Is it possible to make ATI proprietary driver fglrx work with the
latest xorg packages?
I installed fglrx packages (build the kernel module etc.) but it
doesn't seem to accept xorg 7:
(II) fglrx(0): UMM Bus area: 0xd0acb000 (size=0x07535000)
(II) fglrx(0): UMM area: 0xd0acb000 (size=0x07535000)
(II) fglrx(0): driver needs X.org 6.8.x.y with x.y >= 99.8
(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.0.0.0
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
does it mean it's not going to work until ATI releases a new driver
with support for xorg 7? Anybody had any success with the free driver
(it has at least some 3D experimental features).
relevant packages:
ii fglrx-control 8.24.8-1
ii fglrx-driver 8.24.8-1
ii fglrx-driver-dev 8.24.8-1
ii fglrx-kernel-2.6.15jojda 8.24.8-1+jojda.0
ii fglrx-kernel-src 8.24.8-1
ii xserver-xorg 7.0.22
TIA,
erik
