look at this

It seems that you need the new version of fglrx, because the old ones are not compatible with the new xorg server in jaunty.
But a lot of graphic card are not compatible any more with the new version of fglrx.

You have no choice but using open source drivers if they work for you, or staying in 8.10 (like me)

Buy a new graphics card? I'm going with the "stay with Intrepid for a bit and see if someone develops a workaround" strategy, myself.

I have just finished this upgrade which tool 4 hours.
Now on boot up no display.
I HAVE A ATI RADEON 1600 PRO CARD and had some initial display problems with 8.10 updates, was able to resolve by safe mode options.
With 9.04 it deletes options and gives no alternative. Cant update my graphics card any more as it is a pci card.
My system is now stuffed until some one comes up with a solution that can be done on boot up by usb or cd.
Or worst way complete new install. I have used linux for a year without much trouble. I have a backup of most, but have or will loose data without the time to do it all again. What a shame I can see some people returning to Windows. The programmers need a severe kicking for this, it takes a long time to gain ground against windows only to loose it with this type of upgrade.

[...] The programmers need a severe kicking for this, it takes a long time to gain ground against windows only to loose it with this type of upgrade.

Repeating what are the issues:

- Jaunty comes with X.Org server 1.6 and fglrx 9.4

- only fglrx 9.4 and upper versions will be compatible with xorg-server 1.6, so you cannot use previous versions of fglrx on Jaunty.

- beginning with version 9.4, the fglrx driver have no more support for old GPU models (more info here http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst_94&num=1 )

- the 9.4 driver isn't so stable even with the right GPUs

This said, in effect I don't understand why programmers didn't add some "GPU check" on the restricted drivers manager, to remove the possibility to install the driver with the old GPUs (or to advice the users in case of distro upgrade). Maybe with an update this can be fixed...

heh, i have both an ati machine (that i use daily with two monitors) and a nvidia one, no problems whats so ever on the nvidia one.. pressed the upgrade distro button. blop blopadop all done and working as planned (even better than before) but ive been sitting with my ati machine all day trying to work out the kinks with the new drivers and such... having two monitors arent really helping here either...

so im gonna stick to 8.10 on my ati machine for now... soon im gonna get myself a nvidia card for that one too but i guess ill live for now...

now for the actual testing part.
i tried the one you install through "Hardware Drivers", i tried without it and just installing 9.4 from atis homepage, and tried withoutanything at all.. just to see.... so far im not sure which one is best.. but im leaning towards the one you get from ubuntu itself.. with alittle tweaking in the "display" tool...

I just completed upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. I used the gui Update Manager. The Upgrade process notified me that the ATI fglrx driver was not supported and gave me the option to stop the upgrade or continue with default opensource driver. I don't use compiz and I have not see the new notification alerts yet. Flash playback is acceptable and the gui screens render fine.
I do see on bootup some freezing pixelation screen before the hour glass and it is slow to draw the initial desktop. After, it settles down initial testing seems fine.
I am using an old ati radeon xpress card that only has 128MB of ram.
Just thought I would share my initial results.

Same story as most here but now it's looking great and features that didn't work before now work. After doing the upgrade I was left a scrambled screen when it was to switch to hire mode. The general step I took to fix it were:
1. Booted from a Ubuntu Gutsy USB key. Other versions and CD should be fine too.
2. Opened a terminal and used "sudo su" to become root.
3. Mounted my hard drive. In my case "mkdir /mnt/sda5" then "mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5". Use "fdisk -l" to find the right place.
4. Downloaded the latest diver using wget after finding the right URL from the ATI website. Look at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx for my HD 3200 card I needed "wget https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-4-x86.x86_64.run"
5. After it download rebooted and selected recovery option at boot menu.
6. Selected the "NETROOT" option.
7. Ran the downloaded "sh ./downloadedfile".
8. Went with default options.
9. Rebooted and all was good in the world!

NB: Your mileage may vary.

*sigh* looks like the new driver dropped support for my FireGL V5200 card to (lowest FireGL is V5600). But being on a laptop, I can't upgrade the vid. card. At least, not easily (or cheaply).

But then, ATI has been terrible with linux support for a number of years now. I guess for now I am stuck on the OS drivers.

I joined ubuntu with 7.10 and 8.04 was a change that I didnt like much, graphics wise and I had an nvidia video card then. Since then, I've decided that I'm not going to even try .04 versions, usually .10 works as a charm.

