Fedora Hardware :: Prevent Fglrx Conflicting With Xorg But It Doesn't Seem To Work
Aug 4, 2011
I've been using Fedora 15 LXDE for a few weeks (its been great), and decided to install the ati proprietary drivers (I used the tutorial in one of the general strickies). As soon as I rebooted, I now get the following message:
Code:
Started SYSV: Late init script for live image... ATI external events daemon. into universal adresses I can type stuff using the cursor, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried adding 'runlevel 3' to the boot options in Grub to try and prevent fglrx conflicting with Xorg but it doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing something wrong.

I have problems with keyboard layout switcher. On Gnome everything works. But when I start to use other DE I can't switch keyboard layout by default. So I create xorg.conf, but anyway it doesn't work...

I have a new installation of 11.04 with an ATI Radeon HD 2400 video card that previously worked fine under an earlier release.
I tried installing the proprietary drivers through the Additional Drivers section, rebooted and the video is choppy (dragging windows, etc).
From other reports around the Internet I've read, it's clear I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
I tried the manual instructions, which turned out to be a mess and ultimately didn't work, either.

I'm trying to fix this problem: [URL] I have a problem with fglrx driver since Catalyst 9.9. After installation and reboot I get only black screen when X tries to start and keyboard doesn't work however when I press power button then the system shuts down properly after a while. I have noticed this for the first time on Hardy after installing Catalyst 9.9 and since then I have the same problem on Karmic and Catalyst 9.10/9.11 as well. I don't understand the bold text, What is this X he's talking about?

I recently installed debian on my ibook G4, but when I start up the computer, it doesn't boot into Xorg. When I tried to start Xorg, it says that it is not installed. How would I install it, and how would I start it? When I do the apt-get install xorg, it doesn't work. Right now I'm running ubuntu on it, but I really want just plain debian, as I really dont need all of the bells and whistles that Ubuntu offers. I just need something to do schoolwork on (I'm a highschool sophmore), and I don't want to use OS X for that as I like linux better (specifically debian and ubuntu).

I tried to install Debian 7 on a PowerMac G4, but when I try to start X, the screen simply goes blank and nothing happens. My GPU is a Radeon 7500 RV200. I tried using nomodeset and setting the resolution manually, but the same thing always happens: the screen just goes blank.

i was recently trying to run some opengl apps on ubuntu, and installed new drivers for intel. The problem is that now, every time it reaches login screen it crashes. I'd like to remove it, but i can't. Recovery console asks for root password. Is there a way to do it from a livecd?

A few days ago I ditched the user friendly world of Ubuntu and installed Debian Squeeze amd64 (testing) over it. I did not install the suggested Gnome 'X desktop' in favour of booting to the terminal and starting X once logged in as a user.
Everything was fine except for the fact Xvesa was used instead of Xorg as the system did not have the required Fglrx driver. I'm using an Acer ASPIRE 5536 with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics stuffed in it, which certainly beats intel GMA.
Unfortunately the drivers for it are proprietary.
On Ubuntu this was automatically detected and I was asked if I wanted to sell my soul and enable the restricted drivers. On debian however I have to download a shell-script of the ATI website to install the fglrx module.
Following this guide I downloaded the correct file (Under motherboard/something) and ran it as root.
I couldn't run it with any --buildpky Debian/XXX option, they all failed.
Code:
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
==================================================
Generating package: Debian/testing
cp: cannot stat `/root/fglrx-install.tCX8nC/x710_64a/*': No such file or directory
Package build failed!

I've just built a new system, the motherboard has an inbuilt ATI 4290 video (part of AMD GX890) and I'm using it with a Dell 2405 monitor. I've installed the latest Catalyst driver (10.6) from the AMD site, I can build the driver and X starts OK. The control panel for Catalyst says it will support 1920x1200 for a DVI connected screen - which mine is. When I start X it's always 1600x1200 and if I set the resolution via the Catalyst control panel, I get a display that has a black edge on the right of the monitor - about 1/4 of the screen.
At this point, I haven't tried setting any Modelines in xorg.conf as the fglrx driver is getting the information from the monitor via DDC and I'm assuming (probably a bad idea) that this data is correct.
Can anyone make any suggestions regarding this? Should I be setting Modelines regardless of what the driver gets from the monitor? Log files available if requested. Other that the 1600x1200 limitation, the system (AMD X6 1090t) runs very well.

I am using ubuntu 10.04 and made some changes in Xorg.conf to try enabling twinview. Unfortunately, Ubuntu just stops at the startup logo now. Is there a way I can stop the loading of X, so I can undo the error in Xorg.conf and hopefully make Ubuntu load normally again? Grub automatically loads Ubuntu, there is no Grub menu that allows loading of some alternative config.

