Package: fglrx-driver Version: 1:9-3-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
As I recently updated my monitors into 24" TFTs I noticed that I also should to upgrade graphics card as the earlier ASUS Geforce 8500 Silent had only DVI+VGA and I wanted two digital connections, thus I bought this Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 Ultimate (RV730XT GPU) card. But I am having hard time to get the drivers up and running. I managed to compile the required kernel module for the self-built kernel image fine, but there the success ended: if I run "aticonfig --initial=dual-head" that program segmentation faults, in single user mode I got also following details about the reason for this: aticonfig[nnn] general protection ip:b7bdd256 sp:bf9fde58 error:0 in libc-2.9.so[b7b6a000+15a000] I have also tried manual editing on xorg.conf and the best result has been that I get garbled screen, most of the time the result is that system halts after starting X (screen briefly blinks white and then black and also keyboard caps and screen lock lights blink). Also tried kernel upgrade, but as reported also in another bug report compilation of fglrx module fails on 2.6.29. I noticed also the udev related bug about the missing device file and followed the hint there, but I still get the same errors as earlier and I'm starting to be desperate enough that I may soon switch back to the old graphics card... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fglrx-driver depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii fglrx-glx 1:9-3-1 proprietary libGL for the non-free ii laptop-detect 0.13.7 attempt to detect a laptop ii libc6 2.9-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdrm2 2.4.5-2 Userspace interface to kernel DRM ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-5 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.0.3-7 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libx11-6 2:1.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+18 the X.Org X server Versions of packages fglrx-driver recommends: pn fglrx-atieventsd <none> (no description available) ii fglrx-glx 1:9-3-1 proprietary libGL for the non-free ii fglrx-kernel-2.6.28.7 1:9-3-1+custom.1.0 ATI binary kernel module for Linux ii fglrx-source 1:9-3-1 kernel module source for the non-f Versions of packages fglrx-driver suggests: ii fglrx-control 1:9-3-1 control panel for the non-free AMD -- debconf information: * fglrx-driver/acpi_switch: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
