Install ATI Drive failed

Dear all,

I download ati drive ati-driver-installer-11-3-x86.x86_64.run and run it, then get the following error, can you help?

The wiki on the Catalyst drivers says it is not recommended to use the installer from AMD's site. Have you tried the AUR Catalyst package?

Is the ATI Xpress 1270 supported in the proprietary driver? Catalyst 11.3 release notes lists supported cards.

muiz · 2011-04-22 07:43:02

Thanks caffeinebasedlifeform,

I tried to install Catalyst package before, and also got errors:

For AMD Catalyst 11.3 release notes, I can not find 1270 (or 1250), also for other versions(e.g. ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run, ati-driver-installer-10-x-x86.x86_64.run)

Now I'm use xf86-video-ati, sometimes the KDE windows seem die, both keyboard and mouse cannot work. I don't know why.

AMD's website says catalyst 11.3 supports up to X.Org 7.6. xorg-server 1.10 would be X.Org 7.7, I believe.

From the AUR comments: "did your update you X server to 1.10, The driver do not support 1.10"

muiz · 2011-04-22 08:51:57

Yes, I use pacman -Syu command to update X.Org X Server to1.10.1 (Release Date: 2011-04-15).

Can I uninstall 1.10 and then install an old one using pacman?

Easy to solve.

Just make sure you put the [radeon] repo first on your /etc/pacman.conf:

[radeon]
Server = http://spiralinear.org/perry3d/$arch/

Then

pacman -Syy

and install the packages

pacman -S xf86-video-ati-git ati-dri-git dri2proto-git glproto-git libdrm-git mesa-git

Reboot and it should be alright.

muiz · 2011-04-22 09:17:15

Thanks gtklocker!

When I install those packages, pacman reports some packages aren't exists

[muiz@hp ~]$ sudo pacman -S xf86-video-ati-git ati-dri-git dri2proto-git glproto-git libdrm-git mesa-git
error: target not found: ati-dri-git
[muiz@hp ~]$ sudo pacman -S xf86-video-ati-git dri2proto-git glproto-git libdrm-git mesa-git
error: target not found: mesa-git

Can I ignore these two packages to continue to install?

gtklocker · 2011-04-22 09:26:51

No, this is quite strange.

Maybe Perry3D is updating the repo, retry in 15 or 30 minutes.

And make sure you do

pacman -Syy

My bad, sorry. Things have changed by the last time I checked them.

Well make sure you put [radeon] *first* and remove [catalyst].

Then:

Check the pacman -Qi of the packages at the bottom of the output you posted, where it says "...requires libgl" (intel-dri, mach-64, etc.) Are they explicitly installed or a dependency? What do you need them for? What happens if you remove them. Make sure [radeon] is above [core] and issue pacman -Syy. Then retry to install the packages you couldn't install before.

Man, I haven't seen what happened. It's simple.

pacman -Rd libgl

And then do your work blissfully.

Because it isn't a package in the repositories. It is only available in AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15571
But you don't necessarily need it. It is an optional package that adds support for the patented (therefore it is not in official mesa) s3 texture compression and it is loaded on runtime, if available. As far as I know it is only needed for some games.

As for these:
:: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
This are graphics drivers that you don't need. For some reason they have been put into the "xorg" group with the xf86-video-* packages.

Just do

pacman -Rncs tdfx-dri sis-dri savage-dri r128-dri mga-dri mach64-dri intel-dri

(don't do it, if it wants to uninstall nearly everything )

If you use the radeon repository it is probably best to use everything in it with something like

pacman -S $(pacman -Sql radeon)

where "pacman -Sl radeon" shows all packages in the radeon repository and "pacman -Sql ..." displays only the raw package name so it can be used for "pacman -S" input.

Regarding ati-dri: As far as I know it is included in the mesa-full package, you don't need to worry about that.

Regarding your try with catalyst: First you should know that at the moment amd has not released an official driver that works with xorg server 1.10.
There is only "catalyst-test". It is a prerelease that is especially given to ubuntu because amd officially supports ubuntu. However, I use it and it works as good or as bad as the "stable" releases.

If you want to use the proprietary driver you have two choices:
Use catalyst-test or use the old catalyst. But with the old catalyst you would also need an old xorg-server with xf86-input-* packages from somewhere. I wouldn't recommend using old packages.

There are some good reasons for wanting the proprietary driver: The powermanagement is still a bit better than that of the free drivers (but they are already pretty good), the performance in OpenGL applications such as games is often much better especially with applications that use OpenGL 3 or 4 and it has video acceleration. But there are also good reasons to not use it: Alt-Tab in fullscreen 3d-applications often doesn't work as it should, especially with compositing, the video acceleration is broken for some videos anyway, etc.

xf86-video-ati and ati-dri should really be removed. They depend on libgl and catalyst has an own libgl that replaces mesa's libgl. So if you install catalyst they probably wouldn't work anyway.

I think the catalyst repository is a bit messy at the moment.

xorg-server-catalyst-maximize-fix is a patched xorg server 1.9 that fixed some performance issues with resizing and maximizing windows. But they are fixed in catalyst anyway so it doesn't really have a purpose now. But since it "provides" xorg server 1.9 and the old catalyst package depends on xorg server < 1.10 pacman thinks this is suitable. The xf86-input-* packages need to be compiled for a specific xorg server version and there are none for xorg server 1.9 anymore. So the repository needs to be fixed: Either these packages are provided in the repository or xorg-server-catalyst-maximize-fix gets also removed from the repository or the old catalyst package gets removed from the repository.

quires xf86-input-evdev
:: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2

:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2

That's the same problem as above: For some reason these graphics drivers are in the "xorg" group. They all depend on mesa's libgl whereas catalyst wants to replace mesa's libgl with its own. Just uninstall them.

muiz · 2011-04-28 01:50:17

Now KDE still has hang problem, no response from Keyboard & Mouse ( I check the cpu/memory usage, both of them is normal )

Pacman 3.5.x changed a bit, please read the pacman man page. Here is a relevant section of it:

pacman(8) wrote:

Skips dependency version checks. Package names are still checked. Normally, pacman will always
check a package’s dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are installed and there are
no package conflicts in the system. Specify this option twice to skip all dependency checks.

Btw, uninstall all the *-dri packages you have, and any xf86-video-* packages. (asuming catalyst 11.4 supports your card in the first place)

Since yesterday the catalyst repository has been updated and what I wrote above doesn't apply anymore. catalyst 11.4 is a bit newer than catalyst-test and supports xorg 1.10 and the "fixed" xorg in there is xorg 1.10 too. So no conflicts anymore when trying to install that.

But since you are trying with the open source radeon repository it's irrelevant. Just for information.

So the best way is probably:
- remove all the xf86-video-* packages (not -input-) and all the *-dri packages. You won't need them.
- install all packages from the radeon repository at once to avoid confusing pacman with dependencies: "pacman -S $(pacman -Sql radeon)"
