ATI Radeon HD 3200 [Solved]

[Fitzcarraldo]

^Edit the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and, according to JACKAL913, you need to append acpi=on to the kernel boot line. There may be more than one kernel boot line in your grub.cfg file (I don't know what you have installed), so make sure you add it to the line for the kernel that you are selecting from the GRUB Menu when you boot your machine.

For example, if your kernel boot line in grub.cfg were to look like the following:

Code: Select all

linux /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.6.0-sabayon ro init=/linuxrc splash=silent,theme:sabayon video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3 vga=791 gfxpayload=1024x768x16 console=tty1 quiet dokeymap keymap=uk domdadm resume=swap:UUID=21d41eeb-fdbb-4722-a766-00f64b857ef6 real_resume=UUID=21d41eeb-fdbb-4722-a766-00f64b857ef6 root=UUID=fd1b4e08-fc28-4a2b-898a-a729887ea756 docrypt

you would make it look like the following:

Code: Select all

linux /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.6.0-sabayon ro init=/linuxrc splash=silent,theme:sabayon video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3 vga=791 gfxpayload=1024x768x16 console=tty1 quiet dokeymap keymap=uk domdadm resume=swap:UUID=21d41eeb-fdbb-4722-a766-00f64b857ef6 real_resume=UUID=21d41eeb-fdbb-4722-a766-00f64b857ef6 root=UUID=fd1b4e08-fc28-4a2b-898a-a729887ea756 docrypt acpi=on

It would be sensible for you to make a backup of grub.cfg before you edit it:

Code: Select all

cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.bak

If that works, later on you can add the parameter to /etc/default/sabayon-grub so that it gets added automatically if you, or (SL) ever execute the grub2-mkconfig command in future.

[sabayonino]

I suggest to append acpi=on in /etc/default/sabayon-grub e then regenerate grub.cfg

Code: Select all

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Your solution will be overwritten when you update kernel/drivers/grub

[Fitzcarraldo]

If that works, later on you can add the parameter to /etc/default/sabayon-grub so that it gets added automatically if you, or (SL) ever execute the grub2-mkconfig command in future.

I'm blind man

[onlystitch]

didn't work either. so 2 out of 3 ways dont work atm. the one way that does work with the beta drivers, lags out my pc enough to notice. So I am wondering what is a simple fix for this, somewhere there is a string of code that is not correct for it to work without all the 3d rendering stuff I dont need. It works on the live disk and in recovery mode, why not regular mode?

[onlystitch]

Since none of these solutions worked well, I tried something new.
So I installed http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-d ... x86_64.run
and now and get the GUI without being able to log in, before it was just a black screen, now it shows the sabayon default screen but the login box and reboot etc is not there. maybe this is a x11 or grub problem? not booting to the proper device?

thoughts? remember im still kinda new to linux (in depth)

Unfortunately AMD have dropped Catalyst (FGLRX) driver support for the 4000 Series GPUs, although there is a 'legacy' closed-source Catalyst driver. So you have two options: 1) try to install the legacy ati-drivers package, or 2) try to install the open-source Radeon driver.

For Option 1, see the instructions in the SL Forums post: http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php? ... 31#p154472
(Also check if the file /etc/conf.d/modules specifies the loading of the radeon module, and comment it out if it does.)

For Option 2, see the blog post: http://joostruis.wordpress.com/2011/01/ ... -catalyst/ and also the note about Radeon HD 4000 Series GPUs at the end of the SL Press Release for SL 10. in these forums.

this option works, but then both the ati drivers update populates after. my module is as follows

Code: Select all

# You can define a list modules for a specific kernel version,
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or just a list.
# The most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394"
#modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
#modules_2_6="tun"
#modules_2="ipv6"
#modules="ohci1394"

# You can give modules a different name when they load - the new name
# will also be used to pick arguments below.
#modules="dummy:dummy1"

# Give the modules some arguments if needed, per version if necessary.
# Again, the most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#module_ieee1394_args="debug"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="debug2"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23="debug3"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6="debug4"
#module_ieee1394_args_2="debug5"

# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.

# Added by the Sabayon Installer to force radeon.ko to load
# since CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is not enabled by default at
# this time.
modules="radeon"
module_radeon_args="modeset=1"

Your post is unclear. Which option works? Option 1 or Option 2? If you mean that Option 2 works, simply uninstall ati-drivers and ati-userspace.

[onlystitch]

lol sorry. the Beta driver option 1 works, but it tries to update my video with the userspace and ati-driver. Tried to to remove them through the package manager/GUI and it shuts down the video on the next boot.

[Fitzcarraldo]

You would need to mask the unwanted packages/versions to stop them being upgraded. For example:

Code: Select all

echo ">x11-drivers/ati-drivers-12.6" >> /etc/entropy/packages/package.mask
echo ">x11-drivers/ati-userspace-12.6" >> /etc/entropy/packages/package.mask

or whatever the package version is you want to keep. The syntax in the above example means "do not install a version of ati-drivers that is > (greater than) 12.6".
