[SOLVED] xf86-video-ati @ HD 7950 - everything works, except OpenGL

Hi!
This is my first post here, I am very glad to join your awesome community!

I need help with one thing: Recently I came back to Arch which was lying down on my disk since half of a year waiting for better time to play with it. I had it configured for latest GNOME + fglrx. After upgrading, everything worked okay, except catalyst - so I decided to give xf86-video-ati a try, after few hours of fight with amd's driver. I followed wiki article on first uninstalling catalyst and installing open source driver.  Everything worked perfectly - gdm and xfce4 were fine. Since then, I successfully configured load of stuff & started to build pretty decent everyday system. Then, I wanted to try Kodi aaand...

# kodi
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Any of 3d games I tried to run also couldn't start. Can your share your ideas how to solve that problem?

glxinfo:

# glxinfo

'mesa-libgl' should normally ensure proper acceleration/DRI support by itself.
Do you have any traces of Catalyst drivers lying around? (check with: find /usr -type f -print0 | xargs -0 pacman -Qqo >/dev/null | grep "No package owns" | grep -vE '/usr/share/(fonts|mime)/' )
Or perhaps an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that's not needed anymore?

I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf which I deleted in process of uninstalling proprietary driver, but I have many "no package owns" including files that have something to do with fglrx. What to do now?

Just delete them, especially when they weren't from an Arch package in the first place.

Re: [SOLVED] xf86-video-ati @ HD 7950 - everything works, except OpenGL

Okay, after backing up & deleting files, problem reduced to:

# glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  154 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
  Serial number of failed request:  30
  Current serial number in output stream:  29
# kodi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

... and then during reading wiki 100th time, I found that I forgot also to remove

/etc/profile.d/ati-flgrx.sh

.

To summarize, I needed to do as @byte adviced (remove all files that was left by fglrx) & to remove that one file mentioned above. After deletion & rebooting X didn't start properly, but after reinstalling packages (xf86-video-ati, mesa, mesa-libgl, lib32-mesa-libgl) & startx'ing manually, it went up without any problem.

Thank you for help. Problem is now solved.
