Hi All.
My m/b (Intel G915EV) ships with an integrated video adapter.
I tried to install an external card cause I need more VRAM. So I plugged
in an ATI Radeon X600pro PCI Express.
Booting the system, FC4 recognize new adapter but the system freeze
completely at X login (either KDE and Gnome),
mouse and keyboard not responds and the only thing I can do is to reboot.
Have you any idea for a such problem?
Below you can see the xorg.cong automatically configured.
Thanks
Beppe
X is configured for the original adapter and the driver will not work
with the new adapter.
boot to runlevel 3 (text login) and run
"system-config-display --reconfig"
This should auto detect the new adapter and properly configure the
driver to at least get it running.
If you need the capabilities of the card to support 3d and other
advanced things, you will need to install the ATI drivers.
Thanks Jeff.
Actually are you sure X is configured for the original adapter (Intel
chipset)?
If you look at the automatically created configuration below you can see
a "correct" driver!
Anyway I'll try to reconfigure it.
