Even tho I set my default monitor settings to where it works now after installing my new video driver, now only in the log in screen it is no input, i turn my monitor on, log in, and poof I get my screen back (because the default settings I made kick in) How do I fix this?

Hardly advisable without knowing anything about your system... DE? Processor? graphics card?0 -
Continuation of a issue I thought I had previously resolved.
ATI Radeon HD 4850
AMD Phenom II 910 (Quad Core) 2.6 ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Anything requiring 3D acceleration is not working as well...
whats your abbreviation DE for?0 -
My 3D acceleration issue has been fixed, all that is left is a simple issue with my boot screen being completely black and blank until I log in to my desktop then its fine.
I found a website that showed how to install the .xorg driver for Fedora 13 for my video card, it fixed my issue in Fedora 15 so far, Savage2 seems to be running great now.
Would like my boot screen issue fixed tho, not sure where to start?0 -

running this after I installed the proprietary drivers fixed my 3D acceleration issue.
Could you share your xorg.conf file?
DE = Desktop Environment <--- GNOME, KDE, XFCE...

it's kind of like a extra layer of security that I don't want and didn't ask for, because on boot up I can type my password in with a blank screen. Then my screen comes back as soon as I'm logged in. lol0

Hehehehe I doubt it's a security layer
I'm assuming "log in screen" means the KDM screen.
I know KDE added some scripts for initial config of the displays in KDE 4.6.x
What you are describing seems to be a problem with the resolution or something like that. The default res, for some reason, is not working and that's why you get a blank screen whenever on KDM. However, when you login into kde the scripts I mentioned set the correct resolution and that's why you get the screen back on.
Could you please try adding the proper resolution to the xorg.conf file?
In the "Screen" section add something like:SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" EndSubSection
You can test if the problem is what I'm describing. When you get to the KDM screen don't log in. Switch to a TTY with Ctrl+Alt+Fx and login in there. Then:DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -q
(I'm assuming :0 is the default display)
And check what it outputs. Compare that to what you see if you run that when you are in KDE

well i'm sure its the resolution or something similar, the issue I had when i initially installed the driver was that my screen was black and stayed black, for some reason it set my monitor to a refresh rate of 43 hertz and it can't run at that slow of speed. So I set it to auto and it kicks in when i log in. i'll try what you mentioned and let you know what happens.0

not able to get permission, i went to terminal and logged into root with su, then dragged and dropped the file into it and it still claims i don't have permission. What am I doing wrong lol0

I'm not sure I'm following you here. Dragging and dropping in a terminal?
You mean that you do not have write permissions? If that's the thing, check you do have write permission because even if you own the file the flags might be not to able to write on the folder/file.
Regards0 -
Not an answer for the graphics question, but, I have Krusader installed and have Krusader root mode on my panel. When I want to drag and drop files as root, that's what I use. It also makes a lot of small editing easier. Very useful app.0
-
I still can not get write permission to my xorg.conf file. maybe I am doing something wrong... How do you normally do it Marc? I tried Krusader GoinEasy, I didn't see how to use it for this situation. Help! lol.0
-
Look for Krusader Root-Mode, it may be in System menu. I'm not home to look. I keep the Icon on my top panel.0
-
GoinEasy9 I got it with Krusader, thanks for the help! I made the change now i'll reboot and try what else was suggested.0
-
I tried DISPLAY =0 ,1 and 2 all of them say "Can't open display x"
Suggestion?0 -
I use nouveau, not the nvidia driver, I have no xorg.conf.
The open source radeon driver should work with your card though. I'm going to have to reread the thread, did you install the Catalyst driver from AMD?0 -
it works great, the only thing I don't have is my log in screen, I type my password into a blank screen and press enter. Then everything works great and 3D acceleration is perfect. Just the annoying issue of my log-in screen not working, I get "Input not supported" at it.0
-
Try:
Menu-->System Settings-->System Administration-->Login Screen-->Theme
And see if you can set the login screen to something that shows up. The Lovelock theme is default, make sure it's either set for that, or, see if one of the others works.0 -
it seems.... my fedora crashed....0
-
When you get a chance, please explain what you mean by crashed. Exactly what is going on, what do you see during that crash? Or have you worked it out?
Sorry I had a long day at work and didn't see your post earlier.0
