Hash: SHA1
Synopsis: I get a blank screen after applying instructions from
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html.
I can still use ssh to connect to the computer: I note X uses all the CPU.
Hardware: Athlon XP 2400+ / Asrock K7S8XE
Software: Debian unstable with kernel 2.4.25
To be more accurate:
- - Requirements
+ I don't grab gcc-2.95 from unstable since the kernel image I use
(kernel-image-2 2.4.25-1) was compiled with 3.3.2 (according to
/usr/share/doc/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-k7/buildinfo.gz) while mine is 3.3.3
+ I do the apt-get/make-kpkg stuff, with flavour=1-k7 and revision=2.4.25-1
+ I have debhelper, fakeroot and wget
- - Source
+ I follow the instructions
- - Install
+ I build/install the following package:
fglrx-4.3.0-kernel-2.4.25-1-k7_3.7.6-4+2.4.25-1_i386.deb
+ I modify my XF86Config-4 (see below)
Then I launch startx (output/error redirected to file):

Any idea would be appreciated. Especially if you got a blank screen too, and
you managed to solve it somehow.
Thanks for your time.
