Title:
fglrx does not work with Radeon HD 6600M in Ubuntu 12.10 (EFI mode)
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am unable to get working video on my MacBook Pro 8,2 with a Radeon
HD 6600M running Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzel). I attempted to
install the driver (2:9.000-0ubuntu3) in the following manner:
sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
When I complete the last step part of the output is:
PowerXpress info: Diagnostic output from /usr/lib/fglrx/switchlibglx:
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative
/usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken
update alternatives: warning: not replacing
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules with a link
When I rebooted, I was forced to use low-graphics mode. I expected to
boot into Unity with graphics. It is worth noting that this problem
occurs in EFI mode. When I boot in BIOS mode, Unity does start.
However there are still periodic xorg crashes.
