Hello, I'm encountering a most annying problem, my system boots up with my custom kernel and initramfs (both created by genkernel, though I did the configuring), but I can't see anything. The system changes that state of the numlock key, reponds to ctrl-alt-del, cleans tmp, but I can't see a thing. I have merged that ati-drives. The default debian kernel does output messages. My card is an amd 7770. My kernel version is pf-sources 3.19_r1, grub 2.02_beta2-r3, boot-update 1.7.3, and genkernel 3.4.40.7-r6. I did read the ati install guide and follow the directions. Thanks.

I get the following message in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log and was wondering if anyone else was getting it: [ 1312.812] (II) RADEON(0): Use GLAMOR acceleration. [ 1312.812] (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration enabled [ 1312.812] (==) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled [ 1312.812] (==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled [ 1312.812] (EE) RADEON(0): Failed to set up textured video (glamor) Does anyone know what implications this has / how I can resolve it?

Hello, now that I want to swith my desktop from Opensuse to Funtoo I remmember that some of the AMD cards requier a seperate binary only proprietary driver. The Linux kernel has been upgraded several times since 3.0 and so they might have a driver out or I might need to do some magic to get my card working properly, I'm not certain. Mine is the R7770. Here's the output of lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cape Verde [Radeon HD 7700 Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

I recently made the switch from fglrx to the radeon drivers for my video cards. The installation and modifications to the kernel went well and my system booted correctly. However, when I ran my compositor, compton, with backend glx things slowed down -- specifically, window dragging was very slow and laggy -- almost like a vsync issue. This led me to check my X.org log, where I found the following: [ 22.676] (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-0 [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-1 [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Output DisplayPort-0 disconnected [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Output HDMI-0 connected [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 disconnected [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-1 disconnected [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Output HDMI-0 using initial mode 1920x1080 [ 22.690] (II) RADEON(0): Using default gamma of (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) unless otherwise stated.
