[gentoo-user] Radeon trouble

[Alex Schuster <wonko@wonkology.org>]

Hi there!

I have a new video card (and a new motherboard + CPU, but I got that to work 
already), and once again I am having trouble configuring X.

It is a ATI Radeon 9250 (128 MB-AGP, 200/240 MHz). I added fglrx and radeon 
to my VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf, now it is VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx radeon 
nvidia nv vesa vga fbdev". X was updated with "emerge -uN xorg-x11". I 
usually configure with X -configure, but here it gives me this:

weird ~ # X -configure :1
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/weird:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

I used the :1 argument because I have X running at the moment, but I also 
tried without X up, so this should not be the problem. The full log file is 
available here: http://wonkology.org/~wonko/tmp/Xorg.1.log


I also tried xorgconfig, but I get this message:

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I got X running by keeping my last xorg.conf and exchanging "nvidia" 
with "radeon". But I want 3d acceleration, and I guess I need the "fglrx" 
driver instead, but with that I get this error:
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

Log file: http://wonkology.org/~wonko/tmp/Xorg.3.log
xorg.conf: http://wonkology.org/~wonko/tmp/xorg.conf.fglrx

What could I do? Via google I do not find threads about such problems.
