Here is my aticonfig (x86_64): http://csslayer-aur-repo.googlecode.com/files/aticonfig

File length must be the same - otherwise it won't work at all. The difference was that i puted double zeros before /usr/lib(*) string, and you puted it after this string smile. And yes - your solution works well.
I guess i will made bspatch for it and put it into catalyst-utils package when/if i will be sure that powerXpress switch is working.
On the other hand i'm not sure is it corresponding with Arch Philosophy to rename libglx.so from libgl package and to make libglx.so a symlink - in fact i'm sure it's miles from our philosophy - but oh well... we will see.
I think that i can do some tests in switching catalyst / oss ati driver.

Modify it by hand can also get same effect. I think all the things that aticonfig do is 1. change symlink, 2. modify amdpcsdb.

It surelly looks so. It doesn't even tries to switch libGL - which is pretty strange.
So AMD did an old trick known in linux community for ages - linking libs - only amdpcsdb entry is something new.
I'm still not sure how can it work with KMS - as soon as i'll find more time i will try to test that with oss driver.


Great work! Thanks

libGL ought to be switched by fglrx_drv.so, because I saw some lib64 string and relative message in that. Since you cannot break gl program beforce xorg restarted, so libGL should be switched after xorg shutdown (libglx has been loaded by xorg, so it doesn't matter), but even I patched fglrx_drv.so, PowerXpress still not work here.

Xorg.0.log shows it detect it's a switchable card, but always choose the integrated one.

Actually KMS.. emmm, rmmod and modprobe might works.

V-Sync doesn't work very well in 3D Games... Grrr.
FPS is often above 60 fps... I tried a Nvidia card with the same game (CS 1.6 just to tried), no problem.
Someone has already noticed this?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I currently have the 11.3 driver from the [catalyst] repository and xorg-server 1.9 from [xorg19] repository installed. How do I upgrade to the 11.4 driver and xorg-server 1.1, do I need to remove the [xorg19] repository from the .conf file and just update? I just want to be sure i'm not gonna break anything while trying to upgrade...
Will I be able to successfully upgrade to gnome3/gnome-shell afterwards?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Major problems after Gnome 3 upgrade.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Gnome 2 and openbox were working just fine. But, this is catastrophy.

Any clues.

AMD has a 3 month release cycle (3 teams for a month, who test the driver for 3 month before release). So if they fix this bug tomorrow, the driver with the fix will be here in august.

And still.... keyword is "if"... smile

Open source driver is much hotter than fglrx.... so I ll switch to OpenBox for now.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

thanks Vi0L0 VLC still continued given me problems so I removed it. Tear Free is excellent!!!!

now I have want to know, I was reading in the wiki that "minimal xorg.conf example" it's bigger than mine.

As you can see I don't have the requisites for running fglrx but I have direct rendering.

#glxinfo | grep direct

direct rendering: Yes
    GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, GL_ARB_draw_indirect,
    GL_EXT_copy_buffer, GL_EXT_copy_texture, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,

Do I have to add something more or it's good as it is?

Maybe it's good to include such a file in catalyst-package? Because I see offical nvidia have a similar file. It will make people get rid of reconfigure xorg after install/change driver.

Ok I just came back from kubuntu for testing powerxpress, but failed. (You know catalyst is an offical ubuntu driver, not linux tongue ...)
I gave up to enable powerxpress with 11.4.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

thanks csslayer I make the file  and renamed xorg.conf to test it.

Now I'm having an issue, I install catalyst-daemon from repo and since then my monitor turn off and my X session is lost.
I mean, I have no output signal from my video card sad I have to do a hard reset.

Someone that know about it, should I install catalyst and re-compilate manually the modules?

Thanks!!!

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@csslayer:
I will put your 20-fglrx.conf file into catalyst-utils with next update. Thanks smile

So even Kubuntu got problems with powerXpress... this is sad hmm


@k_ibou:
You probably solved it out already...
But i'm still interested with this bug smile
- are you sure you've got headers for installed kernel?
- there is a log file /var/log/catalyst-install.log which is telling what went wrong, so if you didn't solved it out yet - paste last log from this file here.

Try doing what ccslayer say

Actually I don't have xorg.conf, I just pust 20-fglrx.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@Vi0L0:

The bug, if I can call it that way, was still present. I remove catalyst-daemon and reinstall regular catalyst from [catalyst] repo. So far everything is good.

[edit] It still happen. The issue happen when I'm not using my pc, as I said before the monitor goes off (there's no output signal from my video card sapphire radeon hd 6850).

When that happen I must do a hard reboot.

If you mean that Failure then don't be concerned - aticonfig should still work fine and xorg.conf should also be created succesfully.
If you want to fix it look at the previous page, aspecially this csslayer post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 92#p925492

[edit] It still happen. The issue happen when I'm not using my pc, as I said before the monitor goes off (there's no output signal from my video card sapphire radeon hd 6850).

When that happen I must do a hard reboot.

It looks like fglrx isn't able to wake up from blank sleep...
Typical solution is to add those lines:

Option      "BlankTime" "0"
Option      "StandbyTime" "0"
Option      "SuspendTime" "0"
Option      "OffTime" "0"

into Section "ServerLayout" of xorg.conf file - you may see this Section after using 'aticonfig --initial'.
I don't know how it will work with 20-fglrx.conf file. But anyway you can still have 20-fglrx.conf and xorg.conf - and it will work without problems.

BTW: file xorg.conf will be created if only you will change something important as root in amdcccle - like refresh rate or sth - fglrx won't overwrite 20-fglrx.conf (if it exist) with new settings.

@k_ibou:
yeah, it looks good.
If you didn't forget to reboot or restart your X/DM then maybe try to turn of any screen saver or monitor's power management of your DE.

I installed catalyst driver, when i want to create xorg.conf it gives me this error... how can i fix this?

[root@WhiteCrow1 ~]# aticonfig --initial
Found fglrx primary device section
Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether driver is installed correctly
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-1

If you mean that Failure then don't be concerned - aticonfig should still work fine and xorg.conf should also be created succesfully.
If you want to fix it look at the previous page, aspecially this csslayer post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 92#p925492

The bug, if I can call it that way, was still present. I remove catalyst-daemon and reinstall regular catalyst from [catalyst] repo. So far everything is good.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@arastoo.s:
Make sure that:
- nomodeset is added to kernel boot options;
- fglrx module is loaded: lsmod | grep fglrx ;
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log is clean from errors (noted as EE), you can paste this file here if you are not sure.

I think i found it...

It looks like Xserver is taking 20-fglrx.conf file in 1st place, even if xorg.conf file is present... It's just ignoring it...

If your problem still persist then remove 20-fglrx.conf - so those "BlankTime" "0" things in xorg.conf could work


Edit: now i'm not so sure about putting 20-fglrx.conf into catalyst-utils - it could make a mess
