Hello Guys!


i got an imac 10.1 (late 2009) and the Ubuntu installation worked pretty fine.
Afterwards i checked the used drivers/modules and was confused that "lshw -c video" returned:
Code:

  *-display UNCLAIMED            description: VGA compatible controller
      product: RV770/M98L [Mobility Radeon HD 4850]
      vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
      [...]
      configuration: latency=0
      resources: memory:c0000000-cfffffff memory:d0220000-d022ffff ioport:1000(size=256) memory:d0200000-d021ffff


So i went to investigate and in lspci the vga module is not loaded, but the HDMI Audio is:
Code:

  02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV770/M98L [Mobility Radeon HD 4850] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])        Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device 00b5
        [...]
        Capabilities: <access denied>




02:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV770 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4850/4870]
        Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device aa30
        [...]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel


ALso in /var/log/Xorg.0.log i can see my system begins with loading different Modules for the ATI Card. Its loading the "fglrx", "vesa", "ati" and "radeon" but all of them get Unloaded/deleted
Code:

[    7.255] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[    7.255] (II) UnloadModule: "radeon"


I Tried to add a xorg.conf, but nothing changed.
Code:

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
  Driver              "radeon"
EndSection

I have no Idea where to look next...
Anyone got a suggestion, idea or a hint?
Thanks!


Regards, Tobbel!
