[Bug 556935] Re: fglrx not working

 

I think this sounds like the same problem as I was seeing until my
playing this morning.

Previously my fglrxinfo would SIGSEGV like you are talking about.  Along
with the segfault I would get errors about config files missing.  I
tried the aticonfig --initial and it would also fail.

The output of my fglrxinfo is:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.2.9737 Compatibility Profile Context

Previously the fglrxinfo was complaining that no devices exist and that
the file /etc/ait/control was not found. I copied the /etc/ati/control
.dpkg-bak file to /etc/ati/control but that didn't fix the whole
problem.

I also did an sudo aticontrol --initial.  Not sure if this is the right
thing but it basically put my display parameters into the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.

After a reboot, my installation was running in a limited graphics mode
and the last error that I had was saying that my
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default was missing. I again coppied the
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default.dpkg-bak to /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default and then
everything appears to be working.

The only side effect right now is that I have a AMD Testing use only
graphic in the lower right corner of my screen. I would assume that will
go away once the final release of Lucid is out.
