Catalyst 8.01 & xorg-server 1.4.0.90 & compiz-fusion

fettouhi · 2008-01-26 20:09:06

I started using Arch Linux today and I really like it, but I am having issues getting compiz-fusion to run. I have an ATI card Radeon HD 2400XT in my machine and I have installed the latest catalyst drivers from pacman (8-01) but when I try to run compiz-manager or fusion-icon I get the following error

[af@ANDRE ~]$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: gnome
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
* Using the GTK Interface
* Metacity is already running

[af@ANDRE ~]$ compiz-manager

I read back in december that the catalyst driver didn't support xorg-server 1.4 yet. Is that still the case for the 8.01 version of the catalyst driver and hence why compiz won't run?

Regards

Andre

Cerebral · 2008-01-26 21:58:09

Yeah, compiz + xorg-server 1.4 + catalyst = no dice at the moment.

kevin89 · 2008-01-27 12:07:48

I've heard aswell that xorg-server 1.4 + catalyst works bad atm, so I'm looking to downgrade my xorg-server to 1.3. I'll let you know if I get any success!
Btw, my pacman doesn't get catalyst 8.01, pacman -Sy just states that everything is up to date... :x

Cheers

kb3pev · 2008-01-31 05:08:19

If this works for you, can someone give me a link to the x86_64 xorg 1.3 packages, I don't have them anywhere.
Thanks in Advance.

May-C · 2008-02-01 11:51:43

would like to have the xorg-server-1.3 package for x86_64 too! Tried to build it myself but it did not work...

hpstg · 2008-02-03 18:59:34

Exactly the same problem here...

kb3pev · 2008-02-03 19:28:07

I found the 1.2 packages, but no go, xorg wouldn't even start. so it looks like 1.3 is what we need. Or maybe I am just being a noob and did something wrong

signor_rossi · 2008-02-08 13:02:18

Put me on the list for 1.3 packages too. I would also like to try to get AIGLX/Composite working with kde4.
Any ETA when this gets fixed? I know, this will probably not be posible to fix because fglrx is propietary, but why should it work with 1.3 and not with 1.4? Any links that describes problems clearer?

Thank you, signor_rossi.

Zibi1981 · 2008-02-08 16:34:34

Well, according to ATI's release notes for 8.1, the driver supports only up to 7.3 X server...

Cerebral · 2008-02-08 16:42:46

Xorg 7.3 == xorg-server 1.4, as far as I know.

Mikko777 · 2008-02-08 17:27:50

guess its fixed when ubuntu switches to new x-server...

stylopath · 2008-02-08 20:32:41

guess its fixed when ubuntu switches to new x-server...

Yes. I guess it gets fixed 1 or 2 weeks before hardy heron is released

Zibi1981 · 2008-02-09 22:02:58

Did anyone successfully installed 8.1 driver on 1.4 X server???

drewbug01 · 2008-02-10 07:37:38

yeah sure, the driver runs FINE on 1.4 server. just nothing fancy, like compiz is working.

Zibi1981 · 2008-02-10 14:20:15

Well, when I try to run my X server on that driver, I get following error

(II) fglrx(0): Shutdown CMMQS
(EE) fglrx(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0x2000 at 0xb7c78000
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] Closed DRM master.

which I described in this thread, but till now no one could help me

foofighter1337 · 2008-02-10 20:41:58

I seem to be having this same initial problem as well running an ATI X1400. Fglrxinfo and glxinfo look good I have tried the stock Arch XGL package, the source from AUR, and even modifying Xorg to run AIGLX; still no joy, with different errors each time. Hopefully you guys can sort it out for a noob like me
