Xorg. Unknown header type 7f AMD/Intel

[jorge_mantilla]

When I try to install the fglrx on ubuntu 14.04, the last message said that the card is not recognize.
The lspci -vv:
 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
 !!! Unknown header type 7f
 Kernel driver in use: radeon

[Łukasz Grabski (activey)]

Happens here as well.

[jorge_mantilla (jennyfreizam)]

no one?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Arthur Hrast Essenfelder (arthur-essenfelder)]

Same problem here. Also I can't turn on the Discrete video card as well.
Here are some details.

Same Problem!!!
aticonfig says no supported device detected.

lspci -v gives:

Also seeing this in 15.04 with fglrx-updates:

$ lspci -vv -s 01:00
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
        !!! Unknown header type 7f

[naught101 (naught101)]

Hrm... replacing fglrx-updates with fglrx worked for me - I suspect that's the same as reinstalling, since they're both at the same version at the moment. Perhaps this was caused by a kernel update that didn't update the driver module?

openSuSe 13.2 & 42.1 have this problem also.

[Paulo Pavačić (pavacic-p)]

Happens in radeon drivers too.
