request: patch for catalyst (10.10+) to get 2.6.37-rc* working

[Kano]

No, you have to trigger dkms to compile again. A noob would reinstall the kernel, others would run the autoinstaller with the kernel or others just use dkms build/install with the correct options.

I removed fglrx and installed it again, using the method described by Silverthorn, with the same effect.

Does it run on Your linux?

There was sth interesting in dmesg:

2.6.37-rc2
Anybody forced fglrx to work with fresh rc2?

There was no problems with rc1, although on rc2 fglrx module is compiling fine and then fails when starting Xorg...

I've tested all patches, the problem occurs always...

ArchLinux x86_64, hd4850

Heres some more important scratch from Xorg.0.log:

[AnorexiasGrizzli]

fails for me too with rc2

In logs we can find this interesting log:

Nov 14 13:58:37 mateusz-laptop kernel: [ 25.490245] uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x34f, err=0). Trying again with default timings.

so please dont load uvesafb and any other 'vesa like' module before load fglrx and check it again.

best regards,
Patryk

Same problem for me using -rc2 and ATI Radeon HD 3200:

(EE) fglrx(0): failed to map MMIO register space!

so please dont load uvesafb and any other 'vesa like' module before load fglrx and check it again.

Thanks for the hint. I don't have any vesa modules loaded at all.

On Ubuntuforums, the Makefile is also patched. Could this be the reason for the error?

[Vi0L0]

On Ubuntuforums, the Makefile is also patched. Could this be the reason for the error?

This patch is only adding DCOMPAT_ALLOC_USER_SPACE variable into ati's Makefile.
The value of variable is = compat_alloc_user_space(size)
or = arch_compat_alloc_user_space(size) on newer kernels (i don't remember precisely from which kernel they started to use arch_compat_alloc_user_space(size), guess from 2.6.35.6).

I've added this variable to match ati's make.sh file.
Instead of this variable you can also use this patch: http://www.cosmicencounter.net/mirro...h-2.6.36.patch which is doing the same job (ofcourse with combination of checking does the file /usr/src/${kernver}/arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h got compat_alloc_user_space or arch_compat_alloc_user_space).

Anyhow this is a "must have" - otherwise the fglrx module won't compile at all - aspecially on the x86_64 systems with those newer kernels.

And the answer for your question is no - this is not the reason for error.

Hi,
Success ! Catalyst works on 2.6.37 again.

some details:

kernel: 2.6.37-rc2-git5 with patch for scheduler from http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128978361700898&w=2

catalyst 10.11 with patches: fglrx-2.6.36.patch , sema_init.patch .

and I removed old amdpcsdb and I'm not using any vesa module.

catalyst 10.11 with patches: fglrx-2.6.36.patch , sema_init.patch .

I can confirm it's working on rc2-git5 also without famous "sched: automated per tty task groups" patch.

I used same catalyst's patches and same catalyst like you .
