luck (unless the value is
bogus, of course)).

(But i don't know if ati binary drivers are compatible with
xrandr...)
