*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1068404 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068404
I think the duplicate status is wrong. I think this is NOT a duplicate of bug #1068404 because **this** bug has the error: [ 593.127] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra- modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg- tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: noXFree86DRIExtension or in other words it can't load the fglrx driver while bug #1068404 does NOT have that issue. So to be clear - this bug relates to the module fglrx driver is NOT loading which results in X crashing. The other bug looks like it loads the module fglrx but X crashes for other reasons. Seems like a completely different root cause therefore should be a different bug. I am also affected by this bug #1069199 and am running DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=saucy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.10" I downloaded and built sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy After doing the install and rebooting I get EXACTLY the same results and have the same error messages as the original bug reporter for this bug when I install the fglrx proprietary drivers. I was hoping to load the AMD drivers because I wanted to get sound out of the HDMI port. I'm running with the following hardware on an HP 8530w. The opensource versions run perfectly for video with both the VGA and HDMI ports, but I can't get sound out of the HDMI port too and read that the only solution is to upgrade to the proprietary fglrx drivers. $ lspci | grep -i Radeon 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
