It both works and doesn't work for me. The kernel module is fine, the X Server loads and seems to open the device correctly, but the screens stay blank, then turn off. The attached tar file has dmesg output and the Xorg and gpu-manager log files. The only thing I can see is the gpu-manager log complains that /dev/dri is absent.
I can force the screens to stay on ( but still blank ) by running amdconfig --initilal. The main change then is that ukiOpenDevice returns 9 rather than 11 ( can't find any documentation for this function - assume it is proprietary ). To add more strangeness, if I boot into recovery mode, and run 'startx' as the root user, I get an empty X desktop on display :1 that appears to be the Unity desktop without any menus/launchers, and no window manager. But I can run an X terminal and run gedit, eclipse, and firefox, from which I am writing this comment. However, the VTs that should be provided by fglrx do not work. This is with a new 15.10 installation ( keeping personal files ), not an upgrade, using an R9 290. It clearly works as an X server, but configuration or permissions in the installation must be askew. ** Attachment added: "Partially working..." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1493888/+attachment/4506836/+files/fglrx-bug.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
