I recall some magic happening with Awesome if the --no-argb option were passed. I had no issues like that with or without the option some time back though. Do you mean this doesn't occur with the open-source drivers? If so, I'd recommend you to create a thread for this.

My GPU is 5870, and yes, it doesn't happen with the open-source driver.

i think my problems are inside "gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fstack-protector-strong’ " but i don't know how to get rid of this error. Anyone?

EDIT:
I noticed that -fstack-protector-strong is only for gcc 4.9 and it is provided only in testing archlinux
so I activated the testing repo, made

# pacman -S libtool gcc

and then just

# pacman -R catalyst-hook
# pacman -S catalyst-hook

to let catalyst-hook proc and finally fglrx was compiled

Hi,
with all packages updated gcc 4.9.0-2 and linux 3.14.4-1 I have the same problem
Can you help me?

hippieben · 2014-05-17 21:17:36

Just ran an update today and pacman is prompting me with this... "warning: libpng12: local (1.2.51-1) is newer than catalyst (1.2.50-1)" I've never seen that before, nor did I even know libpng was a part of the catalyst repo (is it?). Have others seen this? Did your update go well? Just seems odd so I thought I'd check in with the homies and see what's good.

Thanks.

You mean there's exact same error in the log after running ie.:

? Odd thing... on which architecture?

uuuh, yes, it's in catalyst for some long long time, iirc it was there before it hit aur, which was before it hit community...
Landed there because its needed for gdebugger and codexl to work.
Anyway I think it's time to remove it. Thanks for the head up

suggests problems with a toolchain, i guess . Try to reinstall gcc (or gcc-multilib if you are using it), maybe whole base-devel, and try again.
What is `gcc --version` saying?

Thanks for your answer.
I have reinstalled in order:
- gcc
- whole base-devel
- base
- linux-headers
- gcc-multilib (remove gcc)
- gcc (gcc-removed)

gcc --version output is

Hey guys,

I've been struggling with catalyst for a week for my Dell 7520, and ended up being without a usable graphical interface for the weekend >.<
Tried the open source drivers on a brand new install, no dice.

Yesterday I got integrated graphics to work through catalyst-total-pxp, xf86-video-intel and intel-dri, but the AMD driver is playing coy.

Using all the updated packages, from AUR through packer.

Any idea about what might be happening, or (more importantly) how can I fix it?

here's my Xorg.0.log

rodrigolc · 2014-05-19 17:19:54

Sooo, my search skills must have been failing me these days, but I finally got the driver to work
But GDM isn't being a gentleman and a scholar >.<
It seems LXDM and KDM are getting along with catalyst just fine, it's just GDM that keeps failing to run.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask anymore, but do any of you guys have any idea of what might be happening?

[edit: verb tenses]

[edit 2]
For anyone stumbling on this post, I downgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.99.910- for catalyst to work

This is a bugfix-release only for The Witcher II, which just has been released "for Linux" (well, it still has a Wine-like wrapper...). Anyhow, please update.

Thanks for the head up. I just get back from a trip, its late so I will update pkgs tomorrow. Edit: done, archive repo is called [catalyst-stable-14.4-rev1]
Too bad that I won't be able to test Witcher 2 on my own - I bought the game months ago on the official site (cdp.pl), but I don't see linux edition there and there's no steam key, pretty sad.
Edit: btw comment from phoronix forums:

Driver update's in the repo. Thanks Vi0L0 for the quick response.

About TW 2: It starts more reliably now but there's no improvements in performance with my HD 6670. It still sucks like in "half a second lagging behind" on quite low settings.
So in conclusion, the port now sucks more reliably.

yeah, it's been discussed in this topic since page 259, it's some kind of incompatibility with the two that hasn't been sorted out.
if you want to stay on GNOME 3.12 you have the option of disabling GDM with systemctl and using a different compatible manager such as SLiM.

VOT Productions · 2014-05-26 20:31:27

'Ello,

I have a problem on Catalyst (any version) where after 5-60 minutes it will just freeze up X without logging anything. This is a really weird and annoying issue to diagnose, as it doesn't leave anything in the logs.
I own a Radeon HD7750, open source drivers work fine if a bit slow.

I've also noticed that 2D acceleration on Catalyst is painfully slow, and it can take up to several seconds to redraw a window.

By the way, the machine is SSHable when it crashes, but I can't get logs to show errors because of the sudden crash issue.

Hi *
I think I messed up my X installation

I was having horrible 2D performance when scrolling.
So I decided to uninstall the catalyst drivers.

I had installed them via the additional repo.
I had to issue pacman -Rdd catalyst-utils catalyst-libgl to get rid of them.

I think I followed the instructions, but smth must have gone wrong.

I can't get my X back

/var/log/Xorg.0.log tells me that fglrx is still tried to be loaded:

[ 17.376] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist)....

How can I completely get rid of fglrx?

I really hope I don't need to reinstall,
I tried updating everything pacman -Syuu, and I removed nomodeset and all that....

I hope someone can help!

Vi0L0 · 2014-05-27 07:53:14

Didn't you forget to remove xorg.conf? If you did it and problem persists then be sure that there's no /etc/modules-load.d/catalyst.conf

phonky · 2014-05-27 13:35:35

Vi0l0 thanks for helping.

I did remove xorg.conf - however, I made a mistake and did NOT reboot first after removing catalyst* first...
And there's no file in /etc/modules-load.d/...

phonky · 2014-05-27 14:24:04

I've tried removing xf86-video-ati, removing xorg-server and xorg-server-common, lightdm, reinstalling and even reinstalling the linux package, recreating the grub config - no joy.

Looks badly as I'll have to reinstall ((((

phonky · 2014-05-27 14:38:59

to make things worse, I get "[ 4.844143] [drm:radeon_init] *ERROR* No UMS support in radeon module!" at boot,
which according to googling is when you have a nomodeset in the grub config...which I had removed...and recreated...
looks like a veritable mess?

Last week my 6870 died and I decided to change to nvidia. All my steam games load 100% faster, better and stronger
I'm here only to thank you, Vi0l0, for the years of support and your hard work making these horrendous drivers work in my pc.

phonky · 2014-05-28 01:52:17

ok I got a step further!

For some reason unknown to me I had a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

that file contained a section with a "Device" - with the fglrx module...
removing that file at least now it's not looking for fglrx.

BUT

still it doesn't load X, but it feels like I am one step away!
bear with me...

I have at boot

[     8.428175] [drm:radeon_init] *ERROR* No UMS support in radeon module!

this is the same output that if I'd do modprobe radeon

Now, googling I found out that this error message is there if you have nomodeset in kernel parameters

But I don't have nomodeset in my kernel parameters!
Also, there's nothing in /etc/modprobe.d/ other than alsa-base.conf

What else could prevent radeon to be loaded correctly?
