Bug Description
The "fgrlx" package now installs successfully for me. However, I believe it's not recognizing my chip, the ATI FirePro M7740. This is the chip that Dell uses in the Precision M6500 laptop from about 3 years ago. I have a few reasons for thinking fglrx isn't doing its job for this chip:
(1) When I run "fglrxinfo", I get the following output:
cjc@awesome:~$ fglrxinfo
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServ
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
(2) When I run "amdcccle", I get a dialog box with this message:
There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.
No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the AMD driver appropriate for you AMD hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
(3) When I run "aticonfig", I get this message:
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
I tested https:/
As per http://
As per AMD one would want to download the drivers via http://
