lutel

Hi,

Cheers
Tomek

This patch did the trick (from the bugreport):
https://548118.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=403430

Used x11 overlay and edited ebuild on ati-drivers-15.1

Looking forward for the patch in the portage tree

Surely you're joking! ATI drivers are already in the tree, patch is open source, why it can't be uploaded to portage?

the kernel-4.* source changed EXPORT_SYMBOL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for some functions that need to be used by firegl_public.c
googling "EXPORT_SYMBOL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL" will give access to a lot of discussion

Personally, I had trouble finding a patch -- my 'workaround' was simply living with an earlier kernel. :oops:

I'm using fglrx 15.7 with gentoo sources 3.19.8.

Found working patch for ati-drivers-15.7 in the second Link provided by DONAHUE:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=406958

works with gentoo-sources-4.1.2

Thanks

Hello Elleni and others

Would you explain, how you did apply this patch? I downloaded it from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548118 (The 15.7-one), too. But I absolutely don't understand, how I should apply it. The Directory is an working directory. Somewhere I read, that the patch is not to be applied in the working directory. (I also think so). But where?

Would be nice to know, how I can get installed the 15.7-fglrx on my gentoo (with kernel 4.1.3) too

Thanks a lot

Download 15.7-r1.patch to
/etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/15.7-r1.patch
Kernel-4.1.3 requires two patches to be run in a terminal:

sed -i 's/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cpu_tlbstate)/EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpu_tlbstate)/g' /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/mm/init.c

and

sed -i 's/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_ignore_hotplug)/EXPORT_SYMBOL(pci_ignore_hotplug)/g' /usr/src/linux/drivers/pci/pci.c

After these edits; recompile/reinstall the kernel and then emerge ati-drivers.

general info:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches

Edit to get rid of my typo in second command

Never mind, Donahue

This can happen

I wondered, yes, of course

Because in the init.c-File under

Hello again

After the Patching-"lessons"

I had changed the kernel between from 4.1.3 to 4.1.6. This change was without any problems: Only patched the kernel (GPL->Non-"GPL"-containing-strings).

But now, the kernel 4.2.0 and above causes problems again

((((((

Sorry for Reposting...

I have solved the issue:

There I got the error:

Fernando Rodriguez has a solution at https://github.com/fernando-rodriguez/portage-overlay/tree/master/x11-drivers/ati-drivers . It has been tested on amd64 and compiles, installs, and runs on kernels 3.18.16, 4.1.6, and 4.2. It appears ready for addition to the testing branch. His work has no EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL issues. It supports glxinfo and glxgears on kernel-4.2 . Manual download from the amd driver page is required. Fetch instructions are in the ebuild. Thanks, Fernando.
I have obsoleted my less effective offerings.

I need a guide on how to use Fernando's ebuilds (whichever one works with kernel 4.1.6) or on how apply the patches in the bug reports.

I've tried making /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers and put all the files from the git hub in there, creating digests, and adding PORDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to make.conf

if i cd to /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers and run emerge "one of them.".ebuild it still fails to compile ( and warns me that directly targeting .ebuilds is broken). Doing emerge --ask x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.7-r1 is not a vaild package atom. ( i thought pordir overlay was supposed to make that work )

The 15.7-r1 needed me to download some files manually, it took me forever to figure out where to put them (/usr/portage/distfiles), and the one I downloaded from ati was newer than the one in the ebuild file, i just renamed it to what it said in the ebuild. Still failed when i ran it from *.ebuild. Don't know how to run it any other way.

I'm making zero progress by googling and I've gotten really frustrated with myself. My head hurts.

Browse to http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Linux%20x86_64&rev=15.7 to download the version you need so you can patch it. If necessary (I need to), move or copy amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.zip to /usr/portage/distfiles and
chown portage:portage /usr/portage/distfiles/amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.zip .
Browse to https://github.com/fernando-rodriguez/portage-overlay and actuate "Download ZIP" button .
unzip portage-overlay-master.zip .
I followed https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Overlays/User_Guide#Installing_layman to install layman and then to add the x11 overlay.
Then assuming that Fernando's files were downloaded to Downloads and unzipped there: cp -ar Downloads/portage-overlay-master/x11-drivers/ati-drivers /var/lib/layman/x11/x11-drivers/
Then ebuild /var/lib/layman/x11/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-15.7-r1.ebuild manifest

/var/lib/layman/make.conf is location for PORTDIR_OVERLAY="
/var/lib/layman/x11
$PORTDIR_OVERLAY
"

BTW, the 15.7 version is replaced by 15.9 version, Fernando's current patches are for 15.7 version, 15.7 is available in the archive. Know nothing about 15.9 working.

Also BTW, the kernel 4.3-rc1 discontinues support for direct access to mtrr, ati-drivers with patches compiles against 4.3-rc1 but warns mtrr_add and mtrr_delete are undefined/not found. GUI operation in this condition is horrible; many apps fail to open with no report, others with segfault.

Thanks for the quick reply! No luck sadly.

I made it to "ebuild /var/lib/layman/x11/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-15.7-r1.ebuild manifest " then it complains about not being able to download 14.9 drivers. Why would it even try to download those? I thought I was getting 15.7.
