Same problem here. I installed Edgy RC, updated it. Installed fglrx from synaptic, plus linux-restricted-modules-generic, added fglrx to /etc/modules and xorg.conf, rebooted, DRI doesn't work. lsmod reports the fglrx module as being loaded, in /var/log/messages, the only fglrx related kernel message suggests that the module was loaded fine, and in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it says that DRI failed to initialize, suggesting that the kernel module might be bad.
I wanted to try the newer (version 9 something), from the ATI website, but they say that they dropped support for anything older than a Radeon 9500, which is bad luck as I have a 9250 (RV280) !! :-/ -- Edgy Eft - fglrx module not started https://launchpad.net/bugs/57716 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
