View 2 Repliesi'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and my GTK is amd radeon HD 6850. yesterday, i ran ubuntu 10.10 with the fglrx offic. drivers properly on my native resolution and with 3D acceleration, though i couldn't run my favorite game minecraft, so i tried to reinstall. by this, i accidentally formated my windows partition, so all i've got now are my live cd's and this installation of 9.10, where i downloaded the official drivers what didn't work, then upgraded to 10.04 LTS and can't remove the damn fglrx drivers. the error i get is: [URL]
how to get this working? i love ubuntu, i hate windows, it isn't an option for me to get back to windows, the only way i want to use it is for steam games [by the way, will there be steam for linux?] like cs:s, tf2, dow2, which i dont play that frequently as minecraft [i play this every day, on my fav server majncraft.cz]
I need a quick answer if possible, is it better to remove the proprietary drivers before upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10? Or should i have the open source drivers installed? A clean install is not an option on this machine.

For some reason, going back to the login screen will sometimes cause fglrx(0) to freak out and interrupt the logout process. how to force it to stop doing this or fix this issue? I'm using the ATI proprietary drivers with the latest version.
I have a HP Pavillion dv5 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 series. It always worked fine with Ubuntu for as long as I can remember. However, at one point, something happened and truly made a majestic mess of things. It might've been extra repos I enabled with Ubuntu Tweak - I do not know. But something made it so that my system would not boot any longer.
And when I say "won't boot", this is what I mean:
- Durning a normal bootup, any entries (except Windows) selected with GRUB (or BURG, not even sure which one I'm using anymore) will spawn the Ubuntu loading screen.
- then try to start X (or GDM) 5 times. The screen goes to dark, black and back to the Ubuntu loading screen. Then it just stays there until I spawn another TTY.
I have no idea what is happening or why. There are no errors in my logs, and I'm truly at a loss here.
I've linked three files: Xorg.0.log, the output of dmesg and the GDM log:

I recently reinstalled using the latest "respin" CD ISO. Before that, I had other problems with 10.04, but X and fglrx worked perfectly.
Now, X always comes up in 1600x1200 instead of the monitor native 1920x1200. I am still using the same on-board Radeon 4200. Supposedly this display adapter is very well supported by Linux???
I did an aticonfig --initial as suggested in the Known Lucid Lynx issues/bugs with workarounds thread, but when I restarted X I got a black screen, and when I rebooted, even though xorg.conf now says
Code:
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
The system still comes up in 1600x1200. Note it is on DVI and I never touched the hardware or put a bad cable on it since it was working with the first install of 10.04.
When I go into Catalyst Control Center, Display Manager, Display Properties tab, the highest resolution available is 1600x1200. I hand-edited X11 and restarted and ran for a while in 1920x1200, but that no longer works. Now I just get a black screen whenever I restart X, and it always starts in 1600x1200.
How do I convince fglrx that I really have a 1920x1200 monitor? (VP2330wb). It is really very blurry in 1600x1200.

I turned off my machine and when I turned it back on it would only boot in low res mode.I cannot 'activate' the driver, gives me an error. Tried following options in 10 different threads here,10.04, was working fine for a month or more since upgrading. ATI 5770 card, driver is latest.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm not 100% certain, but I'm fairly sure that fglrx is preventing clean shut downsHardware is an ASUS E-35M1-I Deluxe, so fairly new, and I'm running Ubuntu natty.I couldn't find anything damning in the logs under /var/log, so I'm not sure where I can look to find the specific errors. All I know is that when I'm running with fglrx shutdown takes forever, as if it's waiting for the X server, and it just never shuts down cleanly, but when I run with the standard radeon driver everything shuts down quickly and cleanly.Sometimes when I tried to execute a "service slim stop" or "service gdm stop", the whole system would hang, and needed a hard reset.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo a few weeks ago, I was running Ubuntu/Windows7 Dual Boot, and I installed the proprietary FGLRX ATI graphics card driver. This rendered my Ubuntu system command-line only, and I had to install all over again. If I install FGLRX now, will this happen again or has the bug been fixed? If it does happen again, is there any way to revert to the open-source ATI driver from the command line?

Also there's no fglrx-modialases (or something) in synaptic thats been needed before.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and using the fglrx driver from repo, but i can't get 1366x768 resolution. I generate xorg.conf with "sudo X -configure" and put in the Modeline that was copied from windows powerstrip, which works fine under windows with catalyst. and restart X, the lcd gets 1366x768 resolution as expected. but the "sudo X -configure" generated xorg.conf was using "radeon" driver, but blender won't work with it, etc... I want to use "fglrx" driver. So I change the Driver section from "radeon" to "fglrx" and restart X, it wont start now, telling me that out of range or something.

