modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

In my ongoing struggle to get fglrx drivers to work on my computer, I decided to do a modprobe -v fglrx to see if there were any errors (my computer boots into a black screen when using the fglrx drivers). When I did a

 sudo modprobe -v fglrx

I get the following error:
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.22-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted. I tried doing a chmod 755 and 777 on the file, and I still get the same error. I think this is finally getting me on the right track to get this working. Anyone know of anything to get this working?

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

Is your current user added to /etc/sudoers ?
You can check this by switching to root user using "su" and executing "visudo".

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

I doubt it's a sudoers problem - that's a modprobe error line.  See if anything pops up in dmesg | tail after you try modprobing.  If you have the radeon or dri modules loaded, I believe they conflict with fglrx so check for that too.

Yep, you are right. It is not an issue with sudo ...

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

I'm at work right now so I cant check my dmesg, but I unloaded the radeon/drm modules then loaded the fglrx and it loaded without error, but I still booted to a black screen. I don't think I'll ever get fglrx drivers working again.

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

Make sure xterm is installed (pacman -S xterm)
Which fglrx packages do you have installed?  pacman -Qs fglrx will list them.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg | grep fglrx may still have some info that might be helpful.

Also, it may help to run hwdetect --show-agp then list, in rc.conf MODULES array, the agp modules followed by the fglrx module (to ensure AGP is loaded first on boot)

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

I don't have xterm installed... If that's the problem I think I may cry....

Could that maybe be added as a dependency?

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

Yeah, I've heard reports that, if xterm isn't installed, X acts pretty screwy.  Give it a shot.

-edit- well, it's not a dep of fglrx specifically - afaik the problem is with X in general. -/edit-

Even if it's a PCI card?

Unfortunately, xterm didn't fix my problem. Still boots to a black screen, I'll post the log in a minute

I'm pretty sure - give it a shot, if it doesn't help or makes things worse revert it for now.  I'm not terribly sure how the linux kernel in general handles PCI/PCIe video cards, tbh.

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

Sometimes the X startup scripts spit out errors that end up off screen. You may want to try
redirecting error output from startx to a log file:

startx 2> xlog.out

Take a look in xlog.out and see if there are any errors somewhere in the middle of the file. If you are missing any components X is looking for, errors may appear in the log output.

I have a feeling it's trying to read the VGA port instead of the DVI port. I misplaced my VGA cable so I can't test that till I find it.

That's probably it - take a look at this reply in a different thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 17#p264517

Basically you need to change your BusID (probably to PCI:1:0:1) by adding the line

BusID       "PCI:1:0:1"

to this section:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device"
    Driver        "fglrx"
    Option         "UseInternalAGPGart" "no"
    Option        "VideoOverlay" "on"
    Option        "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Option        "ForceMonitors" "TMDS, NONE"
    Option        "BusType" "PCIE"
EndSection

I've tried that before I think... I'll give it a try again though

Didn't fix anything. I still get the same error in my Xorg.0.log

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

You dont need any AGP stuff when using PCIe. I think when using PCIe BusID might be different. Run lspci | grep VGA , you should see something like this

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT]

Note the numbers at beginning of the line. This would be BusID "PCI:5:0:0" (I think)

This is DVI instead of VGA, would that change anything?

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

I noticed this line in your Xorg.0.log:

(II) fglrx(0): Connected Display2: DFP on internal TMDS [tmds1]
(II) fglrx(0): Display2 EDID data ---------------------------
(II) fglrx(0): Manufacturer: SAM  Model: 27f  Serial#: 1296380466

(II) fglrx(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode

Don't know if that message about DPMS being off is an issue.
Might be worth investigating.

Certainly seems strange that two displays are being detected when you've only got the one.
I've never used DVI so I don't know if that is a potential source of problems.

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

I'm not really sure either... I've never used DVI till I got this monitor. I think it's detecting 2 because my video card has 2 ports running out of it. Just a guess though...

Well I have 2xDVI connectors and my display connected with DVI cable so dunno for sure. For me it shows as an VGA controller, but hey thats nvidia. There may be another line also, something like "display controller" etc in lspci output.Try to comment out those Option lines from your Device -section. 

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device"
    Driver        "fglrx"

#   Option        "ForceMonitors" "TMDS, NONE"

Re: modprobe fglrx: operation not permitted

I'm at work so I don't know the exact output of my lspci, but I remember there are 2 for my video card

1.00.0 is VGA compatible controller: blahblahblah like yours.

The second is:

1.00.1 blahblah Radeon X800GTO blahblah [Secondary]

EDIT: Now that I'm at home, here's what it actually is tongue

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R423 UI [Radeon X800PRO (PCIE)]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc R423 UI [Radeon X800PRO (PCIE)] Secondary
