https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi !Firstly I'm French, and it's the first time I make a topic on Archlinux.org (and as an English Forum). Sorry for my English :s Here is my problem :I have a laptop with 2 graphics cards (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series and Radeon HD 5650 ), and I want to use Catalyst for ATI's cards >= 5000 to use the Radeon HD 5650. The problem is when I run X with : "startx" (.xinit => "xterm & sleep 10") not with root, I have a black screen and a cursor of the tty top-left of the screen during the 10 seconds and I return on tty. I don't see error in Xo (HowTos)

Hi everyone,

I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad W500 with an ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650. The default screen resolution is 1900x1200, however I cannot find a way to decrease it.

I've seen several answers here which label HD 2xxx-4xxx cards as those which are not supported by new versions of Catalyst drivers and must use legacy versions instead.

Yet, this page seems to indicate that the HD 5650, although it's in a 5xxx series, is also only supported by legacy drivers.

Is there any clarity on this matter?

Hi I really need help I can't determine if my graphics card is defect! I have just set up Fedora 12 on a month old Lenovo Thinkpad with Integrated Intel Graphics and a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470.

Hello,

I've been trying to install F18 on a Toshiba C870. It has AMD Radeon HD 6625M Graphics on board, which doesn't seem to be supported by the radeon driver included in F18. It is also not supported by the closed source Catalyst drivers (as per the AMD website compatibility list).

When I boot normally, all it shows is a black screen.
