Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

32.

edit: Could it be due to the version of linux-api-headers?

2 core/linux-api-headers 3.3.2-1 [installed]
    Kernel headers sanitized for use in userspace
3 core/linux-headers 3.3.3-1 [installed]
    Header files and scripts for building modules for linux kernel

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Thanks for your advice, but unfortunately removing /lib/modules/extramodules-3.2-ARCH/ and rebooting didn't solve the problem. Maybe I need to reinstall catalyst-hook and catalyst-utils, too... I'll try it in ~10 hours when I'm back home and report back.

i'm also concerned about 3.4 kernel support for which there's no patch but just an ugly workaround which is also engaging a patching of kernel's headers, and there's kernel 3.4 rc4 already, guess there could be a problem with it in near future.

So I suppose that, for the time being, I should pass the offer that pacman have just made to me to update my kernel to 3.3.4 on my production machine right?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Upgrading to 3.3.4-1 caused a fallback to the default radeon driver.  Really surprised it didn't crash altogether.   Had to downgrade.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Removing /lib/modules/extramodules-3.2-ARCH/, updating to 3.3.4 and rebuilding catalyst-hook and catalyst-utils fixed the problem. Maybe something was unnecessary, but that's what I did. smile

Do you mean /lib/modules/extramodules-3.3-ARCH? That's the only extramodules I have

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

If you're using catalyst generator, just rebuild the module.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Unia: I had still /lib/modules/extramodules-3.2-ARCH/ (and /lib/modules/extramodules-3.3-ARCH, too) before the update to 3.4 for some reason. After removing the 3.2 directory I still have the 3.3 one left, but fglrx works again in spite of this fact.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Decided to give the kernel upgrade a shot, and it worked without any hassle for me.
I use catalyst-hook and didn't have to do anything, it rebuilt the module by itself and everything is fine after a restart.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I also use Catalyst hook without problems, but sometimes I need to rebuild it myself. Dunno why that is, but it's been doing it on and off for a while so I just rebuild anyway.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hi, I'm facing an innocuous but annoying problem. I once tried the open source driver and now I use fglrx. Everything works perfectly but every time I boot I get this error from udev:

udevd[162]: Error running install command for radeon

with varying number between parentheses. I think I have blacklisted the radeon module by creating /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf which contains:

install radeon /bin/false

Still I wonder why I get the udev error at boot. Maybe blacklisting is not the correct thing to do to remove the error? Sorry for the maybe-naive question but I don't know udev well.
Thanks

ps. I'm posting here because maybe some Catalyst user faced this before.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I wasn't aware that you could blacklist like that. I just write blacklist radeon.

I found that method in this news post:

http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … cklisting/

Anyway, I put the lines ChemBro suggested in my /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf. Now I go to bed, tomorrow morning I will reboot and then see what happens...
Meanwhile, thanks for the suggestions! smile

Did you have to downgrade Xorg to 1.11? The Wiki still says that Catalyst will not work with 1.12.

Oh, excuse me. I was aiming for the compatibility between Catalyst 12.4 and kernel 3.3.4. I wasn't talking about xorg versions - but to answer your questions: I am still on xorg111

Ok, thank you. But you said you reinstalled Arch, so that should have given you Xorg 1.12. So, I figured you were either on 1.12 OOTB or you downgraded it.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

^ I did quickly try the opensource driver so initially I was on xorg112, yes. The opensource driver gave me artifacts and terrible performance though, so either it's not fully functional (what I don't expect) or I missed something (what I'd rather expect tongue). Hence I installed Catalyst again and downgraded to xorg111

Is there any expectation for xorg112 support? I heard it's gonna be 12.6 as earliest...

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I would like to try GNOME Shell again - but before I install it, I'd like to know how the performance currently is with Catalyst. Is it worth testing, or is it still unstable/slow/artifacts etc?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

It performed quite well on my netbook with an AMD E-350 / Radeon 6320 chipset.
You will probably need to set 'export CLUTTER_VBLANK=none' in your profile for better performance though.