So I plan to wait, as now I have an HD 3300 (asus built in) and I dont want to get a black display surprise :)

Of course, if they upgraded that thing... 9.10 will reveal some problems as well, unless they polish your suggestions and put them to work.

Ick ! could this be true!?! LoL, i too have an ATI card. And im downloading jaunty right now. I'll try it on a seperate partition for testing. If i have any luck or figure anything out i'll let ya know ;)

Here's the warning I'll make. I upgraded last night from 8.10 to 9.04. I had 3D working well enough to run World of Warcraft on wine without much problem, albeit with low frame rates with the 9.3 Catalyst drivers. Not impossible to play, but not a real joy, either.

Now, after the upgrade last night, I'm averaging 1-3 fps using the ati radeon driver installed with 9.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with the Radeon Xpress 200M chip in it.

Don't waste your time until they determine where the problem is and get this crap fixed. I'll be reverting to 8.10 this weekend.

I just tried the live cd Jaunty 9.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1501 and was pleased to see both the Broadcom wireless (using the wl driver) and the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M video (using the radeon driver) worked out-of-the-box.

But as you say, the old radeon driver is way slower than Catalyst 9.4, so I am not installing yet.

Upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. After reboot the grapic worked. But not really good. Wasnt able to enable Compiz etc. Upgraded my restricted ATI driver to the latest version. Things got better but the ATI driver is really unstable and buggy. Maximizing windows takes forever. Movie playback is bad. I'm on a Radeon HD3650. Just thought I should share.

Yep. Graphics performance was all but pathetic in 9.04 with my Mobility Radeon 9000.

'Course, being on a laptop means that if I want a new video adapter, I have to buy a new laptop. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r60/mr740ti/squint.gif

Oh well, I was planning on it anyway...

April 24th, 2009, 07:23 PM

I tried the live cd and even that is not working. I have a HD2600 pro.
The splashscreen appears and then there's the black screen with some lines of colors at the top of the screen. I tried in safe mode but then I can't get the resolution right. My monitor is a wide screen with resolution 1680x1050. In safe mode I have only 1024x768.

I made the switch to ubuntu with Dapper Drake. Every new release was better than the one before. This in not the case anymore.

Also my laptom with an intel graphics card cannot run Compiz anymore.
Ubuntu is going backwards.

I've got a Thinkpad T43 with an ATI x300. I upgraded yesterday and saw the scrambled screen. I downgraded to the radeon driver by booting in recovery mode and

sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx

Jaunty is really pretty, and now I can at least see it, but my processor is constantly loaded and I have some weird scrambled graphics problems when scrolling 2D windows sometimes.

I suppose I'm behind the times, but it seems odd for AMD/ATI to consider a card "legacy" that is five years old and still obviously in wide use...

Is there a way to only downgrade the Xorg server?

ukoda

April 24th, 2009, 10:54 PM

sorry guys,stupid question.... will step 1 work if i have installed this through wubi?

also for step #1, I can just use my ubuntu 8.10 cd to boot up right?

last question, for step #3. how would i determine what to mount? ex: which sda number? like what he used above, sda5.

i just want to make sure, so i dont end up upgrading and then get stuck at a black screen again ... then restore back to 8.10 :(

thanks

The is three basic things you must do. Find the right file. Get it somewhere you can access on the affected system. Boot to the command line as root and run it.

I have no experience with wubi so can not help directly. The first step, finding the file, can be done with any machine. My steps were to allow that to be the affected machine. In your case you could find it from Windows and write the target URL, carefully, on paper. Then boot the affected system to a command line in recovery mode, use wget and hand enter the URL you wrote down. Then run it. That would save all the complication of mounting partitions etc and may be the best way in your case.

I can't begin to express my frustration with this. I am new to Ubuntu about 6 months ago. I amazed at how 8.10 handles graphics on my laptop with an Xpress 1100 card. Now, I can't run compiz and things just don't look right. Is there any hope for a future driver or we pretty much SOL? Hopefully someone could shed some light so I can just go back to Intrepid.

I run a six-year old Shuttle XPC that includes an ATI RV350 (as Radeon 9550) onboard graphics card. As I used the update manager to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, I also received the message about the ATI fglrx on my system not supported. Being the fool-hearty type, I clicked to continue the upgrade.

To my surprize, the upgrade went smoothly, my display is working, compiz is working, and I didn't have to do anything out of the ordinary.

