fglrx restricted driver doesn't work on hardy

[Cesare Tirabassi]

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-8-generic

Since 7.11 (8.433) fglrx fails to install properly the kernel modules.
A copy of the xorg.0.log is attached for the latest version 8.2.
First it fails to detect the server version:

(WW) fglrx(0): could not detect X server version (query_status=-3)

then it fails to initialise the CMMQS driver:

(EE) fglrx(0): Failed to initialize CMMQS driver

As a result, no dri.

Same issue with gutsy using 8.1, see attached Xorg.0.log

Could this be linked to dkms?
7.11 was the last version installable with m-a and didn't have any problem.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Can you verify whether or not the kernel module was actually loaded when X was starting? If it was, this is an issue upstream in the driver (not DKMS or the packaging). Also, if you installed it directly via l-r-m, DKMS isn't used.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Yes, the module is installed. For hardy it is indeed installed via l-r-m while it was a manual install for gutsy.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

As confirmed with the reporter, the module was loaded.

Can you additionally please add to this report a copy of dmesg and whether this card is AGP or PCIe?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Looks like as if you guys are pinning it down already. The card is an AGP card and a copy of syslog is attached. There is an interesting message at [ 80.102412] [fglrx:firegl_init_pcie] *ERROR* Invalid GART type 0.

Same problem when the fglrx 8.02 is Activate and my HIS X1950Pro AGP, the System not boot!

The xorg.conf fglrx not Installed:
Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
 Driver "kbd"
 Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
 Option "XkbLayout" "ch"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "mouse"
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

And the displayconfig-gtk not functionel!

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Still no luck with 8.03, even though the "Failed to initialize CMMQS driver" issue has been solved.

Xorg.0.log:

(EE) fglrx(0): [pcie] Failed to gather memory of size 262144Kb for PCIe. Error (-1014)

dmesg:

[fglrx:firegl_init_pcie] *ERROR* Only power-of-two ring buffer size is supported for PCIe

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

This is actually closed by the just released restricted-modules package which includes 8.03 for hardy.
