    Unhappy ati driver

    Troubles with ATI card, nothing new eh?
    I have tried for hours searching forums and such but have not found a solution.

    1. installed the latest ATI proprietary drivers on a new Debian install for a 9200 Radeon
    2. switched to init 3 and tried to run the aticonfig --initial

    the error I get is:
    Using XF86Config-4
    illegal instruction

    when I try and run X a large list of unresolved symbols displays followed by this error message:
    Fatal server error:
    Caught Signal 4. Server Aborting

    along with....
    XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server":0.0"
    after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.


    I need some serious help with this.
    Thanks to all.

    I assume you use debian sarge and XF86. Have a look at http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.sta...installer.html if http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Main_Page doesn't help.
    Check that the XF86 version in Sarge supports that video card. You may want to use vesa or vga driver (if neither sarge radeon nor ati drivers work) until things get sorted.
    Good luck.
