AMD Catalyst driver crashing X.Org

Thurisaz.relaybot · 2015-07-18 22:17:52

I'm trying to get the proprietary AMD driver to work on my Lenovo B5070 laptop. The opensource drivers seem to work fine, but I need better performance.

lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller (rev 0b)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller (rev 0b)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series USB xHCI HC (rev 04)
00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series HECI #0 (rev 04)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller (rev 04)
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev e4)
00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev e4)
00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev e4)
00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev e4)
00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev e4)
00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series USB EHCI #1 (rev 04)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series LPC Controller (rev 04)
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 04)
00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series SMBus Controller (rev 04)
02:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
09:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
0a:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun LE [Radeon HD 8550M / R5 M230]

My laptop appears to have (I'm unsure, though) a PowerXpress graphics card with both Intel and AMD controllers. Following the wiki article, I downgraded my X.Org to version 1.16 and installed the catalyst-total-pxp package from AUR. Then I issued "aticonfig --initial -f" to generate the xorg.conf file.
After reboot, GDM works fine, as well as text ttys, but X.Org fails to start after logging in.

xorg.conf:

Edit: my bad i saw you use xorg 1.16 after i posted..

Second thought that comes to mind would be trying an even earlier xorg version see if helps

I am bumping this thread because I'm experiencing the exact same issue, I have an HD 8750M.
I have tried using the xorg 1.17 to 1.14 repos without success whatsoever.
Any kind of help is appreciated.

YumyWatermelon, please start your own thread.

In the opening post, include your xorg.conf, full lspci -k output , xorg log and dmesg or journalctl -b .
