No screens found at every other startup [Solved]

Postby Chompjil » Tue Feb 05, 2013 2:48

I had a problem with my graphics drivers, fixed it rebooted, it worked. Then when I went into sabayon about a day later I got a black screen with a blinking underscore. I used the command 'startx' and got no screens found. I install the ati-drivers using equo and It works after a reboot. This cycle happens everytime and I would know how to fix it, my GPU is an intergrated ATI Radeon 4200, i installed the propritary drivers yes, but i have to go thrugh that cycle every time. If there is to fix this so it starts up with XFCE always and X11 detecting ym screens.

Thank you in Advanced, Chompjil :oops:

The file $HOME/.xsession-errors and the output of # dmesg (upload them on Pastebin, please) would be helpful.
I assume a module not loaded. Do you use the correct graphic driver for your card?

http://pastebin.sabayon.org/pastie/11963 <<< is the dmesg
Also I'm using the 12.6 beta pre897 drivers

EDIT: nevermind, it is the update for the ati-drivers that are not compatible with the 4000 cards, if I dont update it works fine, however how can I make it so that it doesnt remind me?

You have to mask it. A raw idea can be found here. You have to adjust the version of course.
