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

[argab]

I applied all the patches listed previously and I could install the driver with compat_ioctl and unlocked_ioctl as well without any errors:

But after that aticonfig isn't working, so I can't generate the Xorg.conf.

argab@argab-linux ~/Let?lt?sek $ aticonfig
aticonfig: a parancs nem tal?lhat?
argab@argab-linux ~/Let?lt?sek $

"a parancs nem tal?lhat?" means "command not found"

I also tried within /usr/lib/fglrx/bin, but I got this:

argab@argab-linux /usr/lib/fglrx/bin $ ./aticonfig --initial
Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
./aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

aticonfig can't write to the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as a normal user. Use sudo to run the command as root.

sudo ./aticonfig --initial

sudo ./aticonfig --initial

aticonfig might write it into your home directory but I don't know if that's enough for it to work with ubuntu ...


it worked for me, too - so it definitely runs with 2.6.37

I meant it compiled fine for me and now I'm posting from my system running it underneath

sudo ./aticonfig --initial

I know that, but it doesn't make any difference:

argab@argab-linux /usr/lib/fglrx/bin $ sudo ./aticonfig --initial -f
Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
./aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

Try to remove the driver and start over. Make sure at least /etc/ati is completely removed.

Already tried to start over, but got the same result. Although everything seems okay during the install, something is definitely wrong.
The /usr/share/ati should contain much more than this:

argab@argab-linux /usr/share/ati $ ls
amdcccle

And I don't even have /etc/ati at all (I don't know whether it should be there in maverick or not):

argab@argab-linux /usr/share/ati $ cd /etc/a
acpi/         apm/          apparmor.d/   apt/          
alternatives/ apparmor/     apport/       avahi/

[Silverthorn]

The content of /usr/share/ati is similar to what I have with fglrx 10.4.

The ati folder in /etc should exist though. It should have been created by the installer.

ls /etc/ati/
amdpcsdb          atiogl.xml         control                logo.xbm.example
amdpcsdb.default  authatieventsd.sh  logo_mask.xbm.example  signature

I managed to install the kernel module.
I used .deb packets from Ubuntu Maverick repositories (packets to other distros can be generated by running the fglrx installer with parameter --buildpkg).

I tried to install the generated packages (apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle), which failed. So I opened /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.780/source/firegl_public.c and applied manually the three patches from this thread. Then I configured the packages with dpkg, did 'aticonfig --initial -f', and restarted the comp.

When Xorg started, the screen went all black, and remained so, however there wasn't a Kernel panic or Xorg segfault. It was possible to shut down the computer using the power button.

So probably Your patches are not enough.
