Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
OS: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) ~ Beta 1 (64-bit)
After messing around with ATI graphics drivers all day, I'm now stuck in
this situation:
Installing fglrx via the restricted hardware manager leaves my system
unbootable. The Xorg.0.log reveals the following:
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.66.10
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: 8.66.1
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Sep 3 2009 21:35:39
(EE) Unable to initialize PCS database
(EE) Missing PCS defaults file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default
(EE) No devices detected.
Manually removing fglrx packages via the recovery console leaves the
system even more unbootable:
(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx
(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Manually removing xorg.conf makes the system bootable again (probably
using the ati driver).
I have the following files on my system that might be relevant:
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default.dpkg-bak
ubuntu-bug has attached all kinds of stuff for me. Let me know if you
need anything else.
