Re: Fglrx and Invalid Xorg

Installing fglrx via pacman might avoid that problem.

You can also use abs, see arch wiki for more info.

Moreover fglrx drivers you tried to install are very old unless you have a video card older than radeon 9800.

Let us know if it works.

Re: Fglrx and Invalid Xorg

I need a fglrx 8.28.8 driver for a ATI Radeon 9100. Is there someone who still has one around or is able to build one?

Out of curiosity, why do you need fglrx ?

Because I'm unable to get 3D/dri working with the xf86-video-ati driver and would like to play UrbanTerror on that old machine .

Hm, 3d/dri should work perfectly with r200 chipset. It even works nearly correctly on r300 chipsets now.
But good luck playing UrbanTerror with that, I tried this game recently again (on a gf 5900xt), and it was not exactly smooth, I had fps drops to 10-20 fps.
