Cant get radeon 6450 working

[sunnyslacker]

Hi,

I recently got an hd 6450 to install on a dell r900 with 2008r2 but it wont even recognize when monitors are connected to the new card.
Tried running the 12.4 install and it didnt even see the card.
So I successfully loaded the driver first, and then installed ccc. Which went fine, but ccc wont run.

the main trouble I have is that no monitors are ever detected even though 2008r2 recognizes the card and raises no events or errors!

the card has 3 ports and I’ve tried them all! Tried different slots in the server.

I suspect it may be complicated by the embedded video which is a ati es1000. I’ve tried disabling it in the OS without any luck…it doesnt have an option to disable in the bios.

Of course, eventually I would like to get ccc working…

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
