AMD Catalyst 7.12 Linux Driver -- The Baby's In Surgery

A good point for this driver :

suspend and hibernation (on Ubuntu gutsy) are back with the SLUB support integrated in the release. And this is far more important than Compiz ...

Yep, it suspends but it will still wake up with black screen Well hope some tweaking in acpi-support will fix that. Will report any potential success

I had the same problem when i uninstalled the ati-drivers. I had to re emerge xorg-server. If you don't use Gentoo you could always try to install xorg again.

This new driver is not even starting for me:

I don't know if it is because of the resolution (1680x1050) or I hit another bug. I'm back with the previous version.

First the good:

- Setting screen gamma outside of amdcccle works now, so having gamma set up inside games will work

L.

That issue still isn't resolved for me. Any idea why? My ET is still dark as hell.

[benneque]

@ZedDB: thanks! yes, i use gentoo.. i'm reemerging xorg-server right now!

[shamooki]

although I do hope things will rapidly continue improving -I do need my framebuffer-

That's a very bold wish, regarding the driver's progress during the last months....

I think the only chance ATI has not to lose the entire Linux market is to hand out the 2D and 3D specs yesterday. :-/

[benneque]

YAY it's running
xorg 1.4
9600xt agp
~x86 gentoo

[givemesugarr]

as i said: the directory is empty!

find -name libglx.so /

this would search all the root to find the libglx.so.
if it cannot find it, then reinstall the driver since there has been some corruption when installing it. on gentoo the ati directory is /usr/lib/opengl/ati and if something is missing there then emerge ati-drivers again.

I had the same problem when i uninstalled the ati-drivers. I had to re emerge xorg-server. If you don't use Gentoo you could always try to install xorg again.

this is independent from xorg-server since the module is one ati module.

eselect opengl set ati

somehow it seems that the ebuild would not set the right opengl. i had the same problem, but after the reforcing of opengl to ati then it worked again.

That issue still isn't resolved for me. Any idea why? My ET is still dark as hell.

i have this two

Option "GammaCorrectionI" "0x06419064"
Option "GammaCorrectionII" "0x06419064"

set into section device and gamma settings seem to work in apps that can adjust them. i don't know if this could be related. and what overlay are you currently using? give a try to the opengl overlay. maybe ET could not set it if it's on Xv overlay.

@ZedDB: thanks! yes, i use gentoo.. i'm reemerging xorg-server right now!

it's useless to reemerge xorg-server. i can assure you that the driver works fine on gentoo. i've installed and run it. you just have to remember to do an etc-update or dispatch-config after emerging it and an eselect opengl set ati and it should work. also you should do a ls -Rl on the /usr/lib/opengl/ati/ there you should see the various files needed for fglrx to run. you may also do a revdep-rebuilt just in case you have some broken linkage on your system, but reemerging xorg-server is useless.

[benneque]

i reemerged xorg-server , and then all those xf86-drivers and of course the ati-drivers and everything works now!!


EDIT: is it possible tu run compiz with xorg 1.4 ??
