The fglrx driver did work for me (ati 3200 onboard an Asrock A780-GM-LE) on the final 9.04 distribution of ubuntu with the 2.6.28-11-generic kernel. (with some issues) If you have jaunty-proposed ticked in software sources you did get a new 2.6.28-12 version of the kernel and fglrx crashes again. The opensource radeon driver works best for me. (minus 3d) It seems that everytime something updates the close source driver crashes, you could argue about flawed by design but this is probably not the place. -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was running Desktop 8.04 on my Lenovo T60 with a an ATI Radeon X1300. I upgraded to Desktop 8.10 in hopes of moving up to Desktop 9.04. Luckily the Upgrade Manager warned me that no 3d support is available for 9.04 - i.e. AMD has not released a usable, proprietary, binary driver to support my hardware. For me this does several things: * Stops me from upgrading to 9.04. * Requires that I not purchase AMD/ATI hardware _ever_ again (their support for their hardware under Linux has been simply horrible the entire time I've owned this laptop). * And, to continue my amazement at the piss-poor PR that AMD/ATI creates for Linux distros and hardware manufacturers everywhere. My laptop might be 3-year-old technology, but it's much more than capable. The problem is that laptop hardware that's 3-years old is no longer obsolete, but according to ATI it's not worth supporting (i.e., my X1300). Best of luck Ubuntu to applying whatever pressure you can. ATI continues their phenomenal ball-dropping. It's not like I'm on some exotic piece of equipment using some exotic OS - they just _simply don't get it_ Many thanks and best of luck. -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm, that specific hardware (T60 with a X1300 chip) is quite well supported by the open source driver.

A coworker has a similar system with equally good results. Aside from that, the only issue is occasional lines or corruption on the secondary (external) screen. I haven't been able to pinpoint it to a particular cause, but it's not really something that's overly annoying either.

I have ATI mobility X300 and I find radeon driver performance to be acceptable. However there's another problem that makes the driver unusable for me. It's the lack of support for powerplay technology. Using open-source driver my computer lasts just 1:20h on batter power as opposed to 2:30 on fglrx.

ROTFL. In this is Ubuntu developers attitude, I understand why bug #1 is still open.. guys intrepid still works... and remember it's closed-source-ati that isn't supported - and lets think how long ago it was since ati got any money for that card - how long should they support it? I think they've given value for money. However, the open source drivers _are_ being worked on for your card, and this is how bug #1 is being fixed. Thanks, that's a better answer than mine. It's been a busy week for me as you can imagine. The fact is, with -fglrx being a binary proprietary driver, we're limited in what we can do. There are of course some legal limitations due to the licensing, but also some real technical limitations. Let me explain just one. All software communicates via standardized protocols and interfaces. Video drivers also have specific interfaces they use to talk to the X server, its libraries, and the underlying Linux kernel. Over time these interfaces evolve. We can broadly divide these evolutions into two classes: code (API) incompatibility, and binary (ABI) incompatibility. Code incompatibility means that ALL of the drivers must be recoded to be usable with the new X server. It can be caused, for example, if a function that used to take one argument, now takes too. E.g., foo(bar) changes to foo(bar, baz). This affects even open source drivers! The good news with open source is that generally whomever introduces the breakage, at least then goes through all of the video drivers hosted at freedesktop.org and fixes them. As you can imagine, the X developers strive to avoid these kinds of breakages, since they're a lot of work. Proprietary drivers are not hosted at freedesktop.org, obviously, so don't get this help. Further, the vendors need to keep their ears open even to hear about the changes, and then must research into what the change was, and allocate the engineering resources to address it. Binary incompatible changes are simpler, at least for open source drivers. These come about when some data structure gets a new field added, for example. They don't break source code, it just requires a recompilation of the code. As such, upstream doesn't worry too much about introducing such changes as they need them, and thus typically every new xserver release will contain a few of these kinds of changes. With open source drivers, this ain't a big deal - here at the distro level we can just queue up rebuilds of all affected drivers... EXCEPT for binary drivers. With binary drivers, we don't have the source code, so we can't recompile them ourselves to address the ABI changes. Instead, we must wait for the upstream vendors to provide us with re-builds of their drivers. This is why when a new Ubuntu gets its new xserver (and/or new kernel), the binary drivers stop working, and you have to switch to the open drivers (which get rebuilt at the point we put in the new xserver). This is why you can get weird errors when you use an old -fglrx with a newer xserver. This is why you can (sometimes) use the '-ignoreABI' option to xserver to force it to load a driver with an ABI mismatch. Now to return to the original question - if the old -fglrx is having an ABI (or even API) mismatch with the newer xserver, why not provide the old xserver as well? After all, this is routinely done in other areas where we have an API change, such as programming languages. This would involve maintaining two complete parallel X.org trees, including all drivers, libraries, server, and so on. We'd need to develop and debug a mechanism that allows you to transparently uninstall one complete X stack, install the other, transition your config settings, and so on. It would double our bug fixing load (since we need to provide fixes to two complete sets of code). We'd have double the load for fixing security issues. We'd probably have a whole heap of user confusion since they are faced with a choice of two X stacks, and would need to figure out why they should care about one over the other. So thus my chuckle. Not because it's impossible - actually it would work, that's what makes it funny - just that it would be a gargantuan amount of effort and pain, and all that just to work around an ABI problem that could be solved trivially if we just had access to the source code, and that's the irony. A much better question would be, How do we get out of this situation so we all don't get hit by this again in the future? From all the above you can probably see, the best answer is an open source driver. Not an open sourced version of -fglrx, but rather an improved -ati that supports the same range of hardware and has equally good performance and

