</I>At first boot, X doesn't start at all, the system hangs before that.
When booting without nokmsboot parameter, I get a message, this won't
work, because vesa doesn't support kms. But at least I get a tty (which
I don't get using nokmsboot).
After installing radeon-firmware and reconfiguring to use the ati
driver, X doesn't start again but it tries to and I do have a Xorg.0.log
(I attached to the bug report)
This only happens, when configuring to use the ati graphics card, when
configuring to use the intel graphics, everything is fine.
I hope, I did make that clear now. If not, please ask.
By the way, I'm configuring which card to use in drakx11, the bios does
not give me the possibility to disable one of the cards completely.
I will reboot in some minutes and get the things, Anssi asked. The
problem is, that hardware is my main machine and I can't have a non
working test system booting all day, since I need to do some work on
this machine as well.
Oliver
