I created /porteus/rootcopy/lib/firmware/radeon tree in rootcopy, copied Radeon firmware and when x11 starts screen is white and some horysontal lines. Then i copied the ati-fgrlx module to modules folder and x11 wold not start. It repeats x11 is starting forever.
This is Porteus 1.1 x86_64. I tried 1.2 version of testing rc1 and it is all the same.

Tnx guys for your support. This forum is great. Hope to solve this prob. Porteus live is very important to me.

hi mrachni,

please boot porteus on Intel C2D PC with 'changes=' cheatcode.
after failure please reboot to any other OS and upload /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log (from your saved changes) to pastebin.com and link here for review.
with log files provided it will be much easier to find what's wrong with your setup.

Cheers

C2D is no longer in my possession. Only AMD A4-3300. That machine is my biggest prob. I cold do the same if you like? And i use Porteus as live system from flash drive or card reader.

I've heard of a few people having problems with this chip on 64bit. Can you confirm it works on a 32bit machine?
Also ati.com has released a new driver for this in April 2012 ... have you tried this? I have heard of success and users reporting it actually works better than the open source driver.
How do i become super user?

@mrachni

i have updated ati-fglrx drivers for both editions of porteus-1.1 to 12.4 (latest one).
please try it and also use 'autoexec=xconf" cheatcode - just to be sure that /etc/X11/xorg.conf provided with fglrx driver is not causing the failure.
you can get 64bit driver from here (remember that this driver is only for porteus-1.1):
http://ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/current/

if you still get a failure then once again please post /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

also - is your A4-3300 working with open source radeon driver? please try rc2 of porteus-1.2 when you have a chance:
http://ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/testing/ ... -v1.2-rc2/

and let us know.
