8.41.7 and F7

[jmtwan]

I try build the rpm for the new 8.41.7 driver on Fedora 7 ( with --buildpkg Fedora/F7 ) but it doesn't work well and I got some errors.
Is someone found a way to install this drivers on F7 X86_64 ? thanks.

( sorry for my very poor english ..lol )

This solution is not perfect way.
but, I'm successsed build pkg in Fedora 7 X86_64.


1st, extracted new ati-dirver.
2nd, edited ati-packager.sh file. (insert red part)
3th, build pkg.
4th, updated pkg.
./ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x86_64.run --extract fglrx
cd fglrx
vi packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh

# Same work around for 32-on-64
if [ "${release_arch}" = 'x86_64' ]; then
mkdir -p ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}/usr/lib/dri
#mv ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/* \
#${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}/usr/lib/dri
#ln -fs ../../../../lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
popd &> /dev/null
fi

./ati-installer.sh 8.41.7 --buildpkg Fedora/F7
cd ..
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

5th, you must correctly linking to library files.
mv /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib/dri
ln -fs /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

rm -fr /usr/lib64/xorg/lib*
ln -fs /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/xorg/libGL.so
ln -fs /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/xorg/libGL.so.1
ln -fs /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/xorg/libGL.so.1.2
ln -fs /usr/lib64/fglrx/libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 /usr/lib64/xorg/libfglrx_gamma.so.1

ln -fs /usr/lib64/fglrx/libfglrx_tvout.so.1.0 /usr/lib64/xorg/libfglrx_tvout.so.1.0

rm -fr /usr/lib/xorg/lib*

I ran the thing and built a distro specific package for 64bit RHEL 5, which seemed to install correctly and is working for me on x86_64. It's glitchy though.

[hubick@myf7box ~]$ rpm -qa | grep fglrx
fglrx64_7_1_0-8.41.7-1
[hubick@myf7box ~]$ /sbin/lspci | grep ATI
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300 Pro] (Secondary)

What are your glitches -

(and Since I'm the initiator of the damn bug - is this a PCIe card or AGP card - or onboard for that matter --> if this is an AGP card check your agp bus speed in amdccle - if it shows as 0 please tag your relevant info on this bug

Alright I tagged it.

[jmtwan]

It works, the driver is working, but I still have no opengl ( glxinfo says direct rendering yes, but glxgears fails with segmentation fault

[jmtwan]

yes I do that but still have this fault and no Error or warning in Xorg.0.log.

[jmtwan]

glxinfo works well too and said that ATI 1.4 opengl is working and direct rendering is ok
