Now, some interesting developments: this morning, I've decided to try again the latest fglrx driver, as provided by AMD/ATI (i.e. version April 16, 2008, released on April 16), after having completely removed the fglrx driver provided by Ubuntu repos. After installation/reboot, the result was the same as usual, i.e.:
fglrxinfo giving me: $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2) and Xorg.log indicating: (WW) fglrx(0): *********************************************** (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) * (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available * (WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* * Now, out of curiosity, I've tried something I've found in the following thread: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6062 Here's what I've tried: sudo rmmod fglrx (result: ERROR: Module fglrx does not exist in /proc/modules) cd /lib/modules/(kernel version)/misc/ sudo insmod fglrx.ko modprobe fglrx Then, Xserver restart. It worked! With this, fglrxinfo reports ATI stuff instead of Mesa stuff. -- Hardy: fglrx not working for ATI card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
