[Bug 49318] Re: Cannot load fglrx driver for ATI Radeon 9000
Never mind, it would appear that fglrx drivers aren't designed to autoload the kernel module like the nvidia drivers. Since the libGL problem seems to have been addressed in Edgy, I am going to mark this bug as fixed. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released -- Cannot load fglrx driver for ATI Radeon 9000 https://launchpad.net/bugs/49318 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 49318] Re: Cannot load fglrx driver for ATI Radeon 9000
Actually, I meant to report this issue myself, because I consistently found issues with it: a) The fglrx kernel module is not loaded properly on bootup (has to be added to /etc/modules manually). b) The /usr/lib/libGL.so is usually symlinked to the wrong library (MESA rather than ATI). I'm not too sure about (b), since on a recent Edgy install I only had to do (a) to get proper 3D support, but only after a reboot (loading the fglrx module dymnamically didn't work for some weird reason; perhaps conflict with the open source ati/radeon driver? I don't know). Can someone confirm is the linux-restricted-modules package actually does set up the module auto-loading properly? If not, perhaps that should be added to the postinstall script and the end-user be prompted to reboot? -- Cannot load fglrx driver for ATI Radeon 9000 https://launchpad.net/bugs/49318 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I found it! It was the "libGl.so.1.2" that was causing the mess!! One person suggested in ubuntu forums to copy old libGl instead of current one. Now I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib$ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

Thanks ashrack, I tried, but unfortunately, it didn't help. :( I can get the system working with "fglrx" added in xorg.conf as a device, however, I have no 3D support. fglrxinfo: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1) I also noticed that when I'm running a "fglrx" driver, I cannot move a mouse in Enigma game. Everything is ok when "ati" or "radeon" is used instead. -- Cannot load fglrx driver for ATI Radeon 9000 https://launchpad.net/bugs/49318 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I really don't think this should have been rejected, since the driver package description Ivan is referring to clearly states that his card IS supported.
