[Bruno <bruno.bvaraujo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just had this problem.

In my case looks like some other program (was trying to install openbox)
RENAMED amdpcsdb.default to amdpcsdb. , causing this file missing error.

Renaming amdpcsdb. to amdpcsdb.default (just added .default file type)
fixed perfectly the problem, in my case.

I'm at Debian Wheezy, ATI Radeon 7520, Toshiba Satellite Notebook C855D.


That's all folks,
Bruno

Title:
  fglrx fails at startup because of missing  amdpcsdb.default + removal
  leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fglrx-installer source package in Karmic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx

  OS: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) ~ Beta 1 (64-bit)

  After messing around with ATI graphics drivers all day, I'm now stuck
  in this situation:

  Installing fglrx via the restricted hardware manager leaves my system
  unbootable. The Xorg.0.log reveals the following:

  (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.66.10
  (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: 8.66.1                               
  (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Sep  3 2009 21:35:39
  (EE) Unable to initialize PCS database
  (EE)   Missing PCS defaults file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default
  (EE) No devices detected.

  Manually removing fglrx packages via the recovery console leaves the
  system even more unbootable:

  (II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
  (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx
  (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
  (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
  (EE) No drivers available.

  Manually removing xorg.conf makes the system bootable again (probably
  using the ati driver).

  I have the following files on my system that might be relevant:
  /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
  /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default.dpkg-bak

  ubuntu-bug has attached all kinds of stuff for me. Let me know if you
  need anything else.
