AMD catalyst 10.9 has been released

[foutrelis]

just drop the 32bit flash the nativ 64bit one do have less bugs.

It's exactly the same situation with the native 64bit Flash plugin. And it's not just Flash either; it has occurred with smplayer a few times, although in this case it's not reproducible always like Flash.

There is definitely a problem with the new 2.6.32-x kernel and fglrx. Not sure yet what the final resolution will be.

Radeon HD 4870


any suggestion? help?

(sorry for my very very bad english)

thanks

I had the same problem and was going nuts. Found it to be an issue with linux kernel 2.6.32-24 (which made it's way to the Ubuntu repositories a few days ago - you probably just got it while running updates). I rolled back to 2.6.32-23 and now I can install any version of Catalyst again, including the new 10.9 (fglrx 8.771).

Just install the following from Synaptic:
linux-headers-2.6.32-23
linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic
linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic

It should update grub for you automatically. Next time you reboot, you should presented an option for which kernel you'd like to use. Select the -23 version and install Catalyst again. It shoudld work now.

You can either leave -24 there for now or remove it. I would also install StartupManager from synaptic to help you manage grub if you are going to keep several images to boot to.

Hope that helps! Frustrated the hell outta me for a bit.

10.8 can handle the standart 32 bit flash in 10.04 kubuntu and the 10.9 goes down if you switch from fullscreen to windows mode only strg+alt+f1 and after that strg+alt+f7 brings the screen back.

I think I'm experiencing the same issue. I filed a bug report at http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1913 but haven't received a reply yet. Before reporting this as a bug, I asked on the Arch forums if anyone was able to reproduce this issue, but yours is the only similar report.

Have you by any chance found an explanation of what's wrong and/or maybe a solution?

EDIT: Its breaks OpenGL inside Wine.

OpenGL is working perfectly everywhere else.

[cjr2k3]

The new Ubuntu kernel breaks wine... FFS! I was thinking it was FGLRX fault.

At least the new kernel + this fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/641890 is breaking Wine. (4 driver versions tested 10-9, 10-8, 10-4, 10-4).

If someone knows how to fix this I would be gratefull.

Shouldn't the rpm-package generated by the installer take care of this by itself?!?

You'd think so, but don't worry the .deb packages don't do this either... You'd think that by now they'd embed a version string in the drivers and just have CCC read it from there...

Hey! Someone else is bitching about the 1m edit timeout now too... lovely how it leads to masses of double, trip, quadruple, etc. posts.

(Been trying out Android tablets recently(don't buy the Augen Gentouch78), and knew that nothing exciting would be happening w/fglrx anyways... wasn't surprised when I came back and saw most of the same old friendly bugs still around.)

So what sort sort of OpenGL support are the OSS drivers up to now? Power management fully implemented yet? (Haven't been watching these for a while either as not much exciting was happening with them either, but it seems that I MAY have missed something over the last few months...)

[cjr2k3]

This driver as a bug in ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/641890

I applied the patch but the driver still fails to load. Any suggestion?
