The fglrx-installer code should keep track of the version of xorg-server and kernel that the binary driver is compatible with and refuse to install if it notices a too-new version of either of these. This is because it's more common than not that newer versions include changes which break the proprietary driver.
** Summary changed: - Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in FatalError() after enabling proprietary ATI driver + Jockey should not offer -fglrx until it is available in the development version ** Summary changed: - Jockey should not offer -fglrx until it is available in the development version + should not offer -fglrx until it is available in the development version ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => High ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Also affects: jockey (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- should not offer -fglrx until it is available in the development version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
