AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta Driver For Linux Released

[gradinaruvasile]

In fact, give chmod for proc / ati helps temporarily. I tried to rebuild packages firegl_public.c editing the file, but it did not help, maybe I did it wrong. Could someone send me the converted file firegl_public.c?

I also tried to add to the spec patch that posted ext73 but it did not work.

Unpack the driver in a directory (--extract dirname)

find the /common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c file (relative to the extract folder)

Just look for this around line nr 821:

root = KCL_create_proc_dir(NULL, "ati", S_IFDIR);

amd replace it with this (add "|S_IRUGO|S_IXUGO"):

root = KCL_create_proc_dir(NULL, "ati", S_IFDIR|S_IRUGO|S_IXUGO);

Save the file, install with

sudo ./ati-installer --arguments --install

run from the folder where it was extracted.

If it complains about previously installed stuff ,use

sudo ./ati-installer --arguments --install --force

Brutal Legend menu fixed

(just a quick check) For me, this Cat 13.8b1 fixed the corrupted menus in Brutal Legend.

kde 4.11, ati fglrx 13.8 beta, ubuntu 13.04 - opengl doesn't work

Hi,

I have just upgraded to ubuntu 13.04 with kernel 3.10.6. After that I have updated my fglrx to 13.8 beta and after that I have added ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports and I have upgraded my system.
After reboot my effects settings changed to xrander, so I tried to apply new opengl 2.1,2.0 and 3.1 but none of them works. It says that "it was not possible to activate effects using those options, check the X configuration or change the options about the composition type".

Here is my xorg.conf:

and my Xorg.0.log:

How can I solve it?
Thanks

You should have updated your system before you installed the driver.

I am not an expert, but would try just to install the amd drivers again.

[gradinaruvasile]

No update problem, its a driver issue.
He has 2 choices - applies the patch (its in this thread somewhere afaik) and reinstalls the driver or launches opengl apps as root (not really desired).

thanks I tried it, but it didn't work.

yes it is. The problem is that those drivers are a .sh file, I don't know how to extract them and apply patch in there.
Btw I also tried to reinstall 13.4 drivers with kernel 3.8 and everything works fine.
I hope it will be fixed with next fglrx release.

Thanks

The following command helps before launching steam or any games

sudo chmod -R 777 /proc/ati/

sudo chmod -R 777 /proc/ati/

That will have to do after every reboot.

i know. but you can open console and use upward key so it propmts the command there
