** Description changed:
The live CD of versions
* 7.10
* 8.04
will fail to start X server on laptops using the on-board graphic card ATI
XPRESS 1250
Editing xorg.conf and manually setting driver to "ati" will also fail.
- Compiling radeonhd from git with the procedure discribed here [1] and
- editing xorg.conf to use that driver solves the problem. I didn't
- perform any test with 8.10 since there's no live cd avalaible yet.
+ Pulling radeon from git with the procedure discribed here [1] and
+ applying the patch from Alex Deucher [2], then compiling [3] and finally
+ editing xorg.conf to use that driver solves the problem.
Please ask for more information if needed,
reagards,
