djchandler, I understand completely your predicament, as I am in the same situation (Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934). What I did to WORKAROUND the Radeon overheat issue was to utilize cpu governoring, as outlined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower . Despite this, as is known, the root cause remains is that AMD has made a conscious decision to not continue support of their closed source, proprietary drivers (fglrx-*) for later kernel versions with the HD 2000-4000 graphics cards. As a best possible, but infinitely unlikely case, the Ubuntu Community could implement (and already initiated via PPAs) hack-arounds, where tweaking open source packages that interact with fglrx enables it to work on later kernel versions. The problem with this of course is that we have no formal support from AMD, and the Ubuntu Community would be solely responsible for formally maintaining this heroic effort. This is not getting into the discussion of how would AMD perceive, let alone sanction this action if formalized (kind of embarrassing that an open source community is "picking up the slack" for something one would argue AMD should be maintaining). While I would absolutely love to see this type of support, I would never expect this due to the above, and given if the hack-arounded packages require a security package that breaks this functionality many people would rely on, it could be quite some time before a fix would be in place, if ever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

G'day djchandler, It sounds like you are in a bad situation. I'm not sure if my comments will help, but I thought I'd try anyway. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack if you install the 12.04.0 or 12.04.1 point release and update you will remain on the original Precise stack and not be updated to the Quantal or Raring HWE stacks. Old fglrx drivers wont work with new kernels, but old drivers and old kernels should work together just fine, so I'm not sure what is going on there - can you provide more details? The above problem not withstanding, it's not really Ubuntu's fault that support for your older hardware is diminishing, but rather it is AMD's fault. Perhaps instead we can get the open source Radeon driver working for you. The Linux 3.6 kernel finally enabled Radeon PCI Express 2.0 support by default and the Linux 3.8 kernel introduces a-synchronous DMA support. These changes have been demonstrated to make the open source Radeon driver much faster. HDMI audio support is also re-enabled by default and can be turned on and off with xrandr. The 3.11 kernel finally introduced full Radeon power management (DPM) support which was further refined and enabled for more hardware in the 3.13 kernel used in Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr". This latter item should make your laptop run cooler, although if it's 5+ years old dust buildup could be part of the problem. Either dismantle it (I presume it's out of warranty) and clean out the dust or just run a vacuum cleaner nozzle along the external air vents. Your older hardware does not need updated Radeon firmware files for DPM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

And the Open Source x.org radeon driver still overheats, especially on laptops. This has been a problem for at least 4 years that I'm aware of, and not getting perceptibly any better. My 5+ year old Tosh laptop (RS780 graphics aka Radeon 3100 found in the AMD 780V chipset) was fine with the fglrx driver and I was able to force the 2.8x version until I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04. You can no longer downgrade back to an old copy of 12.04 and force the old version even though it's in the repositories unless you still have your first .iso download with the very oldest 3.2 kernel. Any version of 12.04 I can see to download now with the oldest 3.2 kernel I can find won't install the 2.8x driver, apparently because there's no kernel support for the older drivers (fails sanity check). Somehow the problem has been compounded within the OS community after AMD forked their support for so-called legacy GPUs and the Radeon 5xxx GPUs and newer. I started using Linux 12 or so years ago because it would run on older hardware after MS or Apple discontinued OS support for a given configuration. It looks like Canonical is getting more and more like Apple and Microsoft. Now if your hardware is over 5 years old, you're treated like some sort of Luddite. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I neglected to say that to use the new DPM power management for the AMD/ATI Radeon you will need to select it at boot by adding radeon.dpm=1 to your GRUB kernel boot options as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Editing_the_GRUB_2_Menu_During_Boot If you have R700 or newer hardware (other than APUs) you will also need to install the latest AMD graphics microcode (ucode) files to /lib/firmware/radeon These are available at http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/ Get the version ending in "smc". R700 basically means Radeon HD 4000 series and newer. However note that according to Wikipedia and http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index5h2 the Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250 is a RV620 chip, so anyone with one of those shouldn't need the updated firmware files. Unlike the older dynpm method, the new DPM method works with multiple monitors and there shouldn't be any flickering as the performance level changes are handled by dedicated hardware rather than the driver. The currently under-development 3.13 upstream kernel enables DPM by default (without needing the radeon.dpm=1 boot parameter I mentioned above) for Radeon HD 4000 through Radeon HD 7000 series graphics processors but with some specific ASICs being excluded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

G'day Andrew and Alan.

