OpenSUSE Hardware :: Ati Radeon 5670 Fglrx With 11.2 (x64)?
Mar 18, 2010
I have a problem with the Radeon 5670 and the fglrx driver in opensuse11.2. I've created a rpm from the newest ati*x86_64.run (catalyst10.2, witch should support the radeon 5600 series) and installed it following the "ATI-the hard way" instructions. Here is the resulting Xorg.0.log:
Code:
X.Org X Server 1.6.5
Release Date: 2009-10-11
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX
Current Operating System: Linux sissipc 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-01-27 08:20:11 +0100 x86_64

"PCI bus 1 card 5 func 0" seems to be the Onboard-Graphics (Radeon 3200) and "PCI bus 2 card 0 func 0" i think is the Radeon5670 set as primary graphics adapter in the BIOS

I have the ATI Radeon HD 5670. I recently wiped my system, doing a full install (not update) to 10.04 LTS. Everything works fine except for the mouse.
I have about 30 seconds of lag-free mouse movement, and after that, the mouse slows to a crawl. I then have to wait for about a minute and then the mouse becomes usable again. (If i continue to use the mouse, it stays unusable, until i give it a rest)
Current drivers in use are the FGLRX from the Ubuntu restricted drivers.
Does anyone know how to fix it? or what causes it? Let me know what other information you need and I will do my best to provide it.
I just added 2 more hard-drives to the system. Before this I did not have a "swap" space. I also replaced the mouse. The problem seems to have gone away.

I've been using fglrx since 11.3 came out, and I just upgraded to 11.4 today and noticed that my graphics card is now supported by the open-source radeon driver. I was trying to switch, but was never able to properly switch the driver and get radeon running. I've read many of the help pages, but still am unable to actually get radeon working.
Perhaps I'm missing something, such as not properly removing fglrx, but I'm not too sure.

I'm having trouble getting back Desktop effects when I try to go to the radeon drivers from fglrx. It worked when I first installed and it works on a live cd. My main reason for going back is because A. Brightness settings don't work on my laptop with fglrx. and B. Gnome-shell isn't working with fglrx.
I have a radeon 3100 (I think).

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.

I installed the fglrx drivers in Ubuntu Natty for a ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card. Although compiz seems to work better, everything seems to be a blurry as compared to the generic graphics or while under Windows 7.For example, every other line displayed here while I type is more blurry than the others.I have a dual screen setup.

coming back to linux after a few years away and I'm trying to get it set up on my Asus G73JH laptop. Problem is the closed-source drivers aren't playing nice. I can get it to start with the "radeon" driver but when I try to use fglrx, either through a manual xorg.conf change or aticonfig, I get a black screen (or a couple times a white blob moving across the screen) and then the system hangs. The biggest problem with this is I can't access the output from the X server and nothing is being written to the log files (probably because I have to hard-reboot). I've googled and read just about everything I can and I'm pretty much lost for ideas now. I'm not too good with troubleshooting Linux since it's been a while but there are a couple things that would be really helpful to me: a way to save whatever X puts out before the system hangs and a comparison from someone who plays decently graphics-intensive games between fglrx and the open source driver because I don't mind using the open source drivers as long as performance is comparable. Any extra information I can post I will as requested but I think being able to review the X output is a good place to start!

I have been trying to install the FGLRX driver for a Radeon HD 4850. According to this page and others on the web, it says that Xorg 7.5 isn't supported by the driver. I was just wondering is it possible to install Xorg 7.4 on Fedora 12, if not what release of Fedora should I use (i.e does Fedora 11 support Xorg 7.4?)

i tried setting up fglrx driver for my card using the steps outlined here: wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary
but when I get to the step where it tells me to use aticonfig i get this error: Code: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected I tried to make xorg.conf myself by doing what it says and making this the xorg.conf file:
[Code]...
but X won't start if I do that (delete xorg.conf and it goes back to it's fglrx-less state) However, I was successfully able to install the drivers on my Ubuntu install (different partition on the same machine) but not my Debian install.