I'm running 9.10 x64 version on an Athlon II x4 with 4 gigs of ram and an ATI Radeon HD 4770 card, using the fglrx driver. I'm also using Compiz.
However, I'm having a pretty major problem with video playback. Some time after starting playback, the entire system appears to freeze up. At least the video does, anyway. The audio continues to play, but the mouse is locked in place and the video frame doesn't move. I tried alt-prscr-k, but couldn't kill X. I tried ctrl-alt-f1 and f2 but again, no change. Ctrl-alt-delete had no response either. In the end, I've been having to use alt-prscr-REISUB to restart the machine.
This problem happens at unpredictable times. The other night, I watched about 1 and a half hours of DVD before it happened, and then after restarting I couldn't watch 10 seconds before freezing again. Just now, again, I started watching a video file, and the system locks up a few seconds in to the video, every time (and a different place every time).
I tried both the ati and radeonhd drivers as well, but I couldn't get the results I wanted with my 2-monitor display. I've only been able to get my monitors the way I want them using fglrx. But without being able to watch video, it's pointless anyway.
I'm lost for what to do... I've spend the last 24 hours installing and uninstalling and reinstalling the different ATI drivers over and over, only to come back to this problem. Is there something I'm missing completely?
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit version and everything worked fine so far except for the fglrx driver as it seems. I wasn't able to enable desktop effects and couldn't start games like openarena or nexuiz.
Therefore, I installed the fglrx driver from ATI's site and got everything working fine. Unfortunately it introduced a problem with vlc and the window manager in general. If I go into fullscreen in vlc it takes at least 2 seconds until the screen reacts. Also, if I tab through windows there is at least a second delay which is all very very annoying. I removed the driver again and re-installed fglrx from the repos. I now have two entries for the Catalyst Control Center (normal + administrative) under System->Prefrences which is annoying but not the reason for this thread.
The main problem remains the delay with window tabbing (with desktop effects disabled) and vlc going into fullscreen (this also applies for ..... videos which also lag in fullscreen mode).
The card is a Radeon HD 4830, processor is an AMD Phenom II X4 810.

I have compiled 2.6.33.5 from source and patched it with 2.6.33.5-rt23. I have adjusted features take a lot of things off that I don't need. I need the real-time kernel for music creation using JACK (Jack Audio Control Kit).
Adjusting over/underscan requires an AMD Catalyst Control Center. Will there be future open-source ATI drivers that allow me to correct my display without having to change modelines in xorg? It will take a lot of trial and error to figure this out for my display. Note that even if I did install the kernel headers for 2.6.32-23-preempt or 2.6.33-23-realtime (depending on what I use), fglrx module will still fail to install, even if I install linux-source. I'm confused. I do want fglrx and I do need the real-time/low-latency kernel for music creation under Ubuntu 10.04.
Update: if you create a utsrelease.h header file inside /usr/include/linux directory, you can write out like this:
Code:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.33.5-rc3" # replace the version number for your running kernel. You can then reinstall fglrx, but then I get this:

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.

I recently upgraded to the 2.6.35-27 kernel, but it seems that the X-server will always segfault if I try to load the ATI driver for it. If the ATI driver is turned off then nothing bad happens but then I'd be running without graphics acceleration.
I'm currently using ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870. For now, to avoid this issue I'm still using the older 2.6.35-25 kernel, in which the driver seems to work just fine.
I wonder if there's anyone else having the same issue?
Crash log below, if you can find some useful info from it:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to use FGLRX on my laptop, if I don't, either some OpenGL apps don't load, or the performance is poor.. With FGLRX the performance of the app is great and all work..
However, since Ubuntu 10.10, FGLRX no longer has "smooth" video.. And what I mean by that, even a simple DVD is dropping like 50% of it's frames every second with FGLRX. However, if I use the open source ATI driver, there is no video performance problem and even HD video plays fine, but then GL apps become a problem again..
In Ubuntu 10.04 FGLRX didn't have this problem. I did try to upgrade to the latest FGLRX 10.12, and every time I try on Ubuntu 10.10, I result with X not starting at all..
Here's the kicker though, the built in Movie Player with Ubuntu, works fine no matter which driver is used.. Now this wouldn't be an issue for me, but DVD's don't play right in that player, it runs like it's vibrating, but all other video formats work fine..
I'm at a loss. I gave up Linux a few months ago and wanted to try again, but once again, ATI is letting me down, and this is a laptop, buying a new laptop just because of the GPU is out of the question.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I'd like to use the latest kernel from repositories (at the present moment it's 2.6.35-23), that's why I've installed backports.
These are packages:linux-image-generic-lts-backport-maverick linux-headers-generic-lts-backport-maverick
But DKMS failed to build modules for fglrx: I think it's caused by old version of fglrx.
I was having issues with xscreensaver, desktop background and VLC all cutting out at same or different times and narrowed it down to "possibly" compiz or the FGLXR ATI driver that was recommended for my ATI HD3200 card. So, without knowing better, i went into hardware settings and removed the proprietary driver and did a reboot thinking the system would come back up and default back to a vanilla driver. No dice. Hello white screen of death! So, i am assuming that I can just reinstall via terminal and life will be good again? So, looking for CLI commands via terminal for reinstall.. (if possible)
