Ubuntu Gets Another ATI Catalyst Driver Handout

[bugmenot]

Has anyone made a working package for Debian?

(complete message, last one got "Killed" by alteration limit):

I get segmentation faults as well:

it doesn't matter whether I try to run DRI as a user or root:

[ 3250.964257] glxinfo[14930]: segfault at 7fe086715fa8 ip 00007fe08617cd9e sp 00007fff53767b78 error 7 in libGL.so.1.2[7fe086122000+a2000]

this happens with full blown xorg.conf configuration and conservative where everything is disabled

card is

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6899
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Device aa50

strange thing is:

graphics output works:

fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.2.9737 Compatibility Profile Context

(that's all it puts out)

glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Segmentation fault

glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Segmentation fault

chipset is H57, Processor: Core i7 i860
~amd64, Gentoo Linux, gcc version 4.4.3 (Gentoo Hardened 4.4.3-r1 p1.0, espf-0.3.7)


@bridgman:

you guys should know what error 7 means

output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

that's all I can provide


gotta go back to work (and restore my system) now

I installed the newest build of these drivers, and they don't work. When I'm trying to turn them on using jockey-gtk im getting something like that:

SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[kernelOfTruth]

This driver release doesn't work when enabling multiple display adapters for me. Can only enable one display at a time.

YMMV, it does work for others:

> is it stable enough for production ?
I?m running it for a couple of hours now. Switched to the console and back,
between two different X sessions with different display setups, played a video,
and am using a big desktop spread over two displays.
The only thing I didn?t test is 3D acceleration (e.g. in games).
But I think since KDE4 already uses that to render its compositing desktop, it
should work.

perhaps you need to make adjustments to your xorg.conf configuration

btw, the watermark is gone now for my hd 5650 mobility.. so this 10.4 beta (10.3-333) contains support for it at last.

hi krionius or other radeon mobility hd 5650 users:
as I just cannot get it to work, xorg.0.log seems to show segmentation, I would be grateful if you could confirm the following things please:
a) distro - mine is lucid lynx beta 1 amd64 fresh install
b) version installed 1,2,3 or 4 (am guessing 3 ??) -- fglrx_8.721-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb - I tried 3 and 4
c) xorg.conf just the standard from sudo aticonfig --initial ie mine is

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

d) exact device yours is returned as - mine is:

$ lspci -nn -vv | grep Radeon
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5600 Series] [1002:68c1] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5600 Series] [1002:aa60]

e) make/model of your laptop -- mine is sony e-series

thanks a million

I am using lucid, tried to update but it still has old version in cache, so i tried a few things to install manually. Could someone please explain the procedure, or better show the steps, or a link. to how to update. Thanks

fglrx-driver_10-2+8.721 is now available from Debian's SVN experimental branch:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-fglrx/fglrx-driver/#_fglrx-driver_

I'll try it on Squeeze and report back.

[kernelOfTruth]

b.g.o: #310367
