CentOS 4.2 does NOT work with ATI! Period! not x86-64 and x86.. X is completely screwed up. I hope that this will be fixed with 4.3. I had to switch to an nVidia card that works perfectly.
Yeah, that's what I'm discovering. I wish I had heard these reports earlier before slapping an ATI card in.
Switching to another card, such as one from nvidia, is an option of last resort.
This is not just CentOS, it's X. I had the same problem with Ubuntu, but SuSE worked perfectly without any problem, they have newer drivers.
Ok. Good to know.
I tried with the drivers from X and from ATI, same.
If you can live with it, you can edit Xorg.conf and change the driver to VESA, but it's ugly.
Yep, that's what I'm going to do. Degraded 2D performance isn't a problem. It's a server, so reliability is more important for me.
Thanks for replying.
