fglrx: Unknown symbol pci_enable_msi
I'm running 2.6.28.2. Does this even support 2.6.28?
Then recompile, install kernel and modules again. Then recompile fglrx against this new kernel configuration and install the module. Reboot the new kernel.

OS: Ubuntu Linux 8.10 x86
GPU: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M26 [Radeon Mobility X700 XL (PCIE)]
It installs fine using this script
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-*.run
# ./ati-driver-installer-*.run --listpkg
./ati-driver-installer-*-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/intrepid
dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_*.deb
dpkg -i fglrx-amdcccle_*.deb
dpkg -i fglrx-modaliases_*.deb
dpkg -i libamdxvba1_*.deb
dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_*.deb
rm -R *fglrx*
rm *amd*
The Bad: Nothing yet.
The Ugly: I got this ugly watermark now saying "AMD Unsupported hardware" and I can't get rid of it! It's driving me nuts! I tried to solve it by replacing /etc/ati/control and /etc/ati/signature with the new, correct versions (using --extract on the installer) but no go. I really need to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Using the sample from: http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boa...&Number=247818
When I change the requested version to 2.1 instead of 3.0 it works perfectly.

But, this is strange too:
Code:dodo@2nd-of-12:~/Desktop/tmp$ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 OpenGL version string: 2.1.8395 Release
Is OpenGL 3.0 something that has to be installed separately? I'm currently using the default Ubuntu 8.10 installation.
EDIT: I've also tested playing video while having desktop effects turned on. It doesn't tear, but it's slow, very slow. Especially slow while playing HD video (less than 10 FPS).Last edited by DoDoENT; 30 January 2009, 06:48 PM.

The example program crashes on the `glXCreateContextAttribsARB' function call if the requested version is 3.0, it runs fine when the requested version is 2.1.
The example program passes the `glXCreateContextAttribsARB' function call if the `direct rendering' option is changed from true to false (still requesting a 3.0 version). But in that case the `glXMakeCurrent' function call throws a bad match. Which should only happen if different X screens and visuals are used to initialize the parameters for glXMakeCurrent (which is not the case). I also followed the suggestion that is found beneath the example code (see: http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boa...154#Post248154).

The reason why glxinfo only shows OpenGL 2.1 information, is that to obtain the version and extension info in OpenGL you call:
glGetString(GL_VERSION);
glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS);
I assume that is what glxinfo does, BUT that only retrieves the extensions supported by the current context. glxinfo doesn't create an OpenGL 3.0 context, so instead it displays the info from an OpenGL 2.0 one.
Has anyone tried this driver on Ubuntu Jaunty yet?
Luke
P.S. Also, in OpenGL 3.0 the correct way to obtain the extensions is using glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i), the glGetString version is deprecated.

I must say I haven't found any problems with these drivers. I use a bog standard xorg.conf and previous month I removed /etc/ati/amdpcsdb after a dist upgrade.
Impressions
- Suspend still works fine (always did)
- Mobility x300 (r300 card) supported
Haven't tried composite, was unstable with the 8.12 drivers and uses to much CPU. I use OpenSuSE 11.1
Keep up the good work, Ati

Please help
Reading Your posts I know that You can run the newest ATI Catalyst 9.1 driver on Kubuntu 8.10.
Maybe it's stupid question but I want to ask You for a help in installing it - it doesn't work on my Kubuntu 8.10, on Mobility Radeon 9700 and 2.6.27-11-generic kernel.
Can You tell me how to install this driver or give a link to some tutorial?
Basically what I was doing was standard install ATI way - ./ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run , checking if fglrx is present in XORG.conf and restarting. System was booting normally and when KDM should start it back to the console login.
What I was doing wrong? Do I have to instal old version of X.ORG? DO I have to use some other options during install?
Please give me at least a clue why it doesn't work for me.
