video card driver questions
Recently I got an hp pavilion g4-1016tx laptop, I installed Fedora 15
on it, I chose the "install with basic video driver" option, first it worked
well, but yesterday I could only log in with text mode.
There are two videocards on my laptop:
AMD Radeon HD 6470M
Intel GMA HD
I tried to install the ATI driver on my laptop, and I still failed to make
it work properly.
My error messages are as follows:
# aticonfig --initial
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
# fglrxinfo
Error: unable to open display(null)
# startx
unable to open display
# xhost +
xhost: unable to open display
# xhost +localhost
xhost: unable to open display
I then checked my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it contained these messages:
No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard 0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "SWCursor" "true"
Endsection
I don't really understand these commands and the configuration files, I just did it as the
infomation I found on the Internet.
I am really lost. Thanks for any help.
