F14 + Fglrx = X Segfault

Timberbrook · #1 28th December 2010, 01:24 AM

Two part question

1) Is Fedora using a new X version that fglrx doesnt support yet?

2) Assuming that Fglrx DOES Support F14's X then I have problem. (This is the official ATI package from ATI's site)

Code:

Xorg ver: 7.6
Driver Version: 8.8001 (Fglrx) 10.12 (Catalyst)

Anytime I run "aticonfig --initial" It runs successfully, but on next reboot, /usr/bin/X segfaults (0x50) And FGLRX later spits out "fglrx firegl_SetSuspendResumeState FAILED -9"

a quick modprobe fglrx returns

Code:

FATAL: Module fglrx not found.

What I'm not sure is whether modprobe is saying fglrx is not in use (I rm'ed xorg.conf) which would make sense. or that FGLRX doesnt exist at all..which would not be good. I'm running back through the installer now, maybe it installed weird. But if that doesnt work, does anyone have any ideas?

kernel-headers, kernel-devel and gcc are installed, kernel is 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686

ATI logfile:

Code:

Unloading radeon module...
ERROR: Module radeon is in use
Unloading drm module...
ERROR: Module drm is in use by radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Error] Kernel Module : Kernel module build environment not found - please consult readme.
[Reboot] Kernel Module : dracut

Its saying the build environment isnt there, but I dont know what im missing since devel, headers and gcc are all there

hello,

acctually the catalyst driver from ati.amd.com should work. I have it working on a 2.6.35.9-65.fc14.x86_64 kernel.

But I just noticed that there is a new catalyst driver in the RPMFusion testing repo. Maybe you could try kmod-catalyst-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686-10.12-1.fc14.i686 together with a 2.6.35-10-74.fc14.i686 kernel.

Here is the link to the guide.

I just tried the kmod driver but during boot appeared the following message:

Quote:
