Hi. I have problem with radeon 9550. To install fglrx i get debian-kernel
After installation everything is OK.
Code:
fglrxinfo
shows ATI drivers ON
Code:
mazur@sidux:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7659 Releas
But when i reboot the computer and wrote "
Code:
fglrxinfo
"again i get Mesa driver working 
Code:
mazur@sidux:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.4)
I get fglrx by smxi, sgfxi and ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run

| fglrx doesn't work on slh sidux kernels. You have to be running debian sid kernels, unless you recompile the kernel. |

I have Debian-kernel installed
Code:
m-a build -f fglrx-kernel-src
m-a install fglrx-kernel-src
#init 3
rmmod radeon
rmmod drm
I made it and still not working  |

hmm, then the packages are installed incorrectly or xorg.conf is set for radeon - that will cause the same problem if the fglrx module is present.
so try this:
Code:
apt-get remove --purge a*fglrx
then:
Code:
./ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/sid
dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
rerun the m-a commands i posted earlier after reinstalling the fglrx packages, then double check xorg.conf to make sure that the device section is set to Driver "fglrx" |

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, why not just run: sgfxi -s
to install fglrx the debian way, same steps as above, all these specific little steps is the reason sgfxi exists, it's too many to remember or do routinely unless you have a brain that works that way, which most people do not have.
Or use sgfxi with no args to just create and install the debs for fglrx. |

oh hehe, didn't know exactly what your script does.
In the past it's been unreliable, so I just learned how to manually install the drivers from ati's site or apt. |

| The only one of hte above things it doesn't do is the direct ati install, no deb creation. debian driver install method (sgfxi -s) is the same as debian's, plus of course it does all the pre install cleanup etc, so if debian's is working, sgfxi's is working. The deb installer method is what it is, when it works, it works, when it doesn't, it doesn't, not much I can do about that, and I'm not going to add the manual install method because I have no idea what would need to be cleaned up and searched for to remove it, and fglrx is too much of a pain to support 3 different methods anyway, each one is bound to break at any time. |

Thanks you for answer.
I done all what you shall me to do.
ok i did
Code:
apt-get remove --purge a*fglrx
-success
and
Code:
./ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/sid
dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
-success
after that:
Code:
m-a build -f fglrx-kernel-src
m-a install fglrx-kernel-src
-succes
Code:
#init 3
rmmod radeon
rmmod drm
after that i get:
Code:
ERROR: Module radeon does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module drm does not exist in /proc/modules
i wrote fglrxinfo and i get
Code:
root@sidux:~# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7769 Release
yippee yippee. everythinks work pretty nice so i reboot my machine and what i see: MESA 
I have
Code:
root@sidux:~# uname -r
2.6.25-2-686
and i used smxi too (smxi -kwitd)debian-fglrx,current-fglrx,lastes-fglrx,radeohd,radeon,ati - still nothing
sgfxi -s too
whats wrong ?
bit of my xorg:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device 0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "TexturedXrender"
BoardName "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
EDIT:
but when i startx i get error. anyway X starts
Code:
(WW) fglrx: No Matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
lspci shows
Code:
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] (Secondary)
BusID is correct |

The debian way was re-written based on yours and kelmo's comments. This has been fixed since the -K option was introduced. |

It's a warning. Meaning you can ignore it, unless you want a dual-head set. |
