Try creating a copy of the PCIGraphics monitor file called PCIGraphics2. However, this time don't change the BOARDNAME or CMPLENGTH. You can also try just double-clicking on the PCIGraphics monitor after Workbench has loaded. Ah, that's good stuff. I never would have figured that out on my own. I'l...

I also picked up a PCIe to PCI converter and was going to try the 9250 in one of the PCIe x1 slots, but after receiving the part I was not to impressed about the build quality or componets used and would rather not risk inserting it in my A1-X1000. I was looking at one of those on Amazon earlier an...

I had a better go at it tonight, getting the 5770 and 6850 cards to be recognized at the same time for a dual-monitor system. To get it to work (and I read the guide until it became clear to me) I have these monitors in devs/monitors: Radeon HD 5 Radeon HD 6 PCIGraphics The 5770 would not show up wi...

I did indeed utilize the excellent guide by the dynamic Hans/Trevor duo, but I will carefully go through the process again this evening in case I missed something. It wouldn't be the first time! I suspect the problem of the 5770 not being recognized in a dual card configuration with the 6850 is in t...

The firmware upgrade is done and now the 6850 card is working. Thank you! It's odd that Ranger and the printenv command reported to me that I had CFE version PAS-2.0.3.00 both before and after the firmware upgrade. Is that not the firmware version? Maybe it's not. But I definitely see the new A-Eon ...

Thanks, Trevor. I definitely do not have the latest then. Just found my version is PAS-2.0.30. Off to A-Eon site to download latest and install instructions. I've had a few oddball problems with graphics cards as I've attempted some things, and maybe the firmware has been the problem all along. Will...

Thanks for the speedy reply, Hans. My X1000 was delivered to me on June 27 and I was under the impression it had the latest firmware. However that could be a mistaken impression. I'll check and see and report back.

Hey, folks. I've tried a couple of HD 6850 cards in my X1000 and I have not been met with success. The latest card (tried just now) happens to be the very same single-slot PowerColor Radeon HD6850 used by Trevor and remarked on in his blog entry. Since that's a card known to work, I'm certain I must...

Don't get too excited, Dave… no drivers have been released for onboard sound or ethernet so far as I know. What I have done is the admittedly radical move of removing the ethernet card and, thus, Internet access. (I can confirm the onboard ethernet port does work in Debian.) I doubt anybody else wil...

Heh. OK, so my definition of being patient for a week seems to be repeatedly trying and failing to do this nightly on my own, while between failed attempts checking online to see if the instructions were made available yet. I know, I know.... I must have been a terrible worry for my parents too. ;-)...
