Some googling lead me to
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NTkyMg. I extracted
the ati-driver-installer package, and copied ("sudo cp
./common/etc/ati/control /etc/ati/") the control file. That got rid of
the "unsupported hardware" logo. My question is, shouldn't these two
files be
Spoke to soon. Adding the signature doesn't remove the idiotic logo,
only the "testing part" of it. Now I have a "Unsupported hardware" logo
in the right hand corner.
Generating and installing the deb files from the ati-driver-
installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run gets rid of the logo, but gives a error
This hardy driver adds the infamous testing release logo, which I managed to
get rid of by adding a /etc/ati/signature file with
"29b717420cc341b8075342c73157b5f5:119923713fee718f366272fe507a85c01c8f22734fee00ec4e7371f0066185c5:18862e7b3ef07689343527a206668d931a8121703bf127dd326375a60962d6c518d42
I noticed that the wildcard "*" works only for the meaning of "all packages"
and not as "all packages that begins with..." so the line:
Package: linux-restricted-modules-*
should be changed to:
Package: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
or with your current kernel version (run "uname -r"
The fglrx versione 8.42.3 is on Hardy repositories.
For all those who want to run AIGLX-enables 8.42.3 fglrx driver on Gutsy, here
is the how-to:
Create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, for example
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list, and add hardy repositories:
deb http://it.archive.ubuntu
Actually, I have one good reason why I couldn't stay with the 8.37 -
when used with the new xorg, it doesn't properly support multiple
monitors with different resolutions. Once I upgraded to Gutsy, I had to
upgrade to fglrx 8.42 to get the dual monitors to work correctly (which
they did using Ubun
I'm going to have to say nay to this, even though I am an ATI user. This
version does bring AIGLX support, but the downside now is that it does
not work with the new 2.6.23 kernel. I say when 8.43 comes out with the
new ABI support in the 2.6.23 kernel, then it deserves something like
fglrx-new in
I don't think we normally backport linux-restricted-modules since it is
so invasive. In any case, we would not backport a fglrx that is not
regression-free, and since it's closed source we have no mechanism for
us to fix the regressions from our side. Thus, I'm closing this as
WONTFIX. Thanks ev
HEADS UP:
This release is not "perfect" and may be a regression from previous
releases. Phoronix reports mixed success, not to mention xorg.conf needs
to change a bit (un-disable composite extensions), video flickering in
Compiz, and Compiz needing backporting.
Please be careful and get plenty of
I think we MUST wait for a much beter relase. I tested it and it works
horrible.

Due to popular demand, I've packaged this fglrx up for Gutsy testers:

poor here so I'm doubtful we'll incorporate it for Hardy, let alone
backport for Gutsy. (Fwiw
I think we can wait a better release or buy a graphic card other than AMD/ATI.
This fglrx 8.42.3 supports AIGLX but it's 50% slower than XGL.
I'm turning back to 8.37.6 + XGL!

I think this is very important for the composite by default and it would
solve the problem with wacom tablets and XGL :) please backport this

Thanks for report! But no more "me too" and "please do it" posts,
please. Everyone knows the huge interest in ati's AIGLX support. It
would only make this bug-report unreadable. :-)
By the way... there is a bug for amd64 in the new version.

suspend/resume problem is not fixed, aiglx works but not as well as glx, and
boot time is substantially increased. These are my experiences, ymmv.
Very likely my system configuration is not optimized for this new driver.

This is very important thing to all those > R300 ATI users, not only
because of AIGLX but because of "huge" speed improvements for OpenGL
application.
Please backport it.
