Hi,

I have an motherboard with a 780g (ati hd3200) and have a hdmi cable connected to a tv.

1) The smxi dont install the up to date fglrx drivers (option 7) - when it says i can only hit enter for the options (since the defaults are good) it does nothing after i hit enter, i waited several minutes. If i hit enter again it says it will finish the configurations and asks me if i want to go to desktop - BUT then i have no X.

2)If i use the hadeonhd (option 3) my processing goes to 50%-60% (normally 1% to 3%) idle when the TV is turned on.

3)if i use the old hadeonhd (option 2) the system always starts with 800x600 resolution, even after configured. (i know this is a driver x xorg version problem-lots o distros have this problem)

** no other FGLRX option will work becouse of the xorg version.

Help is much apreciated.

The release notes for the latest driver are

The doc you send me didnt mention my hd3200 but this driver does. The driver had to be installed from cli (without x running) and i ran aticonfig --initial -f

BUT there is 1 thing missing, it takes my tv as the first monitor and i cant change that, i will mess with my xorg a little, if i find the answer i will post here.

Catalyst is Working fine so far

I would suggest that you post at

what you may find on making it work, but it seems h2 (techAdmin) is a bit fed up with all the problems the fglrx driver gives (see last post at

) so maybe you should kindly ask him to fix smxi __{{emoticon}}__ (or else he should just drop support for it, I'm thinking).

sorry, i forgot to reply __{{emoticon}}__

The problem is not with smxi, its the ati driver.

The sound on the hdmi dosent work too (at least for this mobo).

I reinstalled the option 3 driver with smxi and its not eating all those resources anymore.