I've set up this new PC, the graphic card I picked is the ATI R7 260X, pretty good card with lots of core processors, high clock and 2GB memory. I'm now currently using the 14.4 catalyst drive, it works actually alright, though, there are some mishaps with this driver:
First my hdmi screen had scale down, leaving black borders around, even though the catalyst control said the correct native resolution, this turned out to be a underscan that fglrx does and I've finally managed to fix it. Other caveat is that the screen simply won't suspend or turn off( via software), DPMS actually works, forcing it turns the screen blank for some seconds but something does not allow the screen to sleep.
Performance wise it seems pretty good though, everything is pretty smooth, being able to play games maxed out on resolution and ultra settings, though, I still haven't tested out that many games.
The open-source radeon on the other hand, well its open-source, fully xorg and linux compatible, which is a major plus point. It seem it has come a long way, supporting lot of features and providing better performance in some cases.
Before installing Catalyst I had issues with mesa and steam, steam would complain about not finding the 32bit libraries, this is however a steam runtime issue, maybe it could already be fixed.

I'm owning an old single Core AMD (Opteron 148, like Athlon 64 3200+), it can't play h264 1080p-Videos without framedrops in active scenes. I'm also owning an not so old AMD/Ati Radeon HD 2400. It's not an UVD2 card, it's not even UVD+, its UVD i.e. UVD1. All articles regarding GPU h264 decoding I've found so far are saying "for vaapi gpu decoding on linux you need to have a UVD2 card". That's wrong! My UVD1-Card is playing fine some demo movies.
Setup:
Ubuntu "Lucid" 10.4
"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/cutting-edge-multimedia/ubuntu lucid main" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cutting-edge-multimedia.list
[code]....
(With the original Ubuntu Lucid fglrx (8.723) there's some error, I don't remember the words. It doesn't work for me)It's working. I can play h.264 HD Videos with mplayer and decode it with a Radeon GPU. vlc 1.2 not working so far. It seems it's decoding fine, but screen remains green. Here's a screenshot, no fake! It's a two Monitor setup with fglrx' big Desktop. On the right there's running a movie Trailer (I Am Legend) and on the left there's some status info. Quality is not perfect (as you can see, horizontal displacement), but it's basically working.

I seem to have disrupted my display manager when I installed fglrx from the Ati repository,
I was trying to update the graphics drivers as i am getting a screen flicker every 10-15 seconds and its beginning to annoy me, so I add the ATi repository in yast, installed 'fglrx' and rebooted.
Everything went as it should until the graphical loader showed the bar at about 50% and the screen went black, my monitor reports that its out of range after a minute or so.
My graphics card is a HD4650 and the max res of my screen is 75Hz,
Ive managed to get the command line by booting to Failsafe and started KDM manually and i get the same thing.
Im assuming that the driver is correct but is setting the resolution or refresh rate too high?
Has anyone else had this problem? and can someone point me in the direction of editing aticonfig?

I did a fresh install of openSUSE 11.2 32 bit today and installed all updates. I also installed the kernel sources and kernel symbols. Finally I installed the ATI drivers from http:///www2.ati.com/suse/11.2. The drivers didn't work after that, so I tried to run the 32 bit driver installer suitable for my gfx card (Radeon X800 XT PE -> v9.3), where I got the following error message:
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager

which: no XFree86 in (/usr/lib/mpi/gcc/openmpi/bin:/home/schaeff/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin)
Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version
[code]....
I had no such problems with openSUSE 11.1 32 bit. Is there a way to install the drivers on my system? If yes, how would I do it?

I'm running openSUSE 11.4 64 bit, KDE 4.7 with latest fglrx drivers. My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6 with a ATi Mobility Radeon HD5650M.
The drivers themselves work fine, I get quite a good acceleration and I can choose between discrete and dedicated graphics just fine, but when I plug in the HDMI cable from my TV it just doesn't detect it. It works fine on Windows version of ATi CCC, but when I open CCC in openSUSE I only see my notebook's monitor, not a sign of the HDMI cable plugged in.

