You seem to have come a long way! These problems are hardware specific and it's difficult for anyone without the exact same hardware to help. It is possible that an even newer kernel could have solved the open source drivers issue. Try compiling one, it really isn't that hard. There is a howto in the wiki.

Do I understand correctly that you have found a way to have everything working?

Yes, i'm aware it's a somewhat specific problem of this machine (on crunchbang i found one guy who had the same machine with the same identical issues and who managed to solve - but he never turned back to explain "en detail").

And yes. The working setup is: kernel 3.14 plus the latest fglrx (omega) driver from amd. Using this lilo append line:

Code: Select all

append="quiet vt.default_utf8=1 rootfstype=ext4 nomodeset resume=/dev/sda3"

Now, there is only a smaller issue in the bootup with a timeout while waiting for a response of the spamd daemon. Cfr http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php? ... 889#p36889. When i boot with the radeon driver, it seems to run over or to not have/create this timeout though ... (And also an issue with clamav, but that's for sure a somehow "crippled" setup due to my missing slackware knowledge).
