fglrx: module mismatch after last upgrade

onearm · 2006-09-11 10:37:32

Ok, I know what it means and I know that everything should work...but it doesn't

After yesterday upgrade of xorg-server the ati-drivers conflict with the new version

I've done some researches and even using startx -- -ignoreABI doesn't help:

I've tried also the newest ati drivers ( 8.28.8 ) with no luck (and btw the current PKGBUILD doesn't work too, it complains about a already existing links to Makefile.lib.c; applying the patch ati-makefile-2.6.16.patch correct the problem).
The open source's ati drivers work, and I'm using them now. xorg.conf hasn't changed at all and, no, generating one new with aticonfig doesn't solve the problem.

ati-fglrx-utils 8.27.10-4 is built for Xorg 7.1 - if you don't have that version, then you need to update it.

onearm · 2006-09-11 13:29:29

It is the 7.1 version. As I said, I got this message after having updated xorg-server (1.1.1-2 I think)

According to my computer (which was last synced when xorg 7.1 came into the current tree), 8.28.8 arn't the latest ati drivers:

[chris@toaster ~]$ pacman -Ss fglrx
extra/ati-fglrx 8.27.10-1
    ATI precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets. Drivers for the Linux kernel.

    ATI precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets. Drivers for the -beyond Linux kernel.
extra/ati-fglrx-utils 8.27.10-4

Great. That's why I said:

You'll note I said nothing about xorg-server there. I'll repeat, being less vague:

Make sure you have ati-fglrx-utils 8.27.10-4 - that's the version of ati-fglrx-utils you need. If you don't have that version of ati-fglrx-utils (8.27.10-4) then update ati-fglrx-utils.

onearm · 2006-09-11 14:42:52

Ok I'm ageing, but I'm not so dumb to not try to update the drivers when I have some problems with them .

 pacman -S ati-fglrx-utils
:: ati-fglrx-utils-8.27.10-4: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

pacman -S ati-fglrx-beyond
:: ati-fglrx-beyond-8.27.10-1: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

and, btw isn't xorg-server the... X server? Or have I misunderstood something? :?:

To chrismortimore:

I know that the latest drivers are 8.27.10 but as you can see here the last published by ati are the 8.28.8. I compiled them with the pkgbuild of the 8.27.10 hoping that they'd be more compatible with Xorg 7.1 but they gave me the same error.

Ahh, I didn't know ati's latest is 8.27.8 (cos I don't actually have an ati card).

Fair enough... I'm looking at the PKGBUILD right now - which architecture are you running? Arch i686 or x86_64? Looking at the PKGBUILD, it looks like it only uses the x710 drivers for i686 arch, and is still using the x690 drivers for 64.

I'm using custom-built 8.28.8 drivers for i686 and they're working fine - if you want to try the PKGBUILDs for them I can tar them up and upload them.

onearm · 2006-09-12 07:20:01

i686 for me. I've used the official (the one in extra I mean) pkgbuild for both fglrx-beyond and fglrx-utils and indeed they work fine, meaning that they get installed correctly but the module mismatch remains.

If you want to send me the tar feel free to do it, I'll test it a bit even if I doubt that it'd do much difference (meaning that the problem probably it's not in the driver itself but elsewhere)

Cerebral · 2006-09-13 00:32:44

I've tarred up all my fglrx PKGBUILDS and such in the following file:

http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~tjw … lrx.tar.gz

Hope it works.

onearm · 2006-09-13 09:57:50

I got it working now

At first, compiling ati-fglrx-beyond with the Cerebral's pkgbuild they gave me this error:

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'
ln: creating symbolic link `./Makefile.lib.c' to `../scripts/Makefile.lib.c': File exists
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.lib.c] Error 1
make: *** [_module_/var/abs/local/ati-fglrx-beyond/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'

ok, let's remove that link then, I thought. But after having done that:

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'
  CC      scripts/Makefile.lib.o
gcc: scripts/Makefile.lib.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.lib.o] Error 1
make: *** [_module_/var/abs/local/ati-fglrx-beyond/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'

That was weird :?
After googling a bit, I've found an idea from the ubuntu forum where it says to run

make scripts/

from /usr/src/linux-$kernver/ ; after a little wait time to allow the compiling, I retried to make the driver compiling and this time they worked flawlessly
No more module mismatch, I wonder why I didn't have that Makefile.lib.c in the kernel source directory....

Anyway, thanks for your help Cerebral