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)

I am running Suse 11.3 with two monitors and two video controllers -- an ATI controller on the motherboard and a separate PCI ATI board. After some startup problems, I got the onboard video working properly with the "nomodeset" command on boot, but the other display is blank. Thinking it might be the driver, I downloaded the fglrx driver (via YAST2). But now when the system boots it never opens X windows. I looked at the Xorg.0.log file and I'm getting a bunch of WW errors and then a seg fault.
The file /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/installer.html says I can uninstall the driver using the fglrx-uninstall.sh script, but I can't find such a script. How do I disable (uninstall, remove, get rid of) the fglrx driver and get back to where I was? I'm dead in the water if I can't get X going.

I've been reading about a temporary solution to the kernel/Fglrx issue caused by the last kernel update, but I haven't read about any permanent solution to this issue. Anyone know anything about a permanent solution (new kernel update?, new Fglrx driver?) to this compilation error?

I have an HP laptop running 11.3/KDE4.5.2, has integrated HD3200 ati graphics.
Yesterday, ATI version 10.10 fglrx driver was installed on the system, kernel was 2.6.34.7-0.4-desktop. I use the "build rpm" option with the downloads from ATI. All seemed running well.
I had installed the automatic recompile script posted by please_try_again after moving to 2.6.34.7-04, so today's new 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop update was a chance to see it in action.
After the update and reboot, the X server restarted so I have to assume the automatic recompile script ran, although I did not see any messaging (place to look?).
However, some things did not seem "quite right". fgl_glxgears ran, but seemed slow (only 70 or so fps) pm-suspend failed to sleep the machine, I see the error message "s2ram_do: Device or resource busy" in /var/log/pm-suspend.log, which I think (?) is fglrx related but not sure why I think that. I moved to a root terminal, init 3, removed the fglrx rpm with yast, deleted the fglrx rpm and rebuilt a new one with ati....run. I then installed the new rpm (with yast), ran aticonfig --initial, then rebooted.
Basically, I am at the same level as above, fglrx installed and running, but slow and pm-suspend still not working.
So now I wonder if there is a new problem with the -5 kernel update, something like the excitement a couple weeks back when we had to patch the driver (or the kernel symbols) just to get a compile.
Can i assume someone has been able to cleanly update to 2.6.34.7-0.5 and get their fglrx running again?
An observation, which may or may not be related to my issues. The fglrx rpm installs a new /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, but in reviewing the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it never appears to load. Two other *dri*.so modules do load. There is no "dri" section in Xorg.conf; I seem to recall there being one a while back, but much seems to be changing there.

That's it guys. I have successfully installed the proprietary ati drivers in past 6.34 and 6.35 kernels but not in latest .6.36. I'm wondering if this have something to do with compatibility or not.
Installation log shows me some errors I can't recognize:

OpenSuse 11.2
linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64
ATI fglrx video driver v10.4
ATI radeon hd3200 video adapter
VirtualBox (any version) crashes at startup if the video acceleration options are enabled. This was not a problem before installing fglrx. The crash occurs when VirtualBox queries the video driver about OpenGL, I am guessing from the log file.
To (supposedly) have access to all of the features possible in the video adapter I installed the ATI fglrx video driver. I (apparently foolishly) chose the custom, installation-specific path rather than the more general default path.
After installing the driver I saw no observable improvement in performance or feature set. Worse, there are couple of new features that are decidedly undesirable, and cannot be disabled. At least one pre-loaded font simply disappeared.
So I reverted to the original (open source?) radeon driver ("sax2 -r -m 0=radeon" at runlevel 3). All seemed welluntil I ran VirtualBox.
One thing I have not tried is to run the fglrx default installation. I fear making things worse.
Can anyone suggest what might have happened with the fglrx installation, and how to fix it?

