3alpha2 I won't be able to track this one since I moved back to stable. But this could be an incompatibility between the fglrx 9.00 (catalyst 12.9 beta) and the current available xorg version in cauldron. My system comes out as the follwing in Mageia 2. lspcidrake | grep -i card Card:ATI Radeon HD 2000 to HD 6300 (radeon/fglrx): ATI Technologies Inc|Device 9808 [DISPLAY_VGA] I'm using the fglrx module with few issues in mageia 2.

I'll check if it is possible to work around it... if not I will blacklist fglrx for now... fixed with fglrx-9.000-3.mga3 and kmod-fglrx-9.000-5.mga3 Turns out AMD has once again given Ubuntu newer code than in the public beta on their own site :/ Status:

So, I applied the non-free driver configuration without test and I reboot. Unfortunatly it failed again (and my grub was totally destroyed but I don't know if it could be related to these tests...) I noticed that I can't found kmod-fglrx-9.000-5.mga3 in 64 bits non-free repository ? Maybe this could explain my problem ? Is it necessary to add i586 non-free repository to use it (I only have the i586 core repository which is activated) (In reply to comment #6) > I noticed that I can't found kmod-fglrx-9.000-5.mga3 in 64 bits non-free > repository ?
