ATI-Drivers stopped working with 4.0.5 kernel

[cca]

I run into this bug yesterday as I was attempting to install ati-drivers for my new AMD R9 285. For now these patches work, the real solution will come with the new "amdgpu" driver that will appear in the kernel 4.2 and will support these cards.

Hi guys!

I have a hybrid ATI/Intel on a new Dell Inspirion

I am struggling wih he fglrx too. I am using the 4.0.5 too. I am able to compile the driver after the patch, but now, I just get a black screen with the mouse pointer.

When I Switch the xorg config to the intel, it is ok.

I had the same trouble and the same errors as yours, but after the patch, i just get the blank screen and no errors on the log.

does eselect opengl list show ati selected?

[ezfranca]

does eselect opengl list show ati selected?

Yes

[DONAHUE]

no hybrid graphics machines here
Does X -retro produce a stippled black/white screen with a movable mouse cursor?
If so the desktop/window manager/display manager are suspect.

Well, I spent most of my day trying to make it work and I finally did it!

I've testes different combinations of kernels and drivers. First, I rebuild the packages just with VIDEO_CARDS=intel and made it work.

Then, I tried to emerge the ati-drivers, that only worked when I patched with this:

patch for fglrx 15.1 with kernel 4.0.4: http://blackcatlinux.narod.ru/trash/fgl ... ix.tar.bz2

Every other patch/kernel combinations I got erros, panics, segfaults, etc.

Now, I am using this kernel:

Code: Select all

4.0.5-gentoo

with this driver

Code: Select all

 x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.1::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="modules qt4 -debug -gdm-hack -pax_kernel -static-libs" ABI_X86="64 -32"

Code: Select all

I do not know where this patch came from, but it worked to me.

This is my hardware, if someone want to test on similar:

Hi,

I did the procedure I posted before and got lots of this errors on the logs:

I tried lots of combinations of kernel config and ati-drivers versions and it stopped after I did the following combination:

Thank you all.

Fernando Rodriguez has a solution at https://github.com/fernando-rodriguez/p ... ti-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.

At this moment:
There is an ati-drivers-15.9.ebuild and patch files in portage being worked on; the digest is wrong, epatch'es are missing in files.
Fernando Rodriguez has a working ati-drivers-15.9.ebuild and patch files in his local portage overlay at

Code: Select all

ebuild /var/lib/layman/x11/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-15.9.ebuild manifest

Ran:

Code: Select all

I then tested Fernando's work against kernels gentoo-sources-3.18.6, gentoo-sources-4.1.6, gentoo-sources-4.2.0-r1, git-sources-4.2-rc8, git-sources-4.3-rc1. All compiled, installed, ran xfce4, and ran glxinfo and glxgears. GUI performance was snappy in xfce4.

The portage tree has now incorporated Fernando Rodriguez' outstanding work as ati-drivers-15.9-r1 .
If you have implemented user patches for ati-drivers (as part of our 4 month struggle), suggest run

Code: Select all

rm -rf /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/ati-drivers*

No longer needed and may cause problems.
AMD still has fetch restrictions imposed on the AMD Catalyst™ 15.9 Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver requiring a manual download of the AMD Catalyst™ 15.9 Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver from

well after some long years without gentoo I'm back

The problem is I have a new laptop and cant get he ATI drivers to work.

I have:

Code: Select all

and

Code: Select all

and

Code: Select all

and did what DONAHUE said in the last reply.

Now I get the following:

Should be considered informational/warning not error.
What happened when you rebooted after emerging ati-drivers? Noting ati-drivers is not currently installed.

I don't have a dual graphics notebook. I do know that kernel-4.2.5 and ati-drivers-15.9-r1 are compatible (with single card and a8 and a10 integrated graphics).

after some google foo I found this:

Code: Select all

eselect opengl set xorg-x11

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gentoo ... ivers.html

the emerge was a success after that. Now i gonna try loading....

Brilliant find. You must be google's golden child.

thank you

I've managed to create xorg.conf file which uses the fglrx driver

Code: Select all

but using it will result in a black screen with a grey line in the upper left corner and a black mouse pointer. Moving the mouse works fine and in the xorg.log are no errors....


Using this xorg file with the intel driver, my xfce4 loads just fine. (I'm using startx and the .xinitrc file)

eselect opengl list should now yield ati; eselect opencl list should now yield amd
My single graphic card Xorg.conf produced by running aticonfig --initial here:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Option "DPMS" "true"

If problem persists suggest PM to deltamalloc for his xorg.conf.

eselect opengl list

Code: Select all

  [1]   ati *
  [2]   xorg-x11

eselect opencl list

Code: Select all

Available OpenCL implementations:
  [1]   amd *

hmmm

[DONAHUE]

I would try running:

Code: Select all

 aticonfig --initial 
startx
wgetpaste -t /var/log/Xorg.0.log

post the url, maybe something will show

More fun with xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-xorg.conf

edit to:

Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:10:0:0"
EndSection

the minimal xorg.conf, the xorg configuration script does the rest. this minimal xorg.conf can also be located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If used with a different hardware arrangement the BusID line might need to change.

[Banana]

thx.

here is the Xorg log from aticonfig --initial
https://bpaste.net/show/37b3245d3862

I have to manually switch back to the terminal and kill the process with strg/ctrl+c

and here is the log from within the xorg.conf.d with only the devide section in it.
https://bpaste.net/show/89ab4b56db71

Both xorg logs refer to bumblebee.

Current Operating System: Linux bumblebee 4.2.5-gentoo #2 SMP Sat Oct 31 11:57:16 CET 2015 x86_64

AFAIK bumblebee was (is?) nvidia specific. Other than that your logs look better than mine. Does emerge -s bumblebee show bumblebee installed?
