    Greg
    I get this compilation error on kernel 2.6.29:


    /thread/9a10efde9c50b8ce/bf7ce3f715cd1434?lnk=raot

    With the 9.4 source this is:

    /usr/src/modules-2.6.26-fglrx-9.2/fglrx/firegl_public.c:1444: error: ?struct task_struct? has no member named ?euid?
    /usr/src/modules-2.6.26-fglrx-9.2/fglrx/firegl_public.c:1818: error: ?struct task_struct? has no member named ?cap_effective?
    /usr/src/modules-2.6.26-fglrx-9.2/fglrx/firegl_public.c:1822: error: ?struct task_struct? has no member named ?cap_effective?

      That's what I do each time. The last kernel update for Debian Lenny was about a week ago, I only installed this driver two days ago after using fglrx-uninstall and rm -rf'ing /etc/ati/.

      What I posted above also happens on another box with Debian Lenny and with a 2600xt. One is using 64bit and the other 32bit os's.

      It was late at night when I posted the kneejerk "I'm done" reaction. After two days of use, I like the improvements in 9.4 overall but the savage2 thing has really struck me hard as a gamer, especially with a clanwar coming up.

        whats wrong with savage2? Mine plays fine.

        EDIT:
        Actually it doesn't:
        Code:
        X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
          Major opcode of failed request:  139 (XFree86-DRI)
          Minor opcode of failed request:  8 ()
          Resource id in failed request:  0x2000009
          Serial number of failed request:  84
          Current serial number in output stream:  110

          Yeah, I already tried xrandr with 9.4 and now it does list my TV output (contrary to driver 9.3). But gnome doesn't use the complete screen.

          Is there any way to create a second screen in xrandr? I don't want a stretched desktop, I want two separate desktops (no window dragging between them).

          When I setup with
          Code:
          aticonfig --intial=dual-head --adapter=0
          I get the dual-head setup I want and for screen 0 xrandr shows:
          Code:
          xrandr -q --screen 0
          Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1280

          COMPONENT_VIDEO disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
          But on CRT1 (my main screen) gnome uses only 1024x768 pixels of the available 1280x1024. So the panels don't stretch over the screen.

          I can setup my main screen properly, when not having dual head. But I don't know how to create a second screen with xrandr... I can only address `screen 1' (the 2nd one) if it is already there.

            Can somebody please post the fglrx version of Catalyst 9.4?
            I'm playing around with Ubuntu 9.04 and I have there 8.60.3 running.
            But with this version Team Fortress 2 is crashing in current Wine and Crossover games when a map is starting. On the wine page somebody got it running with fglrx version 8.60.40. So I have the feeling that I'm running the Ubuntu Catalyst and not the real one, even though I installed from Catalyst 9.4 install file.

            Thank you in advance

                  You got the real one. Mine is also 8.60.3. The 8.60.4 must be a beta.

                    I reported this on the bugzilla, but this is a problem that intermittently appeared with monthly fglrx since June or July 2008.

                    I would really like that someone could take care of it since it seems to me it is a bit critical. (Xorg fails to start due to this)
