Im having the same problem. Somthing i noticed while doing the dist-update is that the package "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic" is installed for you. And uninstalling it just downgrades it to a previous version. I also noticed that even after reboot the file "fglrx.ko" remains in the volatile folder.
Edit:
Ignoring the install and uninstall of linux-restricted-module i still come up with a No Screens Found error
out of the garbled text on the boarders of the screen i get the error
(--) Assigning device section with no bus ID to primary device
(EE) No devices detected

Hi,
I followed your howto but faced some problems. Perhaps you can give me a hand on this?
1st, when doing:
I fail, because such directory doesn't exist (the destination one). Should I copy it someplace else?Code:$ sudo cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/fglrx.ko
Note: the restricted modules were already installed before I started the howto. This was on a fresh and updated version of Edgy.
The current situation is, fglrx is being used and X appears to be working OK. However, if I disable Compositing on xorg.conf, I can't log in anymore. The computer stops right after I put my login/password. (I can move the mouse and I can see the background color loaded, but nothing else happens, not even the usplash)
Plus, I get this output from fglrxinfo:I'm using a laptop with ATi Mobility Radeon 9700, by the way.Code:Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)
I created that folder, actually, but I don't know if that's the right thing to do...
I am having this bit of a problem. I originally followed the instructions from the link you gave then found this howto when that didnt work.
everything seemed to be going ok until when I started the xgl session it reverted back to gnome as it has done before and when i typei get this outputCode:beryl
~$ beryl

Hey everyone, I updated the guide to include the SVN packages, which are now working on our cards. I also included a new beryl settings profile that is tweaked towards performance (since the 9000 is pretty crappy) and also doesn't have any features that crash our cards (like wobbly windows and skydome).
Have fun.
Another note: those of you having trouble getting fglrx to work, maybe look around at other threads, since this guide only has fglrx at the beginning to get most people started, and is mostly about getting xgl and beryl to work.
Knowledge is half the battle.
The other half is violence!
try reinstalling the libGL file by running this:
sudo aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri
some guides make you mess with that file, maybe it messed you up.
Knowledge is half the battle.
The other half is violence!
So I have Xgl working, however my woobly windows cause my desktop to crash. Anyone else expeirience this issue?
