fglrx not starting when monitor is switched on

[Alexis Kotte]

  Hello,

on my edgy system there seems to be a problem when I use the fglrx
driver: when my monitor is swtiched OFF while starting X, everything
works nicely. However, when I have my monitor switched ON while
starting X the screen blanks and the monitor complains that there is
no signal. The log file complains about "PreInitDAL failed" and
"R200PreInit failed"
I have tried the ubuntu supplied fglrx driver as well as the one
supplied by ATI, either way the problem arises.

My monitor is a iiyama vision master Pro17 and my graphics card is reported as

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon
9600] (Secondary)

by lspci.

Has anybody else noticed this behaviour and possibly found a fix?


Cheers,
