AMD Catalyst 8.9 Gets WINE Fix, RandR 1.2 Support

[mirv]

The ati-drivers-8.522 with only the version and SRC_URI changed works for me. That is on Gentoo amd64 and a HD 4850. Which version did you base your're ebuild on? If I get to it I'll try it on a 32 bit Gentoo installation with a X1600.

Based it off the same version - just changed the SRC_URI as well. I rather suspect that I have something different to most people too - I've never been able to run amdcccle. Do you use a dual head system, or only single screen?
I use enlightenment if that makes a difference, though the 8.8's worked just fine.

First check:

ldd $(which amdcccle)

As for my 8.9 problem, I suspect that may be something to do with the custom libdri that's apparently there now - I'll have to look into that a bit more.

-- As I suspected: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so had to be replaced by hand. amdcccle still doesn't work, but the rest of the driver does!

Is anyone else having an issue running dual-head mode? I'm running on an HP dv5 laptop, which has an ati HD3200 chip and running my Samsung HDTV as a secondary monitor over an hdmi connection. Whenever I try to boot in to Ubuntu(8.04.1) fglrx crashes and BulletProofX loads.
I have no issue running in big desktop or clone mode, either booting with this setting or enabling it after my system has fully loaded.

I've had the same issue with 8.8, but not with an notebook.
I have done the following steps and it worked.

[sudo] gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
        ...
	Driver		"vesa"
        ...
EndSection

[sudo] apt-get remove --purge [all ati packages] && [sudo] rm -dfrv /etc/ati/

reboot

Then I reinstalled the ati packages and activate the fglrx driver but NO OTHER OPTION!!

Then reboot!
After reboot, I have activated the other fglrx options like ...

The steps are not all logic, but it worked.

on debian

If you can't wait for debian to release the new package, than you can do this:

Well, on my dual-head system (AMD 3450: tv and tft monitor, two separate x-screens), OpenGL programs are not terminated. For example: glxinfo hangs (after outputting all info). An OpenGL program I wrote myself also hangs (after it was finished). Besides that, no really big problems.

My other computer (single monitor) does not have these problems.

btw: what is the best location to report bugs? I did report some bugs to the unofficial bugzilla, but is that ever read by the devs?

I can't modprobe fglrx with *.deb package build from ATI's *.run file:

# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Module fglrx not found.

Any ideas where I should start to look for a solution? I run Debian testing x86_64

Update:
The regular drivers don't work for me either. I need to issue a:

module-assistant auto-install fglrx-kernel-src

to get 'modprobe fglrx' working. problem is when I try to do that with the latest drivers (which i manually build from ATI's *.sh), it failed because it tried to update to the 'latest' fglrx driver.

Any idea how to resolve the problems with version conflicts?

Update2
I managed to build the kernel-src but now I get this error :

# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-amd64/misc/fglrx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

You can try my script:

http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh

but you need a supported kernel. You need the CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY=y config option set and you should have got kernel headers installed correctly. Use

sh install-fglrx-debian.sh -v 8-9

to try 8-9 driver, 8-8 is currently default because of the stupid debian etch dri bug.
