[Bug 1080612] Re: Installing fglrx/fglrx-updates does nothing. radeon still in use.

 

I'm in the same situation, with Ubuntu 14.04.3 and fglrx-updates.

Tried the instructions in comment #18 but did not change anything. The
log file is attached. Also tried removing and reinstalling fglrx, to no
effect.

Problems seemingly started when I booted without the GPU (using Intel
iGPU) to test hardware and again with the GPU. Before that fglrx was
working fine.

Title:
  Installing fglrx/fglrx-updates does nothing. radeon still in use.

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installing fglrx or fglrx-updates succeeds, but I'm still stuck with
  only the radeon Xorg driver loaded (and fully functional).

  Xorg.0.log shows that it can't load fglrx no matter what I do:
  [     1.816] (==) Matched fglrx as autoconfigured driver 0
  [     1.816] (==) Matched ati as autoconfigured driver 1

  [     1.816] (II) Unloading fglrx
  [     1.816] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)

  BOTH kernel modules are loaded:
  $ lsmod | grep fgl
  fglrx                4715211  0 
  $ lsmod | grep radeon
  radeon                895653  3

  i2c_algo_bit           13413  1 radeon

  And yes, the package really is installed:
  ii  fglrx                                     2:9.000-0ubuntu3                           amd64        Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators
  ii  fglrx-amdcccle                            2:9.000-0ubuntu3                           amd64        Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators

  But still, I find:
  $ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
  OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
  OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR
  OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0
  OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
  OpenGL extensions:

  Does this mean my Radeon HD 5450/6350 is no longer supported? If so,
  then why has there not been a single error or log message saying so?
