ATI HD3200 - drivers - the same old chestnut
Peter Chant
the bullet and build a new kernel to see if it got rid of another problem.
Downloaded latest drivers and did:
ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run
seems to build ok. However, running aticonfig --initial writes a new
xorg.conf file. The problem is either the kernel module loads and is not
used, or it does not load at all (both seem to happen). Any suggestions
apart from running out to buy an Nvidia card?
I was very happy with Nvidia until my old machine's graphics card suddenly
became legacy - and it all went wrong. The other sad thing is that the
Radeon HD3200 on a triple core phenom sucks compared to an Nvidia fx5200 on
a 2.5G Athlon XP of about five years old when both are defaulting to VESA
drivers.
Getting frustrated.

BTW, how much ram did your FX-5200 have? I have two of them: both AGP, but
one with an HDMI output and another with a regular VGA output, both with
128megs. The HDMI is low profile, couldn't find a low profile that wasn't!

I think mine were both 128M - replaced first one as it did not have DVI.
Surprised that one is available with HDMI as its an old card. Don't
understand your comments on profile.
