fglrx fails build on 2.6.35-10-generic

This also affects me. It has rendered my system unusable after upgrading to meerkat beta from lucid. There seem to be lots of similar reports in launchpad. I've marked some of them as duplicates to try and connect them together.

This happens every time Ubuntu updates their kernel and/or Xorg version and leaves the old fglrx driver in place that was never designed to work with those new X.org and kernel versions.

Maybe one way to save users this kind of trouble in the future would be to add versioned dependencies to fglrx to make it conflict with kernel or X.org versions newer than what was in the last stable Ubuntu release. This way, if a user explicitly or implicitly updates their X.org or kernel to a new major version, they'd be forced to uninstall fglrx first.

Do you know if will be there a new version of this driver in the final
version of Ubuntu Maverick?

Like with RichardN, this bug has made xwindow unusable on my computer after upgrading from lucid.

Same for me

Initially my system was unusable, but I have removed fglrx for now and enabled radeon by modifying my xorg.conf (previously created by the amdccle tool)

Driver "radeon" in my xorg.conf where it used to say fglrx.. performance seems surprisingly good with compiz, etc.

Its a good workaround for now that enables gnome whilst we wait for fglrx to catch up again

hi,

thanks for the response. it appears that i am already using radeon (lsmod gives me some references to radeon), but i don't find compiz to be working all that well. i don't know if there are some tweaks i should use or some kind of tuning i can do. in the past it's worked much better. maybe i will have to wait until 10.10 is officially released as it seems that performance and functionality changes everytime i update (every few days)...

let me know if you have any ideas. thanks again

dan

The new package solves the problem, just run the following commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx
go to system, administration, proprietary drivers and enable the driver
reboot
every thing ok
(driver version 2:8.780-0ubuntu1, kernel 2.6.35-22)

great!

long for ubuntu10.10…

It works !! Thanks a lot.

Things that doesn't work :
- Boot Splash with open source driver was working but with this closed source driver doesn't work.
- Resolution of the console Ctrl Alt F1 F2 and so on... doesn't show on the right resolution for my monitor 1920x1200.
- Youtube on Ubuntu Maverick 64 bit sometimes makes reboot the computer. I don't know why.

Can you help me ?

Thanks.

Hey Collin,

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.

Thanks a lot.

The problem, unfortunately, is not yet solved. I've tested it and it
remains.
