Problems with fglrx (F10, rpmfusion)

[planetf1]

I'm running the F10 preview+fixes, which isn't of course necessarily supported by the ati driver just yet (I gave up waiting on F9), but I get the following issues.... has anyone got this combo working at all?

I used the prebuilt module, and driver from rpmfusion -- based on 8.11 beta. I did also try the new ATI driver, doing a regular install, but had the same issue with interrupts.

Have you tried using 8.11?
Edit: Oops, those aren't in the repo yet... I've submitted them for building, they should be available soon.

I've tried using the new 8.11 drivers from the repo (with F10) and upon the point of launching X, the machine hard locks with a blank screen. Keyboard doesn't respond (even the num/cap/scroll lock lights) and am unable to SSH in.

This didn't happen with the previous drivers (the 8.11beta). I could get X to launch it just had EXTREMELY POOR 2D performance and 3D was broken.

I just installed the drivers this morning before leaving for work, and haven't had a great deal of time trying to troubleshoot other than hitting the reset button a couple times and trying to SSH in from another box.

I didn't think we supported F10 at this point; AFAIK a lot of the F10 internals are "newer than upstream" right now.

@planetf1

always compile the fglrx kernel module - you can not use an old one. If you don't know how to unload it then reboot.

I didn't think we supported F10 at this point; AFAIK a lot of the F10 internals are "newer than upstream" right now.

At the moment F10 is using the standard 1.5.2 Xserver, so it should be similar to Ubuntu Intrepid. I've narrowed down the black screen problems to libfglrxdrm.so. While you can't ssh after X hangs, it seems to work fine if you ssh before... I ran "startx -- :1" and this was the result:

/usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: firegl_QueryMCRange

I've compared my logs to those of users running Intrepid and the difference is that libfglrxdrm.so isn't loaded by Xorg, so this is why DRM fails and it also explains the undefined symbols.

bridgman,

Are there plans to have FC10 support in 8.12? I would be more than happy to keep using the radeon driver but on my 9800 pro and my mobile x700 any time I start up a 3d app my machines lock up hard.

[bridgman]

I doubt it. Our official support is for RHEL not Fedora.

Are your systems AGP or PCIE ? I'm guessing AGP -- and I believe there are some known issues with AGP boards in F10 being worked through now.

For the short term I believe forcing AGP 1X or PCI helps a lot, and the #radeon IRC channel lets you watch the F10 AGP issues being debugged in real time

My son has fedora 10 and needs a fast card for 3D games.
Should I wait or buy a nvidia?

[jfontain]

Is there an email to contact ATI support or sales?
There is no way to do it from their website unless I have a product number: I am getting quite upset at AMD and just about to go elsewhere!
