Second issue in same function the format "PCI:%d@%d:%d:%d" which is different to format "PCI:%d:%d:%d" used by aticonfig, which causes misdetection of correct BusID in xorg.conf If routine "check_vendor_bus_id_xorg_conf()" reports "Check failed" completely valid xorg.conf is overwritten by gpu-manager.c in boot. Quick workaround for users is to correct the xorg.conf after installation of ATI Catalyst proprietary drivers taking these into account. --- ApportVersion: 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-03-27 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20140227) NonfreeKernelModules: wl fglrx Package: ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.2.91.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-19.40-generic 3.13.6 Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.13.0-19-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True ** Affects: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-collected trusty ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf written by aticonfig --adapter=all --initial" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299002/+attachment/4048598/+files/xorg.conf ** Tags added: apport-collected trusty ** Description changed: This is a bug report against gpu-manager.c in ubuntu-drivers-common. ~/Documents/VC/ubu/ubuntu-drivers-common/share/hybrid$ bzr log ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 56 tags: 1:0.2.91.1 author: Alberto Milone committer: Package Import Robot branch nick: trusty-proposed timestamp: Fri 2014-03-21 20:03:20 +0100 I'm submitting this now manually due to urgency to 14.04 release as ubuntu-bug crashes too ;( %sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial writes a xorg.conf which uses xorg.conf keywords in "text" fields searched by function static int check_vendor_bus_id_xorg_conf(struct device **devices, int cards_n, unsigned int vendor_id, char *driver) In line 1072 of gpu-manager.c "Driver" keyword is found from following lines xorg.conf written by aticonfig Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[1]-0" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection Line 1119 of gpu-manager.c else if ((istrstr(line, "Driver") != NULL) && (strstr(line, driver) == NULL)) { failure = 1; } Looks the xorg keyword "Driver" anywhere in the line and finds "ATI Proprietary Driver", but of course does not find correct drivername "fglrx" from the same line => Keywords should be searched from the beginning of the line, not all over.
