Catalyst 8.11 - Fix for SuSE build-script

[Xtigyro]

... which are really working fine. Well done openSuSE Team.



However, there's still THE SAME old PROBLEM - the FLICKERING, when playing flash or video files (Mobility X1600 GDDR3 256 MB).

AMD.ATI - YOU LET-DOWN US, YOUR CUSTOMERS !

Ok, here's how you can find out what's not working:

Before building the package (step 3 in first post) open the packaging script packages/SuSE/ati-packager.sh and change the rpmbuild command (line 93) from

rpmbuild -bb --root ${TmpDrvFilesDir} --target ${ARCH} ${TmpPkgSpec} > ${TmpPkgBuildOut} 2>&1

into

rpmbuild -bb --root ${TmpDrvFilesDir} --target ${ARCH} ${TmpPkgSpec} 2>&1

Hi knubert

I have followed your instructions in posting #1 and then in #9. Unfortunately I still can't build the package.
Here is the last part of the log text after trying to do the building:
...

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /tmp/ati.RN5M6B/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.35176 (%install)
Package build failed!

Any idea what may have caused this error?

Thanks a ton

Maybe install the patch tool

Maybe install the patch tool

Hi

First of all, thank you for the very quick reply and your willingness to help me with this matter.
Well, I have installed patch and ran again the builder. No luck again.
Here is the new last part of the log:
...

/tmp/ati.WsvATg/usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx /usr/src/packages/BUILD

Hi andrei,

patch seems to be working fine now, but it does not like the patch-files - maybe the 8-11 package was changed meanwhile?

Anyways, why don't you try 8-12 or, better yet, 9-1? These versions have fixed packagers for SuSE systems.

Cheers,

Hi knutbert

Please excuse me for not posting you on this matter, but a couple of days later I succeeded to build the package - unfortunately the problem persisted, in the sense that after performing all your instructions and rebooted nothing was displayed again, the X server stubbornly refusing to start (in fact the error said something like "it couldn't find any display device" or so).
I gave up. After all, I don't use this computer for games or any other high graphics demanding stuff: just for my work.

Thank you again for you kindness to help me

Gratefully yours
Andrei
