  • Problem with fglrx 8.11 and Fedora 10 (preview)

    Hi, I'm trying to install ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run in Fedora 10 (Preview)..... but it gives me following error:

    Code:
    # sh ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F9
    Created directory fglrx-install.lAfbZ8

    Unfortunately the past two releases don't work with Fedora 9/10 and 8.09 doesn't have Xserver 1.5 support, so Fedora uses have to use the open-source drivers for now until ATI can fix the problem.

          I did an upgrade to the F10 preview and installed Catalyst 8.11, which gives me a graphical display, but without OpenGL. The relevant errors are as following:

          $ glxgears

          Kernel version 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686

          The start-up sequence does not show me a graphical boot. Xv does of course not work, but as somebody else pointed out here before, videos in x11 video mode look surprisingly good and fluid. Going into hibernation hangs the system and gives me a garbled display.
          So yeah, the new Xserver is working with Catalyst 4.11 on F9 (tested before upgrading to F10) and I manage to get a graphical display with F10 - does this mean that the problem does not lie with the Xserver but with the kernel (and might be solved with a kernel update)?

            Your problem is that you're telling the fglrx package to create an F9 rpm while using F10. That actually shouldn't be much of a problem, but with the F10 update one also updates the rpm utility to version 2.6, which breaks compatibility, and thus the fglrx package fails to create the rpm file.
            For a workaround just install it via the automatic installation routine. This isn't very clean, but it should work.

              It doesn't work, no matter which way is used to install the driver. I tried the RPM package generated by the RPM Fusion repository.

              By the way, the RPM program version number in Fedora is actually 4.6.0, not 2.6. In addition, the all the packages for the older RPM should work just fine, since the file format hasn't changed in an incompatible way.

                (EE) fglrx(0): incompatible kernel module detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work

                That means that you are using the fglrx kernel module from an older driver. You have to reboot if you don't know how to unload that correctly.

                  I've rebooted multiple times since the installation (with hibernation being broken...) but the problem is still there. "lsmod | grep fglrx" returns nothing, while "lsmod | grep radeon" spits out

                  radeon 234192 2
                  drm 158260 2 radeon
                  i2c_algo_bit 8836 1 radeon
                  i2c_core 21396 4 i2c_i801,radeon,drm,i2c_algo_bit

                  Is the presence of the radeon driver a problem? I have installed the driver with "sh ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run" and it returned no errors. Since I only installed 8.11 in the new F10 kernel, there should be no way for a kernel module from an old driver to be present there - or am I understanding this wrong?
