The open source driver is not an option because I need hardware
acceleration. However, it must be some configuration on  my system,
otherwise there would be tons of people complaining.

Reinstalling fglrx 14.3 or 14.2 (which was working before) did not
solve anything.

AMD Graphics and Gnome on testing (Jessie)

2014-04-12 Thread Bruno Schneider
I'm having trouble with the fglrx module on a notebook with Debian
testing (Jessie).

It was working well, then after a system upgrade on April 10, Gnome no
longer works. The upgrade included gnome, linux-kernel, xorg and
fglrx. By no long works, I mean:

Gdm3 no longer shows the list of users. It seem the notebook is on
graphics mode, but I can't interact with gdm3. I see a blank screen. I
can't find relevant errors on Xorg.0.log or .xession-errors.

If I go to a VT then enter startx I get the Oh no! Something has
gone wrong. Gnome screen of death.

I tried reverting to the previously working fglrx version but that
didn't solve anything.
