another fglrx problem

[geneuser]

I keep getting this error when startup fedora 10:

Checking for module fglrx.ko: [FAILED]
fglrx.ko for kernel 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 was not found. [WARNING]
fglrx DRI will not be enabled until one is found. [WARNING]

I did follow all the steps here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...3&page=1&pp=10

> uname -r
2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686

I can find fglrx.ko being built @ /lib/modules/fglrx:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root 4096 2009-03-03 14:04 build_mod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2410064 2009-03-03 14:04 fglrx.2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686.ko

And I also can find fglrx.ko here:
/lib/modules/2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko

I do have kmod-fglrx for 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 installed. However, it still gives me the above boot up errors. Could any1 help? Thanks.

Can you post the output of:

rpm -qa | grep fglrx

[geneuser]

Hi,

I just did the command and here is the output:

xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-8.573-1.9.1.fc10.i386
kmod-fglrx-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686-8.573-1.9.1.fc10.i686
akmod-fglrx-8.573-1.9.1.fc10.i686
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.573-1.9.1.fc10.i386

Try running Software Update from the Administration menu and see if that helps - that's an outdated driver version.

[geneuser]

Thanks for quick turn around. I just did a "yum update" as super user and it says:
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

Is there anyway I can force update this driver? Thanks.

[Firewing1]

Hm, maybe you need to clean your cache:

yum clean metadata expire-cache

[geneuser]

Thanks! Cleaning cache thing certainly help me making some progress. The funny part is that I had to run the command twice to get the driver update. So now it's

xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-9.2-2.fc10.i386
akmod-fglrx-9.2-2.fc10.i686
kmod-fglrx-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686-9.2-2.fc10.1.i686
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-9.2-2.fc10.i386

After this, I rebooted and no errors in boot log. So I did mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`. Then I bounced box again. After no error shows up in the log, the both monitor goes to blank screen.

Here is my xorg.conf

Is there anything to be fixed here? Thanks a bunch!

[Firewing1]

Hm, interesting... I'll try to do some testing when I get home later tonight. There were some previous problems with x86_64, but that shouldn't be happening with 9.2-2 nor on x86...

[geneuser]

Hi, I am not trying to be pushing, but I really run out of ideas on how to correct this. Now the screensaver will hang my machine. Would you have time to test? Thanks a lot!

[Firewing1]

I tried again tonight, everything is fine for me with the 9.2-2 RPMs. What's your GPU model?

[geneuser]

I think it's an ATI Radeon X600. I got the card from a Dell E510
