ATI fglrx drivers: no screens/devices found!

[AljoshaNL]

Hello,

I have an ATI Hercules 9000, and when I try to start X with the fglrx drivers I got with apt-get,
I get errors:
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Could anybody please help? I looked in google, but no help there.

Hi,

I had the same problem.

Be sure that the ati/radeon and dri modules are not loaded.
Load the fglrx module using 'modprobe fglrx'
Besure that the ID in your xorg.conf is right, in my case: - BusID "PCI:2:0:0"

I'm not sure, but I guess you can find out your BusID using the command: 'lspci' and looking for 'VGA compatible controller' the bus ID probably is the number before that line.

this is my xorg.conf:
