Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1059655] Re: 1002:94a3 fglrx doesn't support ATI FirePro M7740 chip

2012-11-02 Thread Christian Convey 
After purging the old PPA, and setting up Nick Andrick's PPA, I tried
installing the fglrx-installer package.  However, no such package
was available.  So I guessed and installed the fglrx package.  The
installation went smoothly, but upon rebooting my system, I don't
think Nick's package's driver is in effect.  I have no AMD
Unsupported hardware watermark on my screen, and the output from
running glxinfo suggests I have no OpenGL functionality.

Next, I uninstalled the fglrx package, and installed
fglrx-updates, version 2:9.010-0ubuntu1~andrik5.  Upon rebooting, I
had the same experience as I got with the fglrx package, as
described above.

Please note that the WORKAROUND of using the
https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx PPA is imperfect,
because it places the AMD Unsupported hardware watermark on the
bottom-right corner of the screen.

   The fgrlx package now installs successfully for me.  However, I
   believe it's  not recognizing my chip, the ATI FirePro M7740.  This is
   the chip that Dell uses in the Precision M6500 laptop from about 3 years
   ago.

   I have a few reasons for thinking fglrx isn't doing its job for this
   chip:

   (1) When I run fglrxinfo, I get the following output:

   cjc@awesome:~$ fglrxinfo

 Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
 Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
 Serial number of failed request:  12
 Current serial number in output stream:  12

   (2) When I run amdcccle, I get a dialog box with this message:

   There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition.
   It could be caused by the following.

   No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning 
 properly.
   Please install the AMD driver appropriate for you AMD hardware, or 
 configure using aticonfig.

   (3) When I run aticonfig, I get this message:

I don't presently have Precise installed, but I'm near 100% that the
installer did NOT work under Precise.

When I used the official Ubuntu GUI for closed-source drivers, I would
be told the installation failed, although no reason was given to me.

When I used the AMD-provided installer scripts, IIRC the later
versions of those scripts installed, but then when I ran aticonfig
--initial I was told that no supported cards were detected.

In fact, I'm currently running the driver provided by the
fglrx-legacy package in someone's PPA, and while accelerated video
is working (glxinfo produces copious, happy output), I have the AMD
Unsupported hardware watermark in the bottom-left corner of my
screen.

This is because ATI was not good about covering laptop-vendor-specific

 Hence, it appears AMD currently does not, nor has ever provided a linux

 about this through their official support channels via

 If you do submit a ticket, please share your results.

Not sure.   I'm not that well versed on the intricacies of the X
server and/or the linux kernel.

I think it would take someone from AMD to say whether or not their
newest driver REALLY needs version 11 of the ABI, or if versions 12/13
are actually okay as well.

On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 11:56 AM, Raymond Wells rfw...@gmail.com wrote:
 According to:  http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgModuleABIVersions

 Modules reporting they require a incompatible version number will not
 be loaded unless the -ignoreABI option is used. (Modules can also check
 ABI versions themselves, and choose which function variant to call or
 structure variant to access, based on the reported versions - this is
 the option used by some closed source drivers for instance.) 

 In light of this, would it be possible to somehow force the correct ABI
 version with the new XServer  legacy fglrx driver?

2012-10-02 Thread Christian Convey 
I'm going to add a comment to help people Googling this issue.  The ATI
Mobility M7740 chip, which was one option for the Dell M6500 Mobile
Precision laptop, is apparently considered a 4000-series chip, and so is
a victim of this AMD policy.

One of the supposed justifications for over-priced workstation-class
graphics chips was top-notch vendor support.  By so cutting short its
support of this chip, AMD has demonstrated that they can't be trusted to
support workstation-level users.

Unless something radically changes, I can't see buy AMD for my Linux
laptops / desktops anymore.  What a shame.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1059655] [NEW] fglrx doesn't support ATI FirePro M7740 chip?

2012-10-01 Thread Christian Convey 
Public bug reported:

The fgrlx package now installs successfully for me.  However, I
believe it's  not recognizing my chip, the ATI FirePro M7740.  This is
the chip that Dell uses in the Precision M6500 laptop from about 3 years
ago.

I have a few reasons for thinking fglrx isn't doing its job for this
chip:

(1) When I run fglrxinfo, I get the following output:

cjc@awesome:~$ fglrxinfo 
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such 
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1054992] [NEW] fglrx package has unmet dependency

2012-09-23 Thread Christian Convey 
Public bug reported:

First, let me note that the fglrx-installer package doesn't appear in
the repositories (default) that I'm using, so I assume that I'm supposed
to just install the fglrx package directly.

When I try to install the closed-source AMD driver for my laptop
graphics chip (AMD FirePro M7740), I get the following:


cjc@awesome:~$ sudo aptitude install fglrx
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  fglrx{b} 
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  fglrx-amdcccle 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 66.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 207 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fglrx : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

 Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) fglrx [Not Installed]  


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1051362] [NEW] fglrx (not installed): fglrx kernel module failed to build

2012-09-16 Thread Christian Convey 
Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 beta, up to date as of 2012-09-15,  2 pm U.S.
Eastern time.

Uname output: Linux awesome 3.5.0-14-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 14
20:21:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My graphics chip is this (from lspci):
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI M97 GL 
[ATI FirePro M7740]

Open-source graphics drive working okay, but I wanted to use the
Catalyst driver.  So I downloaded amd-driver-
installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run from AMD's website, and used it to build
Ubuntu/quantal debian packages.  That went okay, so I installed them
using sudo dpkg -i *.deb in the directory containing the packages.

I got the following output from that dpkg invocation:
