fglrx module not loading / not found

Edit:

I noticed that when running depmod, i got an error about fglrx existing and bla bla bla error.
So, i ran rm /lib/modules/{kernel}/extramodules/fglrx* .
Then reinstall catalyst-dkms & catalyst-utils.
Then depmod. Then reboot.

============================================================================================================================
When i lsmod | grep fglrx, nothing is listed.
modprobe fglrx returns Module fglrx not found.

I have installed catalyst drivers according to the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fglrx .

# pacman -S catalyst-dkms catalyst-utils
# pacman -S lib32-catalyst-utils
# aticonfig --initial

I'm using systemd, so:
-Disable the radeon module from auto-loading. If it occurs in any file under /etc/modules-load.d/, remove the file (or, if the file contains multiple modules, just remove the radeon one).
-Either add fglrx on a new line of an existing module file located under /etc/modules-load.d/, or create a new file and add fglrx.
(radeon is blacklisted; i have a file called /etc/modules-load.d/fglrx with one line: fglrx )

And grub2:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Re: fglrx module not loading / not found

I don't see the module in either catalyst package.  Was one automatically built when you installed the packages?

Re: fglrx module not loading / not found

stonebit, please mark this thread [SOLVED] if you really fixed it.

BTW it is bad practice to alter a post only to tell that the problem at hand has been fixed. A final post in the thread would have been more suitable. So everyone knows on first sight what you did.

Re: fglrx module not loading / not found

Sorry about that. Turns out this is not really solved. I got a new kernel and it broke again.
I'm having to remove the old module fglrx.ko and reinstall catalyst-dkms & catalyst-utils (to rebuild the modules for the new kernel) for this to work.