Is my card new enought that it is being supported? I am not the lucky type, so pure luck cannot be the explanation for my lack of problems.

Hi,

I stopped upgrade after the warning, that my X800 /RV400 ot 450/ is no more supported. But I have the question, ati writes on their www, that users using older chips should use their 9.3 driver. Does this mean, tthat this driver will work on 9.04 or not?
Ubuntu just says, there is no support.

Does this mean, that al users with older chips should stay in 8.10 Ubuntu or buy a new card?

Considering this, and also previous problems with ATI drivers under Linux, I have a strong feeling, that I will not buy ATI anymore but nVidia maybe...

WellI upgraded to 9.04 yesterday and everything was going fine. I was playing Quake4, Doom3 and UT2K4 flawlessly. Booted up this morning and black screen with a garbled red stripe near to the top (the login screen) and the whole system locked up.

I had to reboot in recovery mode, do the x server fix and then drop to the root terminal and do "sudo apt-get remove fglrx*" and hope for the best. That got it working again, but I see that the newer driver is still not available. I can only get the older driver (8.3?) through apt and this apparently doesn't work with the latest version of xorg?? This begs the question: Why was it working for me last night?? I had rebooted as well about 3 times and it was still working.

I'm downloading the 9.4 drivers from ATI now. I have an HD 3650 so fingers crossed it will work.

I installed the 9.4 drivers with exactly the same result and had to uninstall them from the recovery root terminal (/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh) and restore xorg.conf from a backup. It's working now but without the fglrx driver - so no OpenGL.

What's the next stage a clean install?

Ah, I see. You sound like you've had exactly same results as I have. I don't relish having to reload this laptop, as I've a huge vmware partition on it, a bunch of data and my Warcraft directory to back up in order to reload it. Maybe this time I'll partition off my /home dir.

According to ATI's website, my graphics card is compatible with the newest driver (ATI Catalyst 9.4 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver). I see a lot of people talking about v9.4 vs. v9.3. If this driver is available for me (ATI Mobility Radeon x700, which isn't on the list of now-legacy graphics cards), am I good to go on an upgrade to Jaunty (barring other potential disasters)?

The following products have been moved to the legacy software support structure (including Mobile and All-in-Wonder Variants):

ATI Radeon 9500 Series
ATI Radeon 9550 Series
ATI Radeon 9600 Series
ATI Radeon 9700 Series
ATI Radeon 9800 Series
ATI Radeon X300 Series
ATI Radeon X550 Series
ATI Radeon X600 Series
ATI Radeon X700 Series
ATI Radeon X800 Series
ATI Radeon X850 Series
ATI Radeon X1050 Series
ATI Radeon X1300 Series
ATI Radeon X1550 Series
ATI Radeon X1600 Series
ATI Radeon X1650 Series
ATI Radeon X1800 Series
ATI Radeon X1900 Series
ATI Radeon Xpress Series
ATI Radeon X1200 Series
ATI Radeon X1250 Series
ATI Radeon X2100 Series

AMD may periodically provide Windows XP and Windows Vista driver updates (for the products listed above) for critical fixes only. No new features will be provided in future driver updates. The Linux ATI Catalyst™ driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above.

Any customers using a combination of a ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series, or ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series product with any of the legacy products listed above in a single PC system must use the ATI Catalyst 9.3 or earlier driver. All future ATI Catalyst™ releases made available past the ATI Catalyst™ 9.3 release will not include support for the legacy products listed above or any of the features associated with those legacy products.

Yep. Graphics performance was all but pathetic in 9.04 with my Mobility Radeon 9000.

My Radeon Xpress 200M runs glxgears at 2,200 frames per second with the older proprietary Catalyst driver that works in Ubuntu 8.10.

Running the Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD with the "radeon" driver selected at bootup, I am getting just 320 frames per second (one seventh of the speed in 8.10).

I suggest to wait if they make a compatible driver. If not, I will stay for now with 8.10 and by the end of year will buy nVidia, have enough of weak ATI support...

Ask yourself, if you need to upgrade, what will it bring to you right now?

Oh, absolutely. I need to get a new machine this summer anyway (my current, ancient Gateway laptop is starting to have overheating problems), so I'll make sure I get my next one with an nVidia card.

I'm in no hurry to upgrade right now (though I've heard very, very good things about Jaunty's boot times and loading times), as Intrepid has been doing a fantastic job for me so far.

