ATI FC6 + Kernel 2.6.20

[daarty]

Hey all,
since I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.20(be it 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6-i686 or 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6-i686) the ATI drivers are not compiling properly anymore :-(
Even the new driver release didn't fix my problems.
Here is a link to the install log

Can sum1 help me out with that?

Thanks

[Michael]

Do you have kernel-headers and kernel-devel installed? More difficult reading a foreign log.

I have the 2.6.20 Kernel and the rpms compiled, but when i went to install them i got conflict errors. Any ideas?

What errors do you get?

[gene6482]

I'm not at the machine right now (at work), but it said something to the effect of it conflicted with the old driver that was already there.

[Michael]

Just use --force then

[gene6482]

will i need to use the script that i hear about everywhere to make it work, or just install the rpms that i got from ati?

[gene6482]

ok here's the error message

error Failed dependencies:

[Michael]

ok here's the error message


After building the drivers and then generating the RPMs, just use:

rpm -ivh --force *.rpm

For those drivers. Should work.

here's the output

[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -ivh --force *.rpm

Oops, should have looked at it more closely. You can try an yum remove of kmod-fglrx, etc... Didn't realize when posting that you were using Livna modules.

[gene6482]

i really don't know what i'm using i had livna working before, but when my kernel updated, it stopped working, so i went to ati to download.

Sorry, I'm such an idiot, but i'm trying to learn so someday i'll be able to give some answers :)

Well had you tried an:

yum update kmod-fglrx

??? Livna should have updated packages for your new kernel if your kernel was from a Fedora repo.

i have kmod-fglrx 8.34.8-1.2.6.20_1.2933.fc6 and xorg-x11-drv-fglrx 8.34.8-10.lvnc installed and here's the output of glxinfo

Below the Option AIGLX line you need:


Option "Composite" "Disable"

in the Extensions section as well.

i tried that and restarted and my x server woouldn't start saying fglrx waasn't found

[Michael]

With kmod-fglrx 8.34.8-1.2.6.20_1.2933.fc6 installed, if 2.6.20-1.2933 kernel is installed, fglrx should be found. Is that the version you are running? See uname -a

[gene6482]

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Mar 19 11:38:26 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

[Michael]

As root what happens when you try:

modprobe fglrx

[gene6482]

i figured it out (with your excellent help). I just decided to remove it and reinstall it, and it works now. Thank you so much.

Your welcome. Glad I could be of assistance. If you run into any other problems, just post them here.

I hope you enjoy the other portions of the forums as well.

Hey, sorry, was in France for a week...
so, what am I supposed to do now?

I have both kernel-headers and kernel-devel installed.
