[Jaunty] Loading GLX module fails due to undefined symbol miInitVisualsProc

[Bowmore]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core

Today's updates of Jaunty caused Compiz stop working. Furthermore, the desktop turned up empty and scrolling in any window didn't work. Activating the prop driver caused entering low grafic mode at reboot. To be able to get back in 2D mode I had to remove xorg.conf.

Checking the xorg log indicates that loading the GLX module fails due to an undefined symbol miInitVisualsProc.

Part from the Xorg log:

Seems to be directly related to fglrx from the repos for me. Second computer running same configuration except NVidia is not experiencing the issue.

Hi rolf4601,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` too.

[Bowmore (bowmore)]

Thanks, I'm still stuck in no rendering mode due to the miInitVisualsProc protocol mismatch.

Here is the info you're requesting, i.e
lspci -vvnn
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

I've not done any manual changes in xorg.conf except of removing it to get up running and then recreated it using "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" but attaching that as well.

I am also getting this problem on Jaunty. Using the default xorg configuration, there is no problem and X works perfectly. This problem came in when I tried to use aticonfig to reconfigure X to accept a second monitor as dual-head. I'm not using Compiz. Attached is the xorg log file from the failure.

fglrx doesn't support the new xserver driver ABI yet.

> fglrx doesn't support the new xserver driver ABI yet.

Ok, but is that all there is?
I turned back to the radeon driver (radeon_drv.so) where I get the miInitVisualsProc fault and the dri (libdri.so) ABI version mismatch. So there seems to be more issues around ati and xserver-xorg.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

you need to purge fglrx to get radeon working fully.

i have the exact same problem on ubuntu jaunty (9.04), fresh install, card is X800 pro. Not sure if im doing it wrong, or ATI still havent fixed it yet.
