Hi All, I am running Sid, updated to the latest. I have a Gigabyte Radeon 9000 pro on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe rev2 motherboard. I use Xfree86 4.2 with the VESA driver (couldn't get the radeon support to work properly :( ) in a resolution of 1280x1024 (max of my LCD monitor).
Now I have the following problem using gdm: - when I boot it starts gdm - gdm starts X - X comes up but dies after a couple of secs (i can see the grey screen with the little mouse-cross) - I see my console for some seconds - and gdm retries - repeat above steps 4 times or so untill gdm decides it is no use. I know above behaviour, I've seen it when you don't have X properly installed. The idiocy now is that X _*_is_*_ properly configured! When I start it using startx it runs perfectly, but -and this might be important- it takes around 5-10 seconds to load up. It seems to have some difficulties 'starting up' the video mode in my videocard. Maybe some timeout counter of gdm?? Is it possible that GDM uses some kind of timeout? Like: if X not started withing 5 secs, give up? I had a look in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf but could not find anything like it. Also, I tried good-old xdm, and this works perfectly. So my question is: - is this a known error in GDM is Sid? - or is it just mis-config from my side? Also another question: has someone been able to run the accelerated Ati Radeon drivers? HOW??? It is an R250 chip, and uses two PCI ID's. Any suggestions on running it in accel mode would be great! I also tried Xfree 4.3 some days ago (did a fresh install since then, so it has nothing to do with above errors), but it was fairly slow and used a lot of CPU (20-50% on an AMD XP 2500+).
