fglrx not working with Radon 7770 HD and kernel 3.9-1
Hi
The 7770 is currently not supported by the open radon driver in testing
so I tried to go with fglrx.
I follow the instructions in the debian wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary
and created a xorg.conf with 'aticonfig --initial'. When ever I try to
start X now with fglrx turned on my PC freezes and stops logging, there
is now Xorg.0.log generated and 'grep fglrx /var/log/dmesg' also turns
up nothing. I'm a bit lost on where to start looking for the error.
It used to work with the kernel version 3.2.0-3.
3.2.0-4 has the same error as 3.9-1