@madbiologist: the article incorrectly reports Xserver 1.13 support (the 13-1 legacy driver does not support it), so the news is irrelevant to this bug. The main change in the 13-1 legacy driver is better support for some Steam games.

madbiologist / Max Bowsher, thank you for your comments. As this bug report has a clear focus on the Radeon legacy 12.6 drivers for Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 series cards, the Ubuntu X team (fglrx-installer maintainers) are aware of this problem, AMD is aware of this problem, and this report has been marked Triaged, again, it would be demonstrably more helpful if Max Bowsher creates a new report as requested of him in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/1058040/comments/47 , so his hardware, driver, and solution may be tracked and addressed appropriately. This is as per Ubuntu X.Org team (maintainers of fglrx-installer), Ubuntu Bug Control, and Ubuntu Bug Squad policy and preferences: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue and the Ubuntu Community article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it. Please note, not filing a new report may delay your problem being addressed as quickly as possible.

Yes, I noticed that in the Catalyst 12.11 beta release notes too. Even they don't mention the FirePro V5700, so I think we can consider it dropped - what do you say Christopher? Regarding their mention of the FireStream 9250, it would be odd to reintroduce support for a card that was not supported in previous versions and given Max's descriptions of the errors and inconsistencies in other parts of the AMD website I strongly suspect the FireStream 9250 has been mentioned in error. Dave Lentz also thinks so. And it's only a beta driver, not a final version, which means that the release notes are also a beta version and not a final version. The conclusive way to determine this would be to test that driver on the FireStream 9250 on an earlier version of Ubuntu which does not have XServer 1.13. @Sean, if you are still reading this, are you able to test the Catalyst 12.11 beta driver on Ubuntu 12.04?

lspci has this to say about it: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV730 [FirePro V5700] The balance of evidence regarding the FirePro V5700 seems to be support was dropped in 8.982, and the AMD website is just getting it wrong when it offers 8.982.x for the FirePro V5700 in some combinations of clicking through the driver selector forms. The balance of evidence regarding the FireStream cards seems confused. The PDF release notes linked from individual driver versions at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/fire/previous/Pages/fire_linux.aspx suggest support dropped, whilst http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion1211BetaReleaseNotes.aspx is contradictory to this, suggesting support continues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1058040] Re: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal
So much for not making any more changes until we establish the facts :( According to the release notes for the drivers listed at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/fire/previous/Pages/fire_linux.aspx the last driver to support the FirePro V5700 and the FireStream 9250 is 8.911.3.4, released on 20th June 2012. This driver was designed to support Ubuntu 10.10. It's "Known issues" section lists no bugs for the FirePro V5700 or the FireStream 9250 which match this one. The next driver, 8.982.2, released on 7th August 2012, includes support for Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04, but no longer lists support for the FirePro V5700 or the FireStream 9250. The latest driver is 8.982.8.1, released on 25th September 2012 - it also does not list support for the FirePro V5700 or the FireStream 9250. Are we in agreement now that AMD has dropped support for these cards? Also, the chip information that I posted was not from Wikipedia.

My FirePro V5700 ceased to work with the fglrx driver with the exact same update, in the exact same way, as described here, and has the same underlying chip as Radeon HDs known to be affected. The AMD website is hardly a shining example of consistency - there's an 8.982 Linux driver offered for the FirePro V5700 at http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx if you select "Workstation Graphics" and "FirePro Performance Pre-WHQL Driver". The weight of evidence is certainly sufficient to convince me that it's all one issue. If AMD ever come up with a driver that supports the Radeon HD [234]xxx on X server 1.13 but does not support my FirePro, I'll reconsider. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058040 Title: fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1058040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi there, Nice to see, that my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx is working for most of you. As it goes to the rest: try only to downgrade X-Server using my PPA, but install drivers according to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/993427/comments/14 .
