fglrx driver in debian squeeze in limbo - any ideas?
This sucks. Stupid closed source drivers cause such problems. Any workaround I can do? I need to build the fglrx driver for debian squeeze (ati radeon hd 4550 card), but I just saw this bug saying the packages have been removed from testing due to a conflict with the x.org transition. The packages referred to here: http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary such as fglrx-control and fglrx-driver are no longer available so what should I do? I don't know when the x.org transition will be finished and I really want 3D acceleration so I can play my games :( So for now I must use the open source radeon driver which cannot do 3D :( Zach http://www.fidei.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I don't have problems with nvidia, but when fglrx-9-12 came out, it broke compiz, so I reinstalled 9-11, and put it on hold. I haven't upgraded it in months. --b

Greetings, Hi, what exactly is broken ? As a workaround you could use Sid packages if Squeeze's are in bad shape. I have two mostly Squeeze (amd64, kde with desktop effects enabled) machines running Sid's fglrx at the moment and they seem fine, glxinfo and fglrxinfo doesn't spit any error, xorg logs doesn't contain errors, and the few OpenGl stuff I just tried are working fine (namely Torcs and xmoto).

I just mentioned that for me fglrx from Sid is working fine. I am sorry if everyone is wrong, but your message trimming suggest I am everyone all by myself... I like your prompt by the way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
