To anyone who is an expert on ATI Cards,<br>
<br>
I've gotten one step closer to getting my ATI graphics card working.<br>
<br>
I installed the proprietary drivers and ran the ati's
configuration. When I rebooted, the XServer would start, but
freeze up. I learned on the internet that I could have ssh'd into
the box to reset it...I just did a hard reboot. After surfing on
the net I discovered that the driver was interacting with the card
wrong, and that I needed to tell it to use my main memory (UMA) instead
of the onboard memory.<br>
<br>
I am now happily running gnome with the proprietary driver. But,
it's using 32 MB of my main memory and NONE of the 128 it has sitting
on the card.<br>
<br>
I would like to know if anyone has any good ideas about something
can tweak in my xorg.conf so I can use the on-board memory.<br>
<br>
Below I have attached a copy of my xorg.conf file. I am running a HP zv6000 amd-64 with an ATI 200M graphics card.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
