Thank you for the link to the fglrx-installer document. I have a question about kernel options. From Section 2.1.1:
----- 2.1.1 Recommended kernel options CONFIG_MTRR=y The fglrx driver needs MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support # CONFIG_FB is not set CONFIG_FB_VESA=y is supposed to work, but it appears that it can cause "mtrr overlapping" errors; CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y definitely causes problems, so disable it. ----- My current kernel options are: There is no CONFIG_MTRR option present. CONFIG_FB=y # CONFIG_FB_RADEON_OLD is not set CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y # CONFIG_FB_RADEON_DEBUG is not set There is no CONFIG_FB_VESA option present. So, my best guess is that my options should be: CONFIG_MTRR=y # CONFIG_FB is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON_OLD is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON_DEBUG is not set And forget about CONFIG_FB_VESA. Does that seem right, or am I preparing to shoot myself in the foot?
