ATI/AMD Catalyst 9.1

[centos]

Didn't work for me, I installed it and after restart last thing I saw was a few lines of text with Checking battery state as the last one, then screen went black and that was it.
At least I have two graphic cards in my laptop, so hopefully I will able to unistall it because the other one works. But still gl output at videos is broken. Just great.

edit: thanks, aticonfig --initial -f helped.
this card (mobility radeon hd2600) has same gl problem as x1250.. wonder if it is driver problem or anything else's
and can't set any compiz effects, but this doesn't bother me, don't see point of using it

[centos]

Turned out that Totem (and other gstreamer based apps like Gnome Subtitles) flickers. I tried to reinstall gstreamer plugins and change output, no change. Just me? :/

One major problem is that the videos don't align within the windows of players correctly. There is always a black bar at the top. Viewing the video full screen will centre it like it should, which is good.

Still some other minor, but irritating, glitches.

Ok I figured it out. When I installed 9.1 I changed the video output drivers back to the default xv so that I could verify that they were no longer choppy. They are no longer choppy, but the video is not aligning properly in the windows and hides the player controls sometimes. Now if I go back to the x11 driver I had set before, there is no longer any problem.

lol, duplicated thread. but this one has the action, better title too

Mplayer seems to be best. At random times watching in Totem my x crashes and restarts. and some decorating issues...

but all in all working.


however still no luck with Jaunty and new xserver support. but progress is being made

using a (HD 3300/HD 4870)

[centos]

So yesterday everything but gstreamer went fine, today I turned it on and after boot screen it didn't se anything, just heard cpu fan because of high cpu usage. I had to reboot and change graphic card, with that other it showed command line at least, so I copied xorg.conf backup to make it work.
I'm just curious if I'm stupid, my laptop is or ATI is. Definitely one of the three, maybe all.

Still no luck, I followed manual install http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide last night 3 times, no errors but after restart low graphic mode and fglrxinfo saying mesa drivers, so I switched to older version 8.543, anyone similar expirience?
I have ati radeon mobility x1600 on ubuntu 8.10 with compiz fusion

Hi,

I've had this problem - you have to uninstall the mesa drivers...

Removing Mesa drivers

If fglrxinfo reports that Indirect rendering by Mesa is in place, even though you have installed ATI driver, check:

    * Remove the package xserver-xgl. 

    sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl

    Explanation: If you installed this previously in order to make compiz work, it will not allow direct rendering on your display. You can check out if this is what it causing the problem by running 

    DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | grep render

    If it returns an ATI renderer, it means that xgl is being displayed indirectly on the display 1. (Taken from [1]) 

    Warning: This might make your compiz stop working as it is configured to use XGL. A solution might be to run the Envy script in order to configure compiz. Or, if Compiz stopped working due to "Composite" problem, check that the following is set in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf 

Section "Extensions"
	Option		"Composite"	"Enable"
EndSection

then reboot, you should now have ati fglrx rendering

Thanks guys, now new ATI driver is in place!!!strange thing... after reboot it starts out of range resolution (1200x1600) and should be 1400x900 (set in Catalyst CC). relevant sections of xorg:
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

does it matter that in System/Administration/Hardware Drivers ATI/AMD fglrx graphic driver is NOT active? I'm afraid to change anything, don't want to loose the driver!!!
