amdcccle Problem

Well I finally got the ati proprietary installed and working, my only issue is with the control center amdcccle. When I try and run it I get the error:

Parse error on line 28 of section Screen in file xorg.conf
    The DefaultDepth keyword requires a number to follow it.
Parse error on line 28 of section Screen in file xorg.conf
    The DefaultDepth keyword requires a number to follow it.

My xorg.conf file is: http://pastebin.com/SxkLbd33

I don't see what the problem is as the DefaultDepth line seems like the correct syntax to me and without it I can't startx. Maybe I've missed something obvious, anyone with any ideas?

Re: amdcccle Problem

Maybe you have some unprintable chars there - tabs etc.? Try to write it

DefaultDepth<space>24

but of course insert just a space instead of <space> :-)


Edit: have you tried running w/o the xorg.conf?

Re: amdcccle Problem

Hi karol, thanks for your reply.

I tried changed all of the tabs to spaces and making sure there was only a single space on the DefaultDepth line and still the same issue.

If I run without an xorg.conf file it doesn't even attempt to use the fglrx driver, so I can't run amdcccle.

Any other ideas?

Re: amdcccle Problem

OMG, ATI drivers are a worse mess then I thought ...
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fgl … ot_working
Warning:  Do not add any new xserver Section into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf - this file is still used by catalyst - i mean ie dont add any Section "InputClass" into xorg.conf because when you do this both aticonfig and amdcccle wont start cause of parsing xorg.conf error (just use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory for it)

Try removing the offending parts.

Re: amdcccle Problem

Well, first I tried moving the InputClass sections into xorg.conf.d and still recieve the same error.

So I decided to try moving my entire config into the xorg.conf.d directory, and I still get the same error. This seems a bit strange if it is only parsing xorg.conf on startup sad

Re: amdcccle Problem

Run 'sudo updatedb' and after it has finished 'locate xorg.conf' - maybe you have another config file somewhere.
Simply moving the file may not be right, maybe you have to create some udev rules.

There's a subforum http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57084 you may want to check out, especially http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 76#p789476

Edit: do you have fglrx in the modules array in rc.conf?

Re: amdcccle Problem

Yeah I have fglrx in the modules array.

If I try and run sudo updatedb I get:

updatedb: command not found

I guess that I'm missing some package which gives that functionality. Will check out that thread for ideas, tis hugeeee.

Re: amdcccle Problem

Run 'pacman -S mlocate' to install updatedb.

If you don't know what package to install

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -S updatedb
error: 'updatedb': could not find or read package
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qo updatedb
/usr/bin/updatedb is owned by mlocate 0.22.4-1

'pacman -Qo' to the rescue.
