[Solved]Failed to start Load Kernel Modules

When I boot up Arch it says that it Failed to start Load Kernel Modules and when I get into my Desktop, the screen is tearing.

Using the latest kernel with i3wm

my systemctl status systemd-modules-load

● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

Not a kernel issue, moving to NC...

It looks like it is unable to load fglrx.

Do you have any fglrx specific configuration? Do you have anything in your /etc/modprobe.d ?
Could it be that fglrx is compiled for previous versions of kernel and this is a problem?

I don't have any specific fglrx configuration and in /etc/modprobe.d/ I have a file called modprobe.conf that contains

blacklist radeon
fglrx

I dont think fglrx was compiled for previous versions of the kernel because I used the kernel that the latest release contained. My kernel version is 3.16.3-1.

Check output of 'dmesg' and post anything related to fglrx or just suspicious.

I just fixed it.

I just installed catalyst again and I guess it did something to fglrx.

Thanks

I believe it recompiled module against the latest version.

Add [SOLVED] to subject line, please.
