[Bug 389333] Re: [Mobility Radeon HD 3450][EEE 1000HV] fglrx does not work (EE Invalid Video Bios Signature)

 

unfortunately, it didn't work!

this was the way i've tried it:
adding the ppa's, imported the key file
updated the system with update manager
reboot
installed xorg-driver-fglrx with synpatic
terminal: aticonfig --initial
reboot
same error message as always

removed the fglrx driver and restored the xorg.conf
reboot
strange noises coming from the soundboxes
installed fglrx via restricted hardware manager
reboot
same problem as always (will attach the xorg.0.log for this attempt)

removed fglrx and restored the xorg.conf
still strange noises coming from my boxes

the interesting part in the xorg.0.log is:
"(--) fglrx(0): Chipset: "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series" (Chipset = 0x95c4)
(--) fglrx(0): (PciSubVendor = 0x1043, PciSubDevice = 0x836a)
(--) fglrx(0): board vendor info: third party graphics adapter - NOT original ATI
(--) fglrx(0): Linear framebuffer (phys) at 0xe8000000
(--) fglrx(0): MMIO registers at 0xfbef0000

(==) fglrx(0): ROM-BIOS at 0x000c0000
(II) fglrx(0): AC Adapter is used
(EE) fglrx(0): Invalid video BIOS signature!
(EE) fglrx(0): GetBIOSParameter failed
(EE) fglrx(0): PreInitAdatper failed
(EE) fglrx(0): PreInit failed
(II) fglrx(0): === [atiddxPreInit] === end
(EE) fglrx(0): PPLIB: PPLIB is not initialized!.
(EE) fglrx(0): PPLIB: swlPPLibNotifyEventToPPLib() failed!
(EE) fglrx(0):        ulEventType = 0000000c, ulEventData = 00000001"

it definately recognizes the chipset, but says that it is not original ati (what might be true, because it is asus)
asus support told me earlier this week that it might be related to the DEV_ID
is there a possibility to add "my" dev_id to the fglrx? maybe this might work?
is there any information i could gather to help you?
and many thanks for your help :D

cheers!
