ATI Proprietary Linux Release Notes 7

z Starting X with a second hotplugged display may cause segmentation fault

z TV screen corruption may be visible while starting the X-server on some ASICs

z Stopping X in dual-head mode may cause segmentation fault

z Catalyst Control Center: Gamma values might not be maintained for color channels

z With both DP and CRT connected, starting X-Server in big desktop mode may cause

the DP display to go off and on, for every few seconds

z [Ubuntu-8.10] CRT might be shown as connected in single mode DFP connection

z Error may be reported in dmesg running 3D apps for specific systems

z Catalyst Control Center: Incorrect formats are listed in HDTV Support page

Note: On Novell's openSUSE, SLED and SLES operating systems

running “sax2” or “sax2 -r” on the console overwrites the X.Org

configuration file xorg.conf, reverting changes made by running

“aticonfig --initial”. As a result subsequent X session may start up

using the open source Radeon on X-Vesa graphics drivers instead of

the proprietary ATI Linux Graphics Driver.

Solution: Do not use Sax2 when the proprietary Linux Graphics

Driver is installed. Instead configure all display parameters using the

Catalyst Control Center--Linux Edition or the aticonfig command

line interface.
