AMD 8.35.5 Driver -- Hello Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition!

[Michael]

I've been trying get the fglrx driver running on my custom 2.6.21 and after all the googling and breaking my head, I'm still unable to get it going.

To begin with, I intalled the driver using yum and it goes fine, but the only problem is that I cannot use my custom 2.6.21 kernel. I then cleaned it up to reinstall for my custom kernel. For this I got the driver from ATI and tried two approaches both of which failed in the same place(aticonfig: munmap_chunk()), which is same as above
1. Using ATI's install GUI
2. I built the RPM and try to install them.

Here are the logs -

Any update on this problem? Any suggestions? Any pointers ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
KM

Are you using the 8.36 driver?

Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is anything you can do on your end as the problem resides with amdcccle, which is still undergoing some work. I have forwarded your crash output onto AMD -- hopefully the problem will be fixed for you in this month's driver.

I have solved it!

I am trying to build the 8.35.5 package for a Fedora Core 5
machine, and something is odd. I use the following command:

sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC5

and it goes on showing a lot of stuff I won't repeat here, but at
the end it fails with this message:

error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel


RPM build errors:
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.wX3805

I thought this newest version didn't include fireglcontrolpanel
anymore. What is going on??
I checked /usr/bin/ and there is no fireglcontrolpanel there.
Any ideas?

hi,guy,I suffered from the problem ,too. and now, I have solved it. I found that a script named check-files in the "/usr/lib/rpm/" directory will be excuted when the error appears, so I edited the script and deleted the contents except the first line.then,I run the command
sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC5
Everything is going well,and finally,it generate sevral rpm files.
I think there must be something wrong when the check-files was excuted,may be it's a bug !

I found a workaround to the issue above incase anyone is interested.

After executing this:

sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC5

ctrl+z the process after it says it has extracted the pkg. Then cd to the /tmp ATI directory and find . -name "fireglcontrolpanel" and delete it . This should exist in a usr/bin directory.

After that just fg the process and it will build the rpms successfully.

Thanks for that. I hadn't seen the AIGLX disable before. I got acceleration happening by copying in some of the backed up xorg's. I have also installed XGL and got it running however, I can't get Beryl to run. It complains about XFree86 DRI missing. My current Xorg now looks like this;

I have installed the 8.35 drivers and very surprised that I have got most things OK. I upgraded to latest kernel and got ipw3945 working first go. Now my issue with the drivers is that the xorg.conf file generated is incomplete. Below is my current file. I will look at copying some things in from the backup copies.

What are the main bits to add? glxinfo reports that I am using Mesa (uck).

ok, now I messed something up again, I can't get the program to open (same problem I mentioned before). I will post what it says in the terminal after running amdcccle as suggested by Michael:

thanks for the quick reply, I edited my post just now because after I reset my xorg.conf file, it was fine. AMD CCC opens. I'm actually having some other problems now but I'll make a thread on it in a bit
