X86 on with ATI Card will Cause X to Hang when UP Kernel is Booted

DESCRIPTION

X will hang when ATI card is present with accelerated driver and the RHEL3U7 i386.

SCOPE

HP xw8400, xw6400, xw4300 workstations with the following present:
6GB of memory or greater
•
ATI card configured with accelerated fglrx_4_3_0-8.25.10-6 driver
•
RHEL3U7 x86 UP kernel is booted
•
NOTE: To check the installed ATI RPM version, execute 'rpm -qa | grep fglrx'

RESOLUTION:

HP recommends that you boot the SMP kernel.
X86 or AMD64/EM64T X Configuration with ATI Card May be Setup
with Low Resolution
DESCRIPTION
When ATI card is present with accelerated driver, the X config file may have been setup with a
smaller than expected resolution.
SCOPE
HP Workstations with ATI graphics and accelerated ATI fglrx_4_3_0-8.25.10-6 driver.
NOTE: To check the installed ATI RPM version, execute 'rpm -qa | grep fglrx'
RESOLUTION:
HP recommends that you modify /etc/X11/XF86Config or use the aticonfig tool to use a new screen
resolution.
To do this, modify the Section "screen" of the appropriate configuration file to include additional
modes, such as Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" 640x480"
The aticonfig tool can also be used to modify the screen resolution
To do this, execute:
# init 3
# /opt/hp/graphics/ati/configure
These steps will place a /etc/X11/XF86Config template into place which contains the full list of mode
resolutions.
