 |
|
Hi I got following problem since some weeks:
le1558 lu # lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series]
le1558 lu # lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx 5004559 144
le1558 lu # aticonfig
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
Everything else is working fine. How to tell aticonfig to detect my card again?
thx  |

Better install linux-formware package instead of selective ones? Or is the content identical? |

linux-firmware just contains all firmware parts, while the split packages allow a more selective installation, and thus less cruft.

Like I thought!
So Ill make a
| Code: |
emerge -av radeon-ucode ati-drivers xorg-server
aticonfig --initial
|
instead, and report back! |

The radeon firmware, which is included in radeon-ucode, and in the larger set of linux-firmware, is only needed if you're going to use the open source, in kernel, radeon driver. If you're using fglrx, (ati-drivers), you don't need to install either one.
Also, if you use fglrx, (ati-drivers), you need to make sure you don't have any in kernel radeon drivers selected.
Good Luck.. |

I have installed both, so i can switch with a simple script between the drivers.
aticonfig --initial wont work here, because it does not detect my card. 
Upgrading to x11-drivers/ati-drivers-13.1:1::x11 right now, but i really think that this does not solve my problem.
any other thoughts?

Loading both drivers at the same time is not working I think.
| Code: |
le@le1558 /lu $ lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx 5004559 217
le@le1558 /lu $ lsmod | grep radeon
le@le1558 /lu $

If you are on a laptop with hybrid graphics suggest editing title to reflect hybrid grahics
can you disable either card at the bios level ? with a key or key combo when running?
suggest google search for linux hybrid graphics and a forum search for radeon hybrid graphics switcheroo

no hybrid graphics here
Some magic (I really dont know what) happened!!!
| Code: |
le@le1558 /lu $ aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature
Adapter 0 - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series
Sensor 0: Temperature - 56.00 C

x11-drivers/radeon-ucode, sys-kernel/linux-firmware are not needed when it comes to fglrx.
what initial version of ati-drivers have you installed?

try doing a small regression test to see where it has started.

you have | Quote: | Th previously installed version is 13.1-r200.
so now i am on the current 13.2 beta. |
after an update 10 minutes ago using ~amd64 , I have | Quote: | emerge -s ati-drivers
Searching...
[ Results for search key : ati-drivers ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* x11-drivers/ati-drivers
Latest version available: 13.1
Latest version installed: 13.1
|
opening the question, "What is the source of your drivers?" The 13.1 version is working well on an hd5700 series.
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-drivers/ati-drivers shows the 13.1 version as still hardmasked and not keyworded so putting it into the testing branch must be a brand new action. Suggest you try masking and keywording as needed to use 13.1.

x11-overlay
I really dont think that this is the problem. It should be a local one. As you see in this thread earlier, that I hat this problem for weeks/months, until something magical solved it.... until the latest update
The only thing I can imagine is that my xorg.conf is a symlink. But this really shouldnt matter... |

You were and are running beta driver versions from amd, packed into beta X.org packages, repacked in beta gentoo ebuilds. You are a beta tester . You and I are using the oldest hardware the beta version is expected to drive. Amd is hell bent on solving problems with this driver and their latest hardware, the 7000 series. In this scenario, it is very possible that fixing a 7000 series problem could break the 5000 series driver portion and the beta be issued untested for regression on the 5000 series.
As you said, an update broke your system. Not likely a local problem. Is your xorg-server a beta version also?

Well, my opinion is, that every fglrx user is a beta tester...
So, I found out some more details about this problem. Using the drivers from x11 overlay results in "unsupported hardware". Using the portage-tree ones aticonfig is working as expected.
Well, the only thing I need aticonfig for is reading the temerature, which is not so important.
Maybe I should look little deeper to investigate what is the difference between the gentoo and the x11 ebuilds.
Thanks for helping so far.