I just installed Fedora 12. I have an NVidia FX 5200 card. This xorg.conf will work fine (no 3d acceleration, btw):
[Code]...
Now here's the odd part. If I uncomment the Device section and reboot or logout so that X restarts, my screen will not enter graphics mode. It just flashes on and off several times in text mode and finally stops. It's as if it keeps changing modes trying to get happy and never does.

Is it possible to import an xorg.conf file from Debian to Fedora and have it work? The reason for this is that I have an older monitor that only offers 800x600 as the maximum resolution.

I just updated to the new drivers. In my Xorg.0.log file, it doesn't show any errors. It just stop at a black screen. This might be a new bug with the binary drivers.

I'm running 10.04 on a Radeon HD 4650 card with fglrx. The driver installation went without a hitch, and the log file contained no errors.
When I try to run
Code:
aticonfig --initial
i get the response
Code:
Found fglrx primary device section
Unable to find any supported Screen sections
Running
[Code]....
My best guess is that I have to write an Xorg.conf file, in which I say what type of monitor I have.
I cannot do that, as I need to shut down the Xserver in order to make it generate my xorg.conf file. When I shut it down I get the black screen.

After installing proprietary graphics drivers for AMD A-50 APU graphics performance has been greatly increased. But two new problems have come up.
1. While playing video files clicking menus doesn't show anything, the video forcibly overrides the menus.
2. Videos always take the focus over other windows and applications.
For example, see the attached screenshot where actually terminal should come to the focus, but the video is overriding it.

I have an iMac which is able to run openSUSE whith some manual adjustments. However, fglrx is a naughty piece of driver that keeps stalling my normal boot. I have tried many different things already, with and without xorg.conf, with and without aticonfig --initial, nomodeset (as always), reinstall, etc etc but I can't figure it out.I am able to boot to runlevel 3, but init 5 gives me 2 black screens (Mac still responsive)
- iMac 27"
- Beamer connected
- using EFI/Elilo

Flgrx won't work w/switchable graphics using non-AMD chipset. I use core i5 with ati mobility radeon 5470 (so it doesn't have amd chipset). This is the X output when graphics mode in BIOS is set to switchable.

I ve got Eeebuntu 3.0 installed on one partition, and Fedora 12 installed on another, sharing the same /home partition, and within that, I have them sharing the same user folder. It complicates matters as Eeebuntu (with it's Ubuntu 9.04 base) still has Firefox 3.0.16, and Fedora has 3.5.6 (Adblock no longer works in Eeebuntu, I stupidly upgraded it in Fedora). I want to keep the same partition layout, but resolve these conflicts. Is there any way I can change the /home folder for Fedora, or Eeebuntu so that each one has different settings, but still be on the same /home partition?

Until some time ago I had a dual Windows 7 and Fedora operating system, then I completely moved to Fedora. Recently I have become interested in Scientific Linux and wanted to install it besides my Fedora. I took a back up of all my data and formatted my HDD for a clean install of both of them. This is what I did:
First I installed Scientific Linux with these partitions (contents of /etc/fstab):
[Code]...
Then I went on to install Fedora 15; I kept the same primary and extended partitions but only changed the names of "/FedoraRoot" to "/" and "/" to "/SLRoot" in the above list while installing Fedora. I also chose the boot directory of Fedora to be /dev/sda1/ which I wanted to be the /boot file for both systems while I had chosen the boot file for Scientific Linux to be "/dev/sda".
Everything went well until the final step of copying the files an error came that some of files that Fedora wanted to install in /usr/share, /usr/lib64, /usr/bin, /etc/system..., /etc/issue..., /etc/redhat-release... and /etc/rpm are already present in the Scientific Linux format and so there is a conflict and it has to terminate!!! I must have made some strange mistakes in the definitions

After upgrade to Lynx, all of my ATI drivers don't work. Whenever I try to run fglrxinfo I get " Segmentation fault " And for fgl_glxgears I get" Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer Segmentation fault " For sudo aticonfig --initial -f " Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-11 " Compiz does not work at all either.

So I was stupid and careless enough to buy system with ATI Radeon HD6850.I have Maverick installed (64 bit) and everything was fine yesterday, I did usual update and today I get text prompt.I tried everything I already learned and upgraded to Catalyst 11.2 too (built packages from downloader installer), but with no luck.I see that aticonfig is now recognizing my card, which is promissing, but I'm unable to get the system to work with fglrx anyway.
I've purged the fglrx and friends, removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and now I'm running on vesa with lower resolution.But I'm quite pissed off for loosing my morning on fixing (or failing to fix) yet another problem with ATI.
Code:
$ uname -r
2.6.35-27-generic
$ less /var/log/apt/history.log[code]..............