I question the level of support being provided through the -ati/-radeon driver for R5xx cards. -ati is broken with my R580 and it doesn't really seem like anyone cares too much about my bug report (342899). -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, you received a reply to your bug from an -ati triager within a day of your report, which you indicate partially helped. Compared with the many bugs in Launchpad which never get a reply, it seems you're getting pretty decent service. Take care that you don't confuse ATI/AMD's support for bug support in launchpad. They do not deal directly with ubuntu bug reports, only ones that we upstream to them. If you wonder whether we are upstreaming -ati bugs, indeed yes we are. Look at the upstream report: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+upstreamreport -ati has the highest % bugs upstreamed of all the major video drivers. AMD employs an engineer to work on -ati bugs, and indeed of the bugs I've upstreamed, he responds and usually fixes the majority of them. So you may question their level of support, but I don't! If you are anxious to get your issue upstreamed, you're welcome to upstream it yourself. We've documented the guidelines for doing this here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Triaging#Reporting X issues upstream Bryce -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For anyone who might be going back and forth between -ati and -fglrx, note that -fglrx doesn't uninstall very cleanly. In my testing I found after installing -fglrx that -ati would no longer work. I've documented the procedure for manually uninstalling it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver I tested the procedure a few times with two ATI cards and found it worked okay.

