Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx

I have a Diamond branded 512MB Radeon X1600 Pro (R530) AGP 4X graphics card. Ubuntu 8.04 Beta tells me to use the ATi Restricted Drivers (the fglrx package) and installs them, but then when it restarts, the screen remains black instead of showing the login screen. I went into recovery and restored X. It seems to be using Vesa instead of fglrx. The old fglrx (pre-AIGLX support) from 7.10 worked fine, then I updated it to the new 8.42 (AIGLX) version and it had some troubles, but finally kind of worked. Then I installed 8.04 and it hasn't done anything but crash. My friend also has a card that uses fglrx and he said his works, but mine refuses to work.

Just playing around with it, my Xorg.conf has:

Section "Device"
     Identifier "Configured Video Device"
     Driver "fglrx"
     BusID "PCI:1:00.0"
EndSection

lspci says:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600] (Secondary)

startx/xinit fails with:

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

So, I have a Radeon X1600 (RV530) and fglrx doesn't even know what it is...that's great. So, how do you get fglrx to detect the card?

Remove the BusID line, does it work then? Hardy doesn't write that anymore.
