[Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf

 

Bryan,

Thanks for your explanation. I now see that my /var/lib/dkms/fglrx
folder is actually deleted when the installer found error. But I managed
to copy it from the source /usr/src/fglrx-8.723. Then I run 'sudo sh
make.sh --nohints --uname_r=2.6.32-22-generic --norootcheck' at
termnial. I changed the kernel version from 2.6.31-14 to 2.6.32-22 and
now I see message  'build succeeded with return value 0'. However,
nothing really changed after this 'make'.

I have noticed that the file size you listed for libfglrx_ip* are 3MB but the ones I have is only 2MB:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 2354408 2010-05-30 12:19 libfglrx_ip.a.GCC3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 2354408 2010-05-30 12:19 libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4
All the other file sizes are the same. Is it possible that you post these files so that I can give them a try?

Post #48 suggests to link /etc/ati to /usr/lib/fglrx/etc/ati. But in my
/usr/lib there is no such a folder called fglrx.

I also compared my xorg.conf with Post #44. Did not see meaningful
differences.

In the meantime, I also made a fresh USB installer from a new download
of Lucid. I tried to install the driver there and was hoping to get some
good copy. But in the end it is the same.

I also tried to install the driver using Jockey-gtk as discussed by post
#14 and #43. I then ended up the same as using Synaptic, i.e. only a
broken fglrxamdccc installed but not the real fglrx driver.

I now feel it really hurt to update my Lucid...
