I think the duplicate status is wrong.
I think this is NOT a duplicate of bug #1068404 because **this** bug has
the error:
[ 593.127] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-
modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-
tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol:
noXFree86DRIExtension
or in other words it can't load the fglrx driver while bug #1068404 does
NOT have that issue.
So to be clear - this bug relates to the module fglrx driver is NOT loading
which results in X crashing.
The other bug looks like it loads the module fglrx but X crashes for other
reasons.
Seems like a completely different root cause therefore should be a
different bug.
I am also affected by this bug #1069199 and am running
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=saucy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.10"
I downloaded and built
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run
--buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
After doing the install and rebooting I get EXACTLY the same results and
have the same error messages as the original bug reporter for this bug
when I install the fglrx proprietary drivers. I was hoping to load the
AMD drivers because I wanted to get sound out of the HDMI port. I'm
running with the following hardware on an HP 8530w.
The opensource versions run perfectly for video with both the VGA and
HDMI ports, but I can't get sound out of the HDMI port too and read that
the only solution is to upgrade to the proprietary fglrx drivers.
$ lspci | grep -i Radeon
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
RV635/M86 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650]
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV635 HDMI Audio
[Radeon HD 3600 Series]
Symptons:
1) lightdm prompt appears
2) Login succeeds
3) screen goes blank and then login screen appears again.
The following (I think relevant) error messages appear in Xorg.0.log and
mark this as different than the other bug.
