"Ask ATI" dev thread

[mirv]

oh look I am using 2.6.29.3 now!
and amdcccle still works.

I had been tired for my previous post - never heard of anyone with the same problem as I managing to fix it. It was always unresolved in the gentoo forums.
I'm not doubting that it does indeed work on gentoo 64bit, I just can't figure out why it's affecting me, or has affected others. As a result, I can't say that everything has worked for me from ati - though I can say the actual drivers run just fine (and I'm even using 2.6.29).

as I wrote before I suspect some dangling symlink or old file somewhere. amdcccle is a little bit sensitive about such a disturbance.

[mirv]

yes, and I checked all of that, as I also wrote before. I had checked all that when the gentoo issue arose. Everything is linked fine, there are no errors in dmesg or any x log. Tried rewriting my xorg.conf, tried lots of things.
I personally think something is compiled with, or without, a certain use flag, and that's causing the issues.

You people drove me back to windows... i can't believe how negative and rude you guys ALWAYS are. I rarely had any troubles worth worrying over. Video tears a little? Oh well, I can still see it well enough. Wine is slow? Oh hey, turned off some of the 3d effects that didn't add much to the game and it was fine. Compiz doesn't work right? I'll wait until compiz fixes the problem, because it is NOT Ati's fault or problem.

Ati is providing you drivers as a... you know what, it isn't worth it. You won't listen. Heck, you will still likely try to respond to me, even though I am about to tell you that I am deleting my account. Have fun with your negative attitudes, I'm going to go have fun and be happy with friends.

I know exactly how you feel. Windows is currently superior for gaming, but you wont get that through the thick heads of most linux gurus. I have been trying to make some see this point on this forum and others and always get the same attitude. sigh

I can send you my make.conf and xorg.conf if you want to compare.

Please do, although due to a holiday weekend I won't be able to look at it until Monday.

Superior for gaming??

Windows is superior for nothing guys!
Well to be fair maybe for porno spyware and hacker thieves attacks are wonderful as well as viruses from antivirus companies...

Linux systems are now becoming real popular and don't take negative opinions as you call them so bad, it is the feeling we all linux fans want from our systems to be as best as they can! Development is synonimus word to linux, and most of the linux gurus go mad cause they know that 98% of the problems caused to the linux distros are from proprietary software such as Catalyst griver is. Cause companies are only after profit and not progress for software and society generally.

Very easy to reset:

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
aticonfig --initial

Simple, isnt it

[jamey0824]

you got a simple reset for gmd.conf?

[MartjeB]

sudo rm /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom

Simple, isn't it?

No, joking aside, you should only edit the *-custom file.