[Bug 313027] Re: MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6
We can't fix it, it's AMD:s responsibility to fix their driver, and they are aware of it.. The same happened during 8.10 cycle, and they released an unofficial driver just for ubuntu a week before release or so. I find this attitude counterproductive and naive. Not being a developer myself, I can't claim to have pushed the Linux movement forward beyond having reported a few dozen bugs on one forum or another, but isn't an issue like this larger than just one development team? Of course AMD does need to update their drivers as kernels and x-window servers evolve, but don't the kernel and x-window development teams also have a responsibility to work toward more compatible products? At the very least this issue is divided two ways: between the AMD development team and the X-Org development team. As I see it, the X-Org team is responsible for developing a more flexible, stable, and compatible server while the AMD team is responsible for making a more universal driver. It's not productive to say we should just wait for one team to work it out, especially one with no obligation to comply. The AMD team has been great about keeping up with evolving distros, but keep in mind those guys are actually paid for the work which they distribute for free, so the decision to update probably comes from higher-ups who may not see the problem as the driver they've been pouring money into, but the X-Org server which has broken compatibility with it. The X-Org team, as volunteers, have no obligation to consider proprietary software support in their plans, but at least a few developers do make patches to supplement the main tree for these issues. Why? Lots of reasons, but the most important being: it is necessary and it is good for development. By fixing up the server to be compatible with another driver, proprietary or otherwise, the server becomes a better product. Also, while I do sincerely hope that the open-source ATI driver will one day offer all the features of the hardware it's designed for, it does not and will not for quite a while yet. From the average user point of view, not the open-source freedom fighter, this driver is a severe downgrade and regression from the proprietary; from the Aunt Tillie point of view, It don't work. and both are reason enough for many people to give up on the distro entirely, stop testing, stop reporting bugs, and switch to some proprietary operating system that gives them what they want even though it costs much more. That's bad for development and that's bad for Linux, not only Ubuntu. tl;dr: Doing nothing is never the answer. Dev teams should work toward mutual rather than independent growth for the good of Linux. Also, regarding the bug: Has anyone had experience compiling their own X-Org server and using the proprietary driver? Is it possible for the X-Org server from Intrepid be forward-ported to Jaunty in the interim? It looks like more data on where exactly this breaks down must be found if the X-Org developers are to come up with a patch OR the AMD developers are going to rework their driver. -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 313027] Re: MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6
I find this attitude counterproductive and naive. That comment is pretty hurtful to the devs, who volunteer their time (and I'm not one of them). I think you should reconsider your position: either move back to intrepid (where your hardware is supported), wait till the fglrx driver becomes available or look into the open source drivers. No one is forcing you to use jaunty. The whole premise of your argument is that the fglrx driver isn't being developed fast enough for you, but you can't ask people to fix the fglrx closed source driver - they don't have the source. You also can't expect them to build support for your card from scratch overnight. Open source support is coming in the radeon and radeonhd drivers, and for many people it's already there. At the very least this issue is divided two ways: between the AMD development team and the X-Org development team. As I see it, the X-Org team is responsible for developing a more flexible, stable, and compatible server while the AMD team is responsible for making a more universal driver. Why do you think you should be allowed to dictate the priorities of the X-Org team? And why do you think you should be able to enforce anything on the AMD team who have put out a binary blob? If you want stability, use the open source drivers, where these issues don't come up. You might want to take note that the comparable nvidia driver was already released last month, so if anyone has the right to complain about the shifting API, it should be the nvidia crew, who seem to be putting the most effort into keeping up with it - but I don't seem to be hearing any grumbling coming from them anywhere. I have also heard that AMD has also been very supportive of providing documentation for the development of open source drivers for their hardware - I think you can see where the priorities will be shifting in the future. At any rate, I think there are several viable solutions available to you, depending on your hardware. This afternoon, I discovered that removing all of the fglrx packages and switching to ati (radeon) driver actually gave me better performance on my card than fglrx ever did, and allowed me to get compiz running again. (You can find instructions on how to do this on several forums and wikis...) So, rather than complaining about the closed source drives, give the open source ones a shot - you might be surprised at how much these people have already done with the resources available to them. Meanwhile, if you want the driver put out by ATI, you'll either have to send letters to *them* to hurry up, or you can join the rest of the people and just wait.

[Bug 313027] Re: MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6
fejes, I think you have misunderstood quequotion's point of view: His opinion is that the X-Server that is used in Jaunty should be held back on this release until the fglrx drivers have had time to catch up and are compatible. He was neither criticising the X developers not the STI team but stating their point of view thus explaining why releasing the older version of X would be the saner point of view. One could argue that Ubuntu's only priority should be the open drivers and that the closed source drivers should be secondary but that is somewhat a closed perspective as it does seem to me that most use the closed drivers as they are superior to the open ones. This does not help the development of the open drivers but is an unavoidable way that things work. One could also argue that if the ATI team do not have the imputus to develop for the new version of X (because no one is using that version of X) they never will and X will become stagnant. I do not see this as the case as the fglrx drivers have continued development with no other impetus than normal market forces and I don't see that changing. My point (and quequotion's) being is that holding back X should be considered as it would aid to stability and compatibility with the X server that we have at the moment. -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 313027] Re: MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6
Hi David, I think we all understood your (and quequotion's) point, but the heart of the matter (in my mind) is that jaunty is not yet final release software, so why should it feel constrained to being a stable release? Presumably the dev team is building into it the functionality that they believe will be stable by the time it is released. It's just hardly fair to suggest that they should wait for the closed source functionality to exist before migrating to the new XOrg, when there's a pretty good chance the drivers will follow in short order. If you'd like stability, should you be running an alpha release of your OS? -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Today I improved my knowledge about the drivers ati and radeon: For those on r5xx considering -ati and are confused why they use -radeon, The ati driver is a small wrapper that probes your card and then loads the appropriate driver, either radeon, r128, or atimisc. (see http://www.x.org/wiki/ati ). For r5xx cards this means the radeon driver from package xserver-xorg- video-radeon is used. Hope this information helps to reduce confusion.
