Vi0L0, thank you. Everything is working now, and I have direct rendereing.

I have never had problems with ati`s catalyst installer till now. I will use the AUR from now on.

Thank you.

Thank you, It works really nicely now. Urxvt and ut2004 are a lot smoother now...

Yes, indeed. Just use AUR's catalyst-test and it will patch catalyst for you.
Tomorrow (i gotta sleep right now ) i will update [catalyst] repo
Edit: and probably prepare catalyst-test packages (maybe also repo with xorg-server 1.8, so it may cooperate with [xorg18] repo, which should land in [extra] in few days/maybe_weeks... - will see)

ATTENTION! This is IMPORTANT!

There are some issues with updating arch, there is new version of openssl - many packages needs to be recompiled and updated, xorg-server also. My Xes are broken now - some errors with uki - im using own xorg-server 1.8 builded on older openssl libs, so im gonna recompile it again with newer ones, and tell does it really work!
So my advise to you is DO NOT pacman -Syu! Im gonna test it tomorrow and tell does it work correctly. But for now dont update your systems - if something will go wrong theres no turning back! (at least i dont know how to rollback openssl, cuz when i did that my pacman brokes - i fixed that, but i guess you need livecd to rollback)

xD naaah, just dreamin about wonders

Anyhow everything seems ok now, uff... and as i can see xorg-server is back in [extra] (it wasnt there when i was writing attention), so if you were using it you can safely update, if not - recompile own xorg-server. Before recompiling dont forget to get full update from some serious mirror, like ftp.archlinux.org

So, do we have a patched 1.8 server for catalyst compatibility (i.e. version number hack)?

Yes, i wrote about that here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 11#p738711
For now you need to compile it by yourself, but maybe today i will prepare some repo with it

To get catalyst<=10.3 work with old xserver 1.6 after recent update you need to have /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
you may get it with AUR's openssl-compatibility http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36308
(read comments to get PKGBUILD for x86_64 version)

dcc24 · 2010-04-09 17:48:13

Vi0L0, after following your instructions for testing xserver 1.8 with catalyst 1.4, X refuses to start, sort of.

The module is successfully loaded, xorg.conf.d exists and has evdev/synaptics. Yet after startx it freezes on a black screen. Only hard reset works. Here's the kernel log:

I get those errors yesterday after updating arch without recompiling xorg-server... Its related with opessl libs. Try to compile xorg-server after full system update, and without old openssl libs on your system...

dcc24 · 2010-04-09 18:02:00

Well, I did.

- I've added the xorg18 repo.
- pacman -Suu and pacman -Syy.
- Conflicted with catalyst, so removed it with -Rd.
- Upgrade went fine.
- Built your xorg-1.8 with fglrx patch. Installed & restart.
- Built catalyst-test. Reboot.
- "startx" with the above kernel.log

All seems well. Any ideas?

Vi0L0 · 2010-04-09 18:05:41

Edit: ! Add nomodeset to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , so it may looks like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/1aa731c0-f626-4d01-a551-8eed3c2a35f3 ro nomodeset vga=794 splash quiet

[catalyst] repo with catalyst 10.3 should now work fine with recent updates and 2.6.33-ARCH kernel
(althought i have no time now for updating ~500MB of packages @ my i686 system and test does catalyst work fine there)

EDIT: [xorg18] repo has been moved to [testing]
So the use of [catalyst-test-xorg18] repos isnt as clear as it was before that fact ([testing] has a lot of new soft, sometimes some fresh soft may loose its previous funcionality) ... Also if your are using [testing] you should use [community-testing] repo also.
So i recommand [catalyst-test-xorg18] repo only for testers

[catalyst-test-xorg18] repo is online!!! :
with catalyst-test, patched xorg-server 1.8.0 (+ lib32-catalyst-test-utils for x86_64)
Edit: please update addresses of this repo... the new ones are below.

For i686:

[catalyst-test-xorg18]
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4321633/repo/ca … org18/i686

For x86_64:

[catalyst-test-xorg18]
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4321633/repo/ca … g18/x86_64

To use it you need to:
* add needed repos to /etc/pacman.conf - [catalyst-xorg18] must be above [testing], [testing] and [community-testing] above all others, ie for x86_64:

/etc/pacman.conf wrote:

(...)
[catalyst-test-xorg18]
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4321633/repo/ca … 18/x86_64/
[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
(...)

* now just
pacman -Syy
pacman -Suu
pacman -S catalyst-test
(optionally pacman -S lib32-catalyst-test-utils)
(and ofcourse pacman -S xorg-server)
* reboot

++ You may choose which maximize-fixed xorg-server you like :
xorg-server (here patched with backclear patch)
xorg-server-1.8-catalyst-maximize-fix (patched with fedora patch by dcc24)

** keyboard/mouse not working?
Please remember that old hal's input config doesnt work with new xorg-server...
Well it should work out of the box with provided with xorg-server 1.8 package files: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf10-quirks.conf
but it could happen that's not working / fitting to you sooo...

Read more here:
+ Introducing [xorg18] repo: http://www.mail-archive.com/arch-dev-pu … 12804.html
+ New config order: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_de … figuration - its better to use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory instead of fedora's /etc/xorg.conf.d

Do not add any new xserver Section into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf - this file is still used by catalyst - i mean ie dont add any Section "InputClass" into xorg.conf cuz when you do this both aticonfig and amdcccle wont start cuz of parsing xorg.conf error (just use /etc/xorg.conf.d directory for it)

(again i have no time now for updating ~500MB of packages @ my i686 system and test does catalyst-test-xorg18 work fine there )
Edit: tested, working fine on my recently updated i686 system

*** used xorg-server's PKGBUILD with fglrx-xorg-version.patch + backclear.patch and other needed files : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4321633/xorg-server.tar.gz

Uhh... not good... could you try my repo? maybe theres a problem with i686 (if i remembered well you are using i686)

@dcc24:
If nothing helps you can try to get /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
It's in AUR's openssl-compatibility http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36308
(althought it shouldnt work with my repo - xorg-server there was builded with fresh openssl libs)

I was getting exact same error when libssl and libcrypto doesnt fit to xorg-server... so i guess its must be related

I also tried with the version in your repo as well, no luck.

Edit: Well, this just got more interesting.

I've reverted back to 1.7.6 and problem persists! X cannot start! Though I strongly believe this is an fglrx issue, since 1.7.6 starts fine with xf86-video-ati.

I'll just wait for Vi0L0's i686 test
