    Talking (Fixed) ATI Radeon x1200 Series Screen Flicker

    Hey it took me a LONG time to find a solution that actually worked but today I finally found it but there was a small problem so I fixed the issue and I'm posting a new solution/tutorial.

    I want to give paintedrealms and Giantoz 100% of the credit for doing the actual work.

    Step 1 - Enter below commands into Terminal
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git-core
    
    sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-gl-dev mesa-common-dev xutils-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev x11proto-render-dev xserver-xorg-dev
    
    cd xf86-video-ati
    
    sudo ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-dri
    
    sudo make
    
    sudo make install
    Step 2 - Enter the following commands into Terminal

    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Step 3 -

    Edit the .conf file and make it look like this:

    Code:
    Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "RenderAccel" "on"
         Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
         Option "AGPMode" "4"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Monitor"
        Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Default Screen"
        Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
        Device        "Configured Video Device"
    EndSection
    Then restart your PC and you should be set.

    Once again I take no credit all I did was change "radeonhd" to "radeon" in the xorg.conf file.

    Hope this helps someone...

    Re: (Fixed) ATI Radeon x1200 Series Screen Flicker

    What step goes between these two pieces of code?

    CODE:

    sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-gl-dev mesa-common-dev xutils-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev x11proto-render-dev xserver-xorg-dev


    ##fixed:

    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati

    ## end


    cd xf86-video-ati

    I do not have a directory "xf86-video-ati".

    And this, of course, disabled any sort of video playback. Damn it. I did enjoy the screen not flickering for a few minutes though. Reminded me of the good ol' days when everything worked.
