Thank you everybody for your help, but still no luck.

I think it's best i start to recall whats happening.

  • At install aticard is detected and i choose fglrx propriety driver and x don't work, xorg.log gives the reason as i posted 8 june, then when running atiinstaller the message is nothing to do exiting  (or something like that)
  • When i choose radeon driver x don't work either, but atiinstaller does and leaves a borked xorg.conf with double entries as i posted 7 june which i cleaned up and managed to get working with vesa driver instead of fglrx, but that was with kernel 2.6.21.3 and atiinstaller didn't enjoy that, have now been able to get vesa working with 2.6.20.3 but atiinstaller just borks after aticonfig
  • When i choose ati driver x don't work either, i run ati installer it leaves xorg.conf with a missing section "modes" that aticonfig managed to add in suse.
Some other strange stuff is, at top of xorg.log is this:
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/vector.linux.net:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
wtf?Huh
and there is also only xorg.conf and it's backups in directory /etc/X11, XF86Config-4.in isn't there shouldn't it be?
Roffe Huh

Here's working xorg with vesa:

The Suse working xorg.conf might have been the trick, simply using it and adjust the fonts locations and such accordingly to VL. But I have a card that sometimes is tricky too.

Quote
What I did was install VL, using the vesa driver. Then install the ATI driver that's suitable for my card. After that gets installed, I then edit xorg.conf to replace vesa with fglrx. ALso some cards seem to need Load "GLcore" in the modules section (check my spelling on that glcore, I can't recall right off if the C needs to be capitol too).
I then log out, go to terminal and log in root. Switch to init 3, wait a few seconds, then switch to init 4. That seems to get me back into desktop. Then , before testing anything 3D, I logout, reboot machine. Upon that login, I have working 3D.
Try this, and see if it works for you.

I have never seen that aticonfig tool worth a lick for my card, so manual editing of xorg is needed. I also use the 8.30.3.run. In some cases this driver doesn't work well with some kernel version (all of VL  prebuilts though, no custom), so I then use the 8.36.5 driver. Both of which I get from ati.amd.com.  There is a handy card selection thing there making it much easier to find the right driver for my card.

P.S. There is now a version 8.37.6 driver listed on ati.amd.com, since I was last there.

Hello everybody!

It's a real pleasure to read an Xorg.0.log without errors from a working system, seems that upgrading X11 to 7.2 was the solution, the card was detected as xpress 1100, then even ati's installer couldn't go wrong.

Some cleaning in the messed up xorg.conf was of course necessary, then everything (?) was great. Grin Grin Grin
