Okay, I've not tested this long enough but I decided to give the drivers absolute latest drivers a shot, ie amd-driver- installer-12-6-x86.x86_64.run ie:
[ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Version: 8.98.2 [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Date: Jun 11 2012 [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Desc: AMD FireGL DRM kernel module [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version matches driver. [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Build Time Information: [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Build-Kernel UTS_RELEASE: 3.2.0-26-generic [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Build-Kernel MODVERSIONS: no [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Build-Kernel __SMP__: yes [ 12.508] (II) fglrx(0): Build-Kernel PAGE_SIZE: 0x1000 $ ls /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/ 8.980 kernel-3.2.0-26-generic-x86_64 You'll want to follow that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Manually_installing_Catalyst_12.6 to manually install them. You needn't uninstall the old ones first, just run buildpkg command and it will give you 3 .deb files to install. I noticed after doing this I see: $ fglrxinfo display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ASUS EAH5450 Series OpenGL version string: 4.2.11733 Compatibility Profile Context instead of: $ fglrxinfo display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series OpenGL version string: 4.2.11627 Compatibility Profile Contex Also I think the kernel panics have stopped, others might want to test this to confirm? perhaps then we could have our packages version bumped or something in backports. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/750437 Title: fglrx hard lockup on shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/750437/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
