Title:
fglrx doesn't support ATI FirePro M7740 chip?
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The "fgrlx" package now installs successfully for me. However, I
believe it's not recognizing my chip, the ATI FirePro M7740. This is
the chip that Dell uses in the Precision M6500 laptop from about 3
years ago.
I have a few reasons for thinking fglrx isn't doing its job for this
chip:
(1) When I run "fglrxinfo", I get the following output:
cjc@awesome:~$ fglrxinfo
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
(2) When I run "amdcccle", I get a dialog box with this message:
There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux
edition. It could be caused by the following.
No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning
properly.
Please install the AMD driver appropriate for you AMD hardware, or configure
using aticonfig.
(3) When I run "aticonfig", I get this message:
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
