failed to load module fglrx on ATI Radeon RS880

[Murz]

After upgrade from Karmic to Lucid I can't use fglrx driver.
Graphics card: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4200]

I have successfully install fglrx and other related packages.
If I boot xorg without xorg.conf, it loads the ati driver without compositing support.
If I try to create xorg.conf with driver=fglrx, I see the error on startx:
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

but I see the fglrx module loaded:
$ lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx 2353422 0

I try to purge and reinstall all fglrx-related packages, but this isn't help.

If I use "Hardware Drivers" utility, I see the "ATI Fire GL" as activated, deactivating and activating again didn't help.

What I can try more for solve this bug?
I can give you any additional info about my configuration, if needed.

Hello,

I run a fresh install of kubuntu Lucid 10.04 on x86 64 and i have the same bug with Nvidia Driver.

I make the update and right after booting, i wasn't able to restart anymore.

Failed to load module Nvidia.

After that the only was to reformat, So i am waiting before install any graphic drivers , since it look a serious bugs.

Any idea for a workaround welcome in case i have same problem again.

Linux xxxxx 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux .

The bug wasn't appear with this Kernel, because i wait to update again .

Best regards

This bug is affecting me too, on Natty, with the same hardware (on a HP P3135 AX250). The only thing I thought could be the problem might be the way the BIOS is sharing video memory. It is reported to work with UMA or UMA + Sideport, but I think it's using Sideport only and I can't change these options in the BIOS, I can't even see them as options. Moreover, there is no BIOS update, and there won't be any.
