OK, "the reporter is confused" works for me. Clipped from Xorg.0.log:
[ 43.521] (==) RADEON(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 [ 43.521] (II) RADEON(0): Pixel depth = 24 bits stored in 4 bytes (32 bpp pixmaps) [ 43.521] (==) RADEON(0): Default visual is TrueColor [ 43.521] (==) RADEON(0): RGB weight 888 [ 43.522] (II) RADEON(0): Using 8 bits per RGB (8 bit DAC) [ 43.522] (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 4350" (ChipID = 0x954f) So, that's a pretty low-end card, but I like the xscreensavers-extras that appear to need 3D-acceleration, and I can't seem to get that working. NOTE: It was working under Ubuntu-13.04, but it's been an on-and-off. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Converted to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+question/238640 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247913 Title: fglrx (not installed): fglrx kernel module failed to build Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: NOT A UBUNTU PROBLEM, JUST MARK IT INVALID! Emailed suggestions welcome. !!! I'm trying the AMD Proprietary driver because nothing else seems to work (either). I seem to have a Radeon 4000-series card. (A second-hand eMachines box). Every time I have tried to get xscreensavers-extra working, I create a configuration that can't even start XWindows. This failure occurred while running dpkg --install amd-*.deb's from the AMD site.
