[Bug 194892] Re: No DRI using fglrx through restricted driver manager
Can someone please check this on Hardy against the latest fglrx driver in the archive? Loye and CybArc, from your Xorg.0.log's it looks like you're testing on Gutsy, but the original report was about a Hardy problem. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- No DRI using fglrx through restricted driver manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194892 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 194892] Re: No DRI using fglrx through restricted driver manager
Thanks for confirming it as fixed. Unfortunately, because fglrx is a proprietary binary, it's not something that can be SRU'd, so the Gutsy release task isn't going to be doable. Instead, I would suggest use of Envy to install a newer version of -fglrx onto Gutsy. Envy is not officially supported by Canonical on Gutsy, but we have worked closely with the Envy developers for its use with Hardy to ensure it co-exists properly with l-r-m. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- No DRI using fglrx through restricted driver manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194892 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 194892] Re: No DRI using fglrx through restricted driver manager
While solid progress is being made, the fglrx driver (whether from ATI or Ubuntu) are not perfect. The following documents my experience, in hopes of assisting the developers in improving the driver. I finally did get the driver to work with all the compiz bells and whistles, but I cannot now remember all of what I did. (I should have written it down!) There are a few things I do remember, however: --The proprietary driver flat doesn't work using the rt kernel. I'm informed that the developers are working to rectify that issue, but that's the story for now. --There are a few issues with the /usr/bin/compiz script: -- Certain paths are incorrect. Edit /usr/local/* --- /usr/* --The file /etc/xdg/compiz/compizmanager sometimes gets hosed up. See http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?p=49857 Make sure you don't have a circular reference from compizmanager to compizmanager.ubuntu (I just deleted the .ubuntu one and commented out the reference to it in the regular one.) Installed ATI Official driver in addition to restricted, Won't work. You'll have to purge them both, CLEAR THE PACKAGE CACHE by running aptitude clean, reboot, and then install one or the other. In my experience, the ATI official works and restricted doesn't, but that may be simply because of my greater familiarity with the former over the later. I'll first make some general comments and then address the specifics of your issue. I assume that you have a good handle on installing the ATI drivers using the --buildpkg flag. When installing, I found gdebi to be helpful as a command line tool from the directory where the newly created .deb files are. One of the particular issues is to prevent the Ubuntu drivers from being installed. One convenient way is simply to unplug the network cable while you are installing the new .deb files. If you have cleaned the package cache, apt can't grab the wrong package because it can't get to the internet to download it. Be sure you install the .deb packages in the correct order: first the kernel source package, then fglrx, then fglrx-dev, and finally amdcccle. Reboot. USING THE CONSOLE (i.e., one of tty1 through tty6), NOT A TERMINAL IN X, copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.something, and run aticonfig --initial -f --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf. Then use nano to edit the new xorg.conf. If you can't see the console by pressing Ctl-Alt-F2, see this very long, tortured, and heated discussion about the broken console in Bug #129910. You may need to adjust for your monitor. Here's something I wrote about how to ensure proper configuration for your monitor: https://bugs.launchpad.net/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/150426/comments/3 (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:0:1) found Add the following to your Device section of xorg.conf: BusID PCI:3:0:1 Add at the end of your xorg.conf: Section DRI Mode 0660 EndSection After doing all the above (yes, it's painful), reboot, try to enable the eye-candy, and report back the results. If I in the meantime remember more, I'll post.

Thanks for confirming it as fixed. I didn't confirm as fixed. I confirmed that it's a bug. because fglrx is a proprietary binary, it's not something that can be SRU'd It's not the driver per se, but how it gets implemented that's the problem. It should NOT take this much brain damage to make it work, whether using the ATI official or the Ubuntu restricted-drivers fglrx. I would suggest use of Envy . . .

[Bug 194892] Re: No DRI using fglrx through restricted driver manager
I am getting the same error, with the latest, greatest driver, on a new computer with ATI X1250 integrated on an ASUS M2A-V motherboard. Interestingly, everything worked correctly until I installed UbuntuStudio, which installs the rt kernel. I couldn't get fglrx to work with the rt driver, so I reinstalled the generic kernel, the restricted modules, and the fglrx driver. Restricted Drivers Manager says the ATI proprietary driver is enabled and running.
