Re: No GLX on latest kernel, X, and catalyst

I don't know how you updated, but I use the catalyst repository, and in the last big update, there was an issue in the order of installing linux 3 and catalyst 11.7 (?), such that the fglrx hook failed. I had to redo building the image, whereupon the hook worked. Did you check for messages as it rebuilt the image?

Sorry if this was obvious, but I am not arch-guts/catalyst savvy.

All I did was simply reinstall catalyst-hook because the modules weren't added to the kernel because catalyst installed before Linux 3.0.

Re: No GLX on latest kernel, X, and catalyst

The catalyst and catalyst-utils packages were installed with the 3.0 kernel headers without any errors.  I don't use any other packages other than catalyst and catalyst-utils.

Re: No GLX on latest kernel, X, and catalyst

Did you try using catalyst-hook (or catalyst-daemon)? It will rebuild the module with each kernel update or any other time you run mkinitcpio. Try looking at the wiki. Specifically, the section 1.1.3 Tools.

Re: No GLX on latest kernel, X, and catalyst

fglrx has been compiled against my current kernel headers.

Re: No GLX on latest kernel, X, and catalyst

I experience the same problem (the module builds and loads just fine).

Re: No GLX on latest kernel, X, and catalyst

Anyone make any progress on this?  Kind of a blocker for those of us that are really into media, games, etc.
