Guest |nSaNe Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hiya, I recently went back to using mandrake (this is the first time I have used Linux on a Ati Card) and my card is driving me mad :( I have followed various tutorials, and worked through it myself using my (albeit limited) past knowledge of linux, however whenever I startx I get a blank screen, I cant ctrl + alt + backspace out, but the system appears not to have locked up as numlock etc still work if I press them (i know this isnt a good test, but when you have a blank screen its hard to do much else) The Monitor also stays on as if its getting a signal, the light (next to the power button) drops to amber is it is not receaving a video signal. Some files are attatched, so hopefulyl someone can help me resolve this, X works fine using the vesa driver, and allthough thats fine as I use it as a workstation I would like to get the Ati drivers running. I have upgraded to 10.2 but for some reason my modem refuse's to work in that, so I thought I would drop back to what I know.... I wasent 100% what log file was the correct one, so I attacthed both thanks in advance to anyone who can shed any light on this.

devries Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Both logs are for the vesa driver :). Anyway a blank screen ususally means a configuration problem. Run the ati setup tool again and change some settings (screen resolution for example.) Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |nSaNe Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) yeah I tryed that, I even went for 640x480 just to see, but that was the same If it where just a blank screen due to resolution, wouldnt I be able to ctrl + alt + backspace out of it though ? Will have a look through my logs and see if I can find the right one.
