I have an ATI card. I was not able to use Xorg in grml 0.7 except after HD install.
Yesterday, I tried the grml 0.8-rc1 and found that I was still not able to use X out of box.
I was trying to find an appropriate (fallback) driver for X, I tried:
grml-x -module ati grml-x -module radeon grml-x -module vesa
Are these the exact commands you entered? No wonder they didn't work, you'd have to specify a window-manager (e.g. wm-ng, fluxbox)
Definitely I specified fluxbox. I omitted it to stress on the module use.
None can start X.
What error message do you get. It's quite hard to guess why it doesn't work without a decent error message (or if there is none, a comment specifying this fact).
no screens found, No devices detected
Is it possible to use X without installing anything, ie. the ATI proprietary driver fglrx?
It surely is. I'm running it here with the radeon driver without any problems.
That encouraging, Thanks, Tobias. What's your model?
Mine is ATI RADEON 9200SE
