And it is nessesary, that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is removed after installing firmware-linux-nonfree.
-
Siduction asked me before install if he may install firmware-linux-nonfree a marked "YES". Soo how can i install firmware-linux-nonfree when i cant change terminal i see only what is on screen.

Boot your system with radeon.modeset=0 as bootcheat, then you will see anything.
-
Try to boot in Runlevel 3 and than change your config. Have a look here (http://manual.siduction.org/en/cheatcodes-en.htm#cheatcodes-linux)

And another question from newbie :P. Where should i put this command and how?
-
That's not a command, it's a cheatcode.
Hit "e" at the grub bootscreen and add that cheatcode at the end of the kernel-line. Then hit ctrl+x, thats all.
Ever read the bluewater-manual?
-
Sure. Always read. I mean "command" not command. I asked becouse i put cheatcode in grub bootscreen once in aptosid and didnt work, that's why i asked about basic question.
Thx. I will try when i back from work.

Hey.
I have installed siduction well. I downloaded firmware-linux and install but i still have to use cheatcode to normally boot my siduction. How can i resolve this problem ?
Greetz.

The needed firmware package is called
firmware-linux-nonfree

Greetz.
You can try and put the cheatcode in/etc/default/grub
The line you want it in looks like this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"so when all is done, it will look like thisGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet radeon.modeset=0"
There has to be a space between quiet and radeon.modeset=0
save and update-grub and reboot
**EDIT** : this is of course if apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree doesn't work
-
Do you have
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free
within your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
Also you get around having to edit the new and complex grub2 configuration you can as a permanent insert place
options radeon.modeset=0
into
/etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf (if you have that).
If you are able to install the linux-firmware-nonfree package then you may have in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf. Just place the line option radeon modeset=0 in there instead of /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf.
Kms will be permanently disabled this way.
And while you are about it if you have pcie card as opposed to agp you can place "options radeon agpmode=-1" into /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf (depending on what you have).

If it's possible PLEASE make an illustrated tutorial. I'm having the same problem for weeks and I can't install it and make it run. On the other hand I installed the other OS (no pun intended) recently without problems. I don't know if it's a bug but if it is please fix it. I'm not a geek bou love your approach to Linux...
-
please, which line in the above description is unclear? You simply have to follow step by step. This wont change with whatever illustration. So give it a try. You are wellcome to report each error message. But you have to open your CLI (command line interface) yourself.
-
Okay, after yhe install I arrived to the Grub Boot, enter the e and add "radeon.modeset=0", hit control x, then try to boot and in the load proccess all the letters looks fuzzy, and when I try to open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) It looks fuzzy also. Appears and disappears (I have to hit Ctrl+alt+F1 so it appears again. I have tried to enter my autentication a zillion time and it says the same a other install tries: Authentication Failure. I'm not such a moron,, I've tried everything that this instrucions detail...
-
... enter the e and add "radeon.modeset=0", hit control x, then try to boot and in the load proccess all the letters looks fuzzy, ...
given the result, I assume you added the cheatcode in the wrong line. You first have to navigate the cursor to the right place ***behind "ro quiet "***. After editing this line should read something like ....
<vmlinuz> ... ro quiet radeon.modeset=0

I'll give up, nothing works... maybe my machine is not made for Siduction. Back to Debian Sid. I'll add Siduction sources and repositories.
-
Sid will have the very same problem, which all ATI cards share atm.
The easiest thing is use failsafe option on the live iso, boot it, install firmware-linux-nonfree and install siduction after that.
All done and good to go.

+ remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf ;)

I ALREADY have a running Debian Sid with KDE, Liquorix kernels and SMXI on one of my partitions and it melts like butter.
On the other hand, (devil) I don't know how to install firmwarelinux-nonfree-- live or after the HD install??? Because after the HD install I can't open anything.
Also (towo) when to delete this file??? Live or after the HD install??? Believe me when I say that I'll do my best to make it happen...
-
Please, let me know hot to install firmwarelinux-nonfree LIVE and remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
-
1. start live with safe settings
2. after start, add non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
3. apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
4. install siduction
5. mount the partition where you have installed siduction
6. delete there /etc/X11/xorg.conf
7. reboot
realy hard?
-
Not so hard, that's what I needed. A step by step so clear that even a moron (like me) could follow. Thks towo and devil!!!
-
... and by the way, it's solved. Frustration ended!!!

7. reboot
towo and devil: I've seen the same problem in the forums so a humble suggestion would be to publish a "sticky" of this step by step tutorial.
-
sorry about that :) :oops:
-
Now this become interesting: even after following devil, towo and blackone tutorial, after the Grub screen, the screen became very fuzzy but it get fixed before the login screen. Then something happened: started experimenting with Liquorix kernels and VOILA!!! A very clean boot and load process. Maybe I'm wrong (I'm miles apart from beeing an expert) but that's why I don't have the problem with my Debian Sid KDE with Liquorix and SMXI script. I thing that the towo's kernel need some adjusting to work appropiately with the ATI Radeon HD. :roll:
