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.

  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:

    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.

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.

2012-10-29 Thread Christian Convey
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.

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

2012-10-29 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
** Description changed:

  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 
+ cjc@awesome:~$ fglrxinfo
  X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such 
operation)
-   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
- 
+   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:
  
  aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

2012-10-21 Thread Christian Convey
I believe that's correct: the *current* version of fglrx doesn't support
ATI FirePro M7740 chip.  Unfortunately, it's only the current version
that's compatible with the version of X that ships with Ubuntu 12.10.

Christian Convey, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 
Regarding your comments 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1059655/comments/3
 :
I believe that's correct: the *current* version of fglrx doesn't support ATI 
FirePro M7740 chip. Unfortunately, it's only the current version that's 
compatible with the version of X that ships with Ubuntu 12.10.

Neither the available prior upstream driver releases notes from
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
, or the current stable/beta from
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion129ReleaseNotes.aspx
mention FirePro M7740.

As well, if one goes to
http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx and clicks -
Notebook Graphics - Mobility FirePro Series - Dell Precision M6500
(FirePro M7740 Mobility), one will notice under Operating System: how
linux is not an option. However, if one chooses Notebook Graphics -
Radeon HD Series - Radeon 6310 - Operating System: notice Linux x86 is
an option.

Hence, it appears AMD currently does not, nor has ever provided a linux
driver for your model line. Despite this, you are welcome to engage AMD
about this through their official support channels via
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Official_AMD_support_channels
. It is advised to use their E-Mail webform (
http://emailcustomercare.amd.com/ ) as you will get a ticket number
E-Mailed to you regarding your issue (I know, I recently submitted one).
:)

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

Thank you for your understanding.

This is because ATI was not good about covering laptop-vendor-specific
chips in their driver documentation.  Consulting historical documents
from AMD/ATI will not help you as much as one would hope.
