    It's a shame that this problem is well-known and widely reported (for months now) and AMD does nothing to fix it, instead they make press releases about their great new cards and "Evolutionary" drivers.

    My AGP X800 has never worked with Catalyst, it always crashes the kernel, even when it compiles.

    security.h and linux capability mods were never guaranteed stable.

    Someone at amd needs to read :

    You are whining about the old driver ! ( the new drivers are worst ) , it needs patching for the 2.6.25 kernel and it also needs patching to build rpm,s



    Taken from a old guide I wrote a couple of months ago

    Patch and install the ATi driver


    Log on as root. We are now ready to install the fglrx driver.

    Download the ati installer and a make sure you have installed the build requirements .





    Code:
    su 
    yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"



    The fglrx driver is shipped in an executable archive called ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86-64.run. Normally the archive will extract the files and install the driver all in one go. We need to break up this procedure in order to modify the source code. So first we extraxt the files. For illustration purposes I use the work directory /usr/src/ati.



    Code:
    su 
    wget https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run 
    chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run 
    sh ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run --extract /usr/src/ati

    Next we change into the work directory and apply the patch.



    Code:
    cd /usr/src/ati 
    wget http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/ati-fglrx-8-4-kernel-2.6.25.patch 
    patch -p0 < ati-fglrx-8-4-kernel-2.6.25.patch


    Finally we continue the installation process as if nothing had happened. ( yeh right the friggin installer needed patching to build rpm's )


    Code:
    rm -f /usr/src/ati/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh 
    wget http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/ati-packager.sh -O /usr/src/ati/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh 
    chmod +x /usr/src/ati/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh 
    ./ati-installer.sh 8.476 --buildpkg Fedora/F9



    And install the rpm's


    Code:
    cd /usr/src/ 
    rpm -ivh ATI-fglrx*rpm kernel-module-ATI-fglrx*rpm

    Yes, that's my bad for for running against the wrong driver, and I apologize for the mistake.

    I also appreciate all the time you put into helping people here.

    It's true that I am whining about ATI's Catalyst drivers. My openGL worked before the switch, and has never worked since. The months of regressions get frustrating.

    Although I did not pay for Fedora, I did pay for the card, and I really do appreciate the fine work people have done on the free side to keep my card working in 2D.

    I'm not in a position to downgrade my X server in F9, which from what I can see is still a requirement for using your F9/fglrx guide.

    Thanks,
    John

    PS: unless I am way out, the latest catalyst (8.6) doesn't build F9 RPMs either. This is a X86_64 box.

    I'm baffled as to why the ATI installer "blob" is looking at the folders: /usr/X11R6/lib/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/ for stuff. There's nothing there - in fact, those folders don't exist on a default Fedora install, as far as I know.

    All other things being equal (i.e., applied the patch for 2.6.25-series kernels, etc.), you could "fool" the "blob" by creating those folders, and then creating symbolic links from them to the files it's really looking for: /usr/lib64/libGL.so*[libGLU.so*][libGLw.so*] and /usr/lib64/dri/*.

    I assume that the ATI FGLRX driver is not available from Livna ? Or, it doesn't work ?

    I think I would have to downgrade my X to get it to build...from what I can see on Leigh's guide to fglrx that is still necessary.

    From what I see on Phoronix 8.501 is still broken.

    Some linux users (not necessarily Fedora) are reporting OpenGL running for a few seconds or minutes before crashing. Kind of a huge advance, all things considered.

    The spec file & ati-packager.sh is a total mess in the ATI installer !

    That cannot possibly inspire confidence among ATI owners in a fix anytime soon.

    Tried the patch procedure that leigh123@linux posted - got most of the way

    leigh123,

    Thanks for posting the patch. I successfully applied it and then I hit some errors running the packager (highlighted in red) ANY IDEAS?

    Did you apply this fix as well ?


    Code:
    rm -f /usr/src/ati/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh 
    wget http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/ati-packager.sh -O /usr/src/ati/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh 
    chmod +x /usr/src/ati/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh 
    ./ati-installer.sh 8.476 --buildpkg Fedora/F9

    yes, that's the command that's resulting in errors:
    ./ati-installer.sh 8.476 --buildpkg Fedora/F9

    Here's the basic build failure for Catalyst 8.7 :

    Code:
    # ./ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg 'Fedora/F9'
    [snip]
    Generating package: Fedora/F9
    mv: cannot stat `/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.512-1-3117-root/BUILD/ATI-fglrx-8.512/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/*': No such file or directory
    mv: cannot stat `/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.512-1-3117-root/BUILD/ATI-fglrx-8.512/usr/X11R6/lib/*.so.*': No such file or directory
    Package build failed!
    Package build utility output:

    Will try the patches later.

    Hm. Once again, the crazy thing appears to be looking in the wrong folders for stuff. Perhaps you should consider creating sym-links to appease it (this is a summary, not the commands to create the links):
    /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/* -> /usr/lib64/dri/*
    /usr/X11R6/lib/*.so.* -> /usr/lib64/*.so.*

    Unless those are already taken care of in the patches?

    Good Luck,
    V

    I'm still fooling around with it, just for fun. Posts on Phoronix claim it's useless to even try on F9 unless you are willing to downgrade the X server.

    I did have success at work with a stock F9 install using NVIDIA's beta 177.13 driver. Twinhead works well (used it for several hours on a Quadro FX).

    This machine (at home) is Radeon X800, X86_64, so it is unlikely any 3d acceleration will work here any time soon.

    *****

    EDIT : I was able to patch and make RPM files, and install them, however the X will not start and gives an EE in /var/log/X.0.log :

    (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
    (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (loader failed, 7)
    (EE) No drivers available.

    plus :

    dlopen: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: miZeroLineScreenIndex

    Although the RPMs don't work (per the reasons posted above) I have created a README and a patch to duplicate my effort.

    It's available via my sig link.
