And notebook has stopped.

You need firmware-linux-nonfree

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.
Greetz.
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)
Quote from: "towo"Boot your system with radeon.modeset=0 as bootcheat, then you will see anything.
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.
Greetz.
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 calledfirmware-linux-nonfree

You can try and put the cheatcode in
/etc/default/grubThe line you want it in looks like this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"so when all is done, it will look like this
GRUB_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...
Quote from: "tuxic"... 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!!!

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:
