AMD 8.42.3 Driver Released -- The Baby Is Born!

[Uchikoma]

I get the same error as SteviOS(fglrxinfo reports Mesa)
I used the GUI installation for the driver.

So I tried what Michael mentioned(using the package builder), and here is what I get: ( I'm on Mandriva2008)

Try moving the file into your home directory or something and then try it. It seems like it can't find the file when trying to generate the distro specific package.

Slacker: try using /usr/lib32 as your path and see if something comes out of that.

same ugly problem here...on ubuntu 7.10 64bit: ;___;

dh_install -pxorg-driver-fglrx "usr/X11R6/lib/*.so*" "usr/lib32"
dh_install -pxorg-driver-fglrx "usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri" "usr/lib32"
cp: cannot stat `./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri': No such file or directory
dh_install: command returned error code 256
make: *** [binary] Error 1

slacker try running this

compiz.real --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering

this is the command that my 'fusion-icon' program decided to run for me, I had the same error that you are experiencing.

running this sorted it

You need to enable Option "TexturedVideo" "True" for X-Video

thx to Uchikoma and Michael

mikko@gentoo ~ $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32 compiz --replace gconf &
[1] 25702

mikko@gentoo ~ $ compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing

Btw, is this good?

mikko@gentoo ~ $ glxinfo | grep GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

fwiw -- I also had a case of the white screen issue upon first try.

I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and found that AIGLX was trying to initialize an old copy of fglrx_dri.so, which was located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

I copied the new version (which the ati installed installed in /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so) over the one in the old location, and now compiz starts up with no white screen.

I noticed that scrolling in firefox and my terminal are both pretty slow, but cube spinning performance is lightning quick. Anyone else experience slow scrolling?

Unfortunately I got the same problem when enabling AIGLX on Ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop containing a x1600 Mobility Radeon (GLX_ext_texture_from_pixmap extension missing).

Output is :
julien@julien-a100:~$ compiz.real --indirect-rendering --replace
compiz.real (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Any clue? The LD_PRELOAD trick does not seems to work either, and seems related to XGL...

EDIT: my xorg.conf file lists GLX_ext_texture_from_pixmap as an available extension.

I think I know why now...under 64 bit, the lib directory is instead either lib32 or lib64 perhaps.

...maybe that's the reason?

slacker try running this

compiz.real --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering

compiz.real: command not found.

tried without "real" too: same error

Anyone else on gentoo amd64 managed to do this?
Maybe I just forgot something...
