I've followed the instructions on the Salix wiki How_to_Install_ATI_Driver page and done a lot of searching but can't get the AMD Radeon working.
HP Pavilion dv7
Salix Xfce 13.37 64-bit
Built and installed the driver from the ATI web sitelspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc NI Seymour [AMD Radeon HD 6470M]
# aticonfig --initial
Reboot but Xorg won't start. Screen flashes a few times like it's trying, then offers to show error logs.
