Re: Attempt to install ATi drivers fails with checksum mismatch

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Hi,

I have same problems. I solved them linking library by hand.

Enclosed one mail in which I spoke about this.

I solved problem on a ATI computer based but without hybrid so I think
this installer is broken (on ubuntu natty I mean...) even if you don't
have hybrid configuration.

Hope this help,

Regards,

Hi,

For natty, package in bkoken I can confirm. To solve this I must relink
manually libs to allow "switch" (not 3D under i915 that I didn't
understand)  like :
#When on ATI : 


#ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ | grep libglx
#-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342568 2011-04-19 17:41 FGL.renamed.libglx.so
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     21 2011-05-01 13:20 libglx.so -> fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so

#ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.* | grep libGL
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-05-01 13:20 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-05-01 13:20 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-05-01 13:20 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2



#when switching on Intel :

#ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ | grep libglx
#-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342568 2011-04-19 17:41 FGL.renamed.libglx.so
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     21 2011-05-01 13:24 libglx.so -> FGL.renamed.libglx.so

#ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.*
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-05-01 11:07 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2
#lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-05-01 11:07 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2

Some directories are not in the correct place and some library too...

I made this script for natty based on my notes :

#!/bin/sh 

mkdir /usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx/
mv /usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/FGL.renamed.libglx.so
cp /usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx/libglx.so /usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so 
rm /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
cp /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2
cp /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so
ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so
ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so  /usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
ldconfig
aticonfig --initial
service gdm stop
sleep 1
service gdm start

that should give you this result (but not tested directly as I made it by hand...)

I have also made a script (works on 10.10 and debian stable not ubuntu 11.04) that switch really from one card to another but I have sometimes kernel panic with vga_swicheroo (for sleep or hibernate...) that I use on Intel to save battery...(so I didn't use it in script...so battery...)

On 11.04 with latest driver I have X break using fullscreen 3D games (native or wine's ones...) so I didn't take time to debug my switch script as it's not usable at this time for me (if someone have a solution too for fullscreen kills, I'm interested....)
Enclosed, script used on 10.10 that works for me (if you can do better, I'm interested too ;)).

thanks in advance,

BR,
