Default Re: Radeon is the most buggy graphic card

Summing up, I re-tried two configurations: ATI native driver ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run and
Suse community driver. The both are not working with Radeon HD4670.
The xorg.conf files are:

Default A few ideas

1. Take a look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, see what error and warning messages are present.

2. The importance of /etc/X11/xorg.conf is diminishing these days. A lot of the traditional entries are superfluous now. E.g. all those font and module statements, and mode lines, can come out.

3. Over in Setup an ATI card with the new FGLRX drivers for Compiz-Fusion - Compiz Community Forums, member djdoo has authored hundreds of notes regarding ATI driver setup in OpenSUSE.

4. Remove your /etc/ati/amdpcsdb file, restart X. Don't worry, it gets rebuilt.

5. Take a look at /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log, see where things go wrong.

6. The latest ATI driver notes recommend not running SAX2, just amdcccle.

7. I have a radeon 2600 card. With the latest ATI fglrx driver, I just run it and accept all the defaults. It works fine.

Default Couple of more ideas

Something is blocking you from making or installing the fglrx module.

Are you sure you are building as root?

Do you have /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so ?

/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so ?

Directory permissions look OK?

Remove any old modules before adding new one?

md5 check OK on the ATI driver file?

The last few times I loaded the ATI driver in my AMD64 box, I was at runlevel 3 as root; ran the file accepting all defaults, did aticonfig --initial, then reboot. No sax2. I did copy over a somewhat abbreviated xorg.conf file that is working fine for me, But aticonfig's version should work.

FYI, the last few lines of my fglrx-install.log file are:
Code:
  LD [M]  /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.ko            
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.23-0.1-obj/x86_64/default'
build succeeded with return value 0  
duplicating results into driver repository...                    
done.                                                            
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
- recreating module dependency list                              
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules                     
done.
I note that my kernel is a bit newer than yours. Probably not the problem.

Default Re: Couple of more ideas

As root, enter rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
Verify that your kernel-default, kernel-source, and kernel-syms all reference the same kernel version.

Verify that your kernel-default, kernel-source, and kernel-syms all reference the same kernel version.

HTH
rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.25-8.1
kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.4
kernel-syms-2.6.25.20-0.4
kernel-source-2.6.25.20-0.4
kernel-docs-2.6.25.20-0.4

it appears that the version of the headers is different. Should I recompile kernel headers then ? How I do ?

Are you sure you are building as root?

Do you have /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so ?

/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so ?

Directory permissions look OK?

Remove any old modules before adding new one?

md5 check OK on the ATI driver file?

The last few times I loaded the ATI driver in my AMD64 box, I was at runlevel 3 as root; ran the file accepting all defaults, did aticonfig --initial, then reboot. No sax2. I did copy over a somewhat abbreviated xorg.conf file that is working fine for me, But aticonfig's version should work.

FYI, the last few lines of my fglrx-install.log file are:
Code:
  LD [M]  /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.ko            
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.23-0.1-obj/x86_64/default'
build succeeded with return value 0  
duplicating results into driver repository...                    
done.                                                            
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
- recreating module dependency list                              
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules                     
done.
I note that my kernel is a bit newer than yours. Probably not the problem.
