vga_detect problem.

Post#1 by Kriss » 26 Sep 2012, 03:04

Hi all!
Currently I'm using Porteus 1.2 x86_64 + update (kernel 3.4.9) and this cheatcode doesn't work for ATi Radeon 4650.
It recognizes videocard properly and says that driver will be activated if present, but module isn't being loaded.
Using load=ati-fglrx-legacy.xzm helps and then driver is being loaded properly (BTW this is the only module starting with ati-fglrx in "optional" folder).
Driver module was downloaded properly from update forlder and works.
Am I doing something wrong?

Ah. Sorry then. Thank you, fanthom!

Err... It says I should register to download it from 4shared... =(
If I'll download porteus 1.2-x86_64 anew from ponce.cc, will I find this patched initrd there?

It was long since I've had to use use internet explorer to register somewhere, but at least it worked (unlike with firefox).
Links that shouldn't (theoretically) require registration:

Not related problem... Trying to activate module in the folder with spaces (for example "SP UFD 16G", path "/mnt/sdb3/SP UFD 16G/") results in 3 errors:
"SP: Module must end with .xzm"
"UFD: Module must end with .xzm"
"Module is already activated. Deactivate?"

Same modules work when path doesn't contain spaces.