I've installed fglrx drivers with 1click install on openSuse11.3. If I try to boot in "normal mode" I end up in black screen. However if I boot in safe mode, then login and startx, everything works ok
Code:
~> fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.3.10151 Compatibility Profile Context
Shows fglrx works OK, as well as overall performance is pretty good.
I've done
Code:
aticonfig --initial
radeon drivers is also blacklisted
but running (if it means something)
Code:
# depmod -a; lsmod | grep radeon

I replaced an ATI Radeon 9550 with a Radeon X1300/X1550, in hopes of better performance.
My System: P4@3GHz, 1.5Gb RAM, Fedora 12, kernel 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.
Faults: Screen refresh is extremely low. Glxgears outputs 25 FPS. Dragging windows around is sometimes really slow.
What I did so far, in hope of fixing it:
1. Installed 'system-config-display', for providing an xorg.conf
2. Did: yum --enablerepo=rawhide update mesa-dri-drivers-experimental mesa*, fixing this, but to no avail...
I cannot find any errors in the log...I don't know what to do...
I am posting my Xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log and Glxinfo through links to pastebin.com
POST UPDATE:
When running GlxGears, I get a bit of motion, and then the gears freeze for 1 second. And this goes on and on. But...if I move the mouse around, I get 1100FPS!
Now I messed a bit with xorg.conf and the "SWCursor" Option, but the above happens when this option is on "true". On "false" there is no 1100FPS, only the freezing loop...

I been searching for months on how to get the s-video to work on my pci VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] card. I found a site with instructions.
This is how I got it to work.
I install Debian 5.0 Lenny Desktop
added the Driver "radeon" to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
This work and I was able to use my tv as a monitor however when I try to play a video file from totem or vlc all I could get was audio with no video; These files work and played fine in the CRT monitor.

I am running openSUSE 11.0 on a Toshiba laptop with the ATI Radeon HD3650 graphic card. After installing the ATI drivers using the "1-click-install" feature found in the suse wiki, the 3D acceleration seems to be working... sort of.
[Code]...
I haven't tried to launch Compiz. However when I try the OpenGL screensavers, they run fine in the preview but when I test them, they only show in what seems a 640*480 portion of the screen in the top left corner. The rest of my 1200*800 screen is blank.

I consider setting up a new system with one of the upcoming new Radeon graphics cards. I would like to know whether this is possible or whether there is a problem I overlooked.
I thought of setting up the system with vesa mode and afterwords downloading/installing the latest radeon or fglrx driver as soon as they are available.would that work? how long does it typically take until these drivers are available?

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 video card on openSUSE 11.2 and I wish to enable 3D acceleration to get all the eye-candy working. As I understand it, fglrx will not work because ATI has relegated support of this video card to the legacy driver, which does not support the latest version of X. This leaves me to use the open source radeon driver. 3D acceleration works here, but when I move windows around I get lines on my screen suggesting something wrong with the refresh rate. Are there any modifications I can make to my xorg.conf file so that I can get acceptable performance with this video card, or am I relegated to using NVidia video cards?

I've installed openSUSE 11.3, and I want to have hardware 3D acceleration on my Radeon 5850. Far as I can tell, I don't have any right now (for example, I installed armagetron and it uses software rendering).
I'm a technical enough user, but I'm new to openSUSE and to Linux, and my previous attempt of installing ATI drivers (proprietary ones on Fedora) resulted in the OS being unable to boot. I figure that asking for directions would help make things work out better this time.

I got 11.3 64-bit installed properly the first time around and working with a Radeon HD4350. I noticed X to be somewhat sluggish on certain apps under KDE so a couple of days ago I tried to install the Catalyst 10.10 tool from the unofficial repository. I didn't like it and uninstalled it.
After some research it turned out that the proper driver is radeon so I uninstalled the radeonhd driver and rebooted hoping Xorg will pick up the radeon driver automatically as it is included with my kernel. Didn't work and I couldn't even get past the failsafe login screen. Regular boot doesn't even get to the login screen. Just hangs and won't respond to any keyboard commands.
I followed the instruction at this SDB Configuring graphics cards in openSUSE 11.3 using the ATI Xorg -configure option from level 3 console and creating a radeon xorg.conf file. It all works to the point of "startx" as regular user which just brings me back to console. Rebooting and does the same things as before under failsafe and regular. Even nomodeset doesn't help. The output error from startx in failsafe console mode is the following:
Code:
Could not open library ksmserver: Cannot load library /usr/lib64/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so (libatiuki.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory) reinstalling is not an option as I have a lot of custom stuff on this box.
