  • Amd CCC...nexuiz... and X full CPU...but glxgears fix the problem?!

    Hi folks.... I finally managed to get (a little) work fglrx in my fedora...I had conflicts between runlevels..

    but now I have another problem..

    after boot, if I run the amd/ati control panel or a game....nothing happen... with top I see that X is at 84 % CPU and GLXINFO HI cpu usage too...

    for unlocking the problem, I just run GLXGEARS and all works....

    what happen? How to fix this issue?

    I'm using the fglrx 8.44 by livna... same problem with 8.45 (livna) and official installer...

    kernel: 2.6.23.14-107

    Code:
    # Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
    
    Section "ServerLayout"
    	Identifier     "Default Layout"

    That error is in every driver since 8.41.7 and Xserver 1.4. If you use an older driver (with -ignoreABI override) then it works without that problem.

        Depends on the DM you use. Do you use KDM, GDM or whatever?

            For Debian you would use this - I will not install Fedora:

            echo [server-Standard] >> /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
            echo command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -ignoreABI >> /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

            Also when you want to use 8.40.4 you will need this:

                Same here (I see problem, Kano's fix doesn't work...unless I'm screwing it up which is possible). Ubuntu 8.04 (alpha-2).

                I'd test it on my production machine running 7.10 except it has radeonhd, which I trust more than fglrx.

                  so.....the only solution is running glxgears at every xorg start? WOW great fglrx driver -_-"

                    That fix is for using 8.40.4 or older. My fglrx script has it included. As long as your xorg.conf has already a driver fglrx statement you can execute it for testing with -v 8.39.4 or -v 8.40.4 as options. It does not yet work with those pure default xorg.conf files.
