  • AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta

    Here it is:


    It also supports kernel 3.10 OOTB. Finally.

    Now, i installed it and i have some permission issues - if i run anything as my regular user, i cant use all OpenGl functions, i assume i have only the Mesa 2.1 support. But if i run as root, everything seems to be working.

    For example, running fglrxinfo as user:

    Code:
    $ fglrxinfo
    Setting of real/effective user Id to 0/0 failed
    libGL error: open uki failed (Operation not permitted)
    libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
    display: :0.0  screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7560D
    OpenGL version string: 2.1 (4.3.12438 Compatibility Profile Context 13.20.5)
    running it as root:

    Code:
    $ sudo fglrxinfo
    display: :0.0  screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7560D
    OpenGL version string: 4.3.12438 Compatibility Profile Context 13.20.5
    Same with games - slow as hell as user, fine as root.
    Previously i had the 13.6 installed, all was fine.
    I am part of the video group. Restarted countless times, reinstalled driver.
    xorg.conf is the default created.

    What should i check?

    Ah, so it's not related to bumblebee.

    This is the same problem: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...984#post347984

      Definitely not - i have a desktop A8-5500.
      I now reinstall the 13.6 see if the issue persists.

      BTW i noticed that in the xorg logs the driver version was 13.20.4 whereas the OpenGl string is
      OpenGL version string: 4.3.12438 Compatibility Profile Context 13.20.5
      Maybe its not important.

        So, back with 13.6.

        As user:
        Code:
        $ glxgears -info
        GL_RENDERER   = AMD Radeon HD 7560D
        GL_VERSION    = 4.2.12337 Compatibility Profile Context 13.101
        GL_VENDOR     = ATI Technologies Inc.
        Its definitely something wrong with the 13.8 version.

          Like the other thread, can you try:

          Code:
          chmod -R 777 /proc/ati
          and see if this improves the thing? I havent tested it yet, but will go home and test it today.

            So, is this permission issue specifically restricted to the 3.10 kernel and/or architecture?

            I have Debian Testing with kernel 3.10.4 64-bit, AMD 7560D IGP on A8-5500 APU.

              Solved

              I can confirm that the problem is solved by changing the /proc/ati permissions.

              Code:
              chmod -R 777 /proc/ati/

              On another note, the driver fixed no issues from the previous one. In flightgear, the clouds are still black! (Wasnt so in beta3)

                Well, thanks very much for that fix. I was having the same problem running kernel 3.10.5 and Catalyst 13.8 beta.

                    As you can see i have same problem on my 12.3 64bit, the fact that its my first day on opensuse is not helping. (13.8 worked just fine on Mint 15 kernel3.8)

                    Code:
                    OpenGL GLX Context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.
