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

[Michael]

May be you could do --extract and after that delete "fireglcontrolpanel" folder. Than run building script.

It's not a folder. There is a tar of the fglrx sources and it would then compile it from source, but that has all been removed in 8.35.

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?

You can try FC5 again.... it's so odd that it would do something with fireglcontrolpanel as it's not even referenced any longer in the scripts.

Otherwise doing FC6 should work.

Wow, interesting. The fireglcontrolpanel has been removed from the SPEC file. Can you try running it again or running Fedora/FC6 as it will likely error out but to see if it pouts about the fireglcontrolpanel.

I tried three times with Fedora/FC5 and got always the same error.
Now I tried with Fedora/FC6 and it worked, it generated

ATI-fglrx-8.35.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-control-center-8.35.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-devel-8.35.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm
kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.20-1.2307.fc5smp-8.35.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm

and no error message.
Should I go ahead and install the FC6 version even though the system
is FC5 ?

I noticed that too (also Opensuse 10.2) when running Xgl, turn off Xgl and the Ati control works... Propably depends on dri?!

Thanks, that worked! It does seem it depends on the dri, but surely AMD have the resources to create better software.

I have been a supporter of AMD since they broke the 1GHz barrier, and I still remember the double-fan Thermaltake Super Orb, but I feel that now that AMD is targetting the mainstream market they should put more emphasis on the users' needs and trends. Something like Dell's Direct2Dell would be appreciated.

I have the problem that even after a clean install of openSuSE 10.2, I can't get the ATI Control Centre initialised.

I built the rpm package for my system and installed it fine, the graphics acceleration works fine for my Radeon Xpress 1100. Doesn't the rpm take care of all dependencies?

On my ubuntu 6.10 system, the .debs build correctly and the ccc works. However the logout freeze bug still exists, also when I toggle TexturedVideo on to get hardware acceleration on tv-out, I notice great instability with random freezes. Normal Xv output is still affected by the tv-out cropping bug. http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309