Well, i don't see the boot time as a big bang. As I started to use Ubuntu 3 years ago, it was a real pain with my ATI, now with 8.10 all works perfectly. 9.04 is not a big step forward, it's just a upgrade with newer libraries. It could be interesting to make a poll, how many people are using the X series Radeons...
I think this is a mistake from the side of ATI...

I don't really feel like downgrading anymore. When I first got onboard the 8.10 train, I had to downgrade to 8.04 for a while. Now that I've upgraded to 9.04, I don't want to wipe my system and start anew with 8.10.

Personally, I feel that there needs to be a list of what to expect when upgrading, instead of just a universal distribution upgrade, and leaving certain users in the dust.

Documentation should be better on Ubuntu's side to warn users the incompatibility of the ATI's drivers, instead of letting people upgrade and finding out the hard way that it doesn't work.

For now, with my X1600 card, I'm running opensource ati driver.
Compiz seems to run fine, so does glxgears. But things like cooliris freezes my computer after a couple of seconds of usage.

Yeah, so if you want to use the open-source driver, that's the best bet for now until ATI comes out with a proprietary driver, which I don't think they will. As of now, moving onward from 9.04 and beyond, it seems that ATI will just start losing customers who uses Linux and/or don't want to shell out several hundred dollars for Windows every couple of years. Either that or the opensource driver gets better as more people spend time on it.

For those who don't know how to set it up to use opensource driver:
--------------
Open terminal

Reset your xorg.conf (Optional, if you really want to clear everything)

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Use vim or gedit:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Look for the line

Section "Device"

Within that section, insert/edit the line with Driver so that it says:

Driver "ati"

--------------
Reboot, and things should work out better than using vesa, or in this case, incompatible ATI drivers.

This is my xorg.conf file for reference. Yours might look different,

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"

I reinstalled and it went pretty much without a hitch, except the resolution and refresh rate on my CRT monitor was messed up after I enabled the restricted driver. I fixed this by going into System -> Preferences -> Display menu and setting up the correct refresh rate and resolution there. Any changes I made in the Catalyst control center did not work - even after a reboot. It now seems ok.

I have an HD 3650 though so for those with the unsupported X series cards or earlier it looks like the OSS driver will be the only option?

For those trying the upgrade, I'd say: Don't bother, backup your data and reinstall. This has caused me a lot of headache so far. Wireless has been a pain the **** as well...

Save yourself some money and get a can of compressed air, open that thing and blow the dust out of the fan.

I wish I hadn't done the upgrade. I'll probably spend a good portion of my afternoon on Monday backing up, wiping, repartitioning and reloading 8.10.

Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll never buy ATI again. They can bloody rot for all I care.

thanks it all worked out, the thing now is, every so often video / system lags. compiz works fine, cairo dock takes awhile to animate/load my launchers

I just restored it back to 8.10. I think i will just wait on 9.04... till there is a better solution

Hi,

I have a Toshiba Satellite with the ATI 3400 HD. Jaunty seems to have been built with my laptop in mind. Compiz works fine. I have absolutely no graphics issues. It's been a very positive upgrade from 8.10.

However,....

I also have a Dell Vostro 1000 with an ATI 200m. This rig has been a PoS from the beginning. But I have to say it has worked best with 8.10 and worst with 9.04. Quite a contrast to the Toshiba. I'm giving up on installing Jaunty on the Dell for now and going back to 8.10.

I also have an EEEPC 701. I've installed the 9.04 netbook remix and plan to go with something else. The net book remix is extremely slow. The last time I saw an OS run this slow is when I installed Linux on my cell phone sd and ran a pc from it.

But on a positive point, I like 9.04 more than the others. I'm using the 'new wave' theme with a dark background. The new look is quite nice and definitely an improvement; a fresh cup-a-joe rather than the old coffee stains. :)

Don't be too discouraged though. We have to keep in mind that software and hardware quality is always being compromised by our demands. Within a month the Ubuntu gods will have worked out most of the problems.

We also have to consider the fact that the hardware manufacturers are not lining up to offer assistance to the Linux developers. But if we want to help out with the development of Linux then we should always buy from manufacturers that are supportive of the Linux communities and development.

I also have a Dell Vostro 1000 with an ATI 200m. This rig has been a PoS from the beginning. But I have to say it has worked best with 8.10 and worst with 9.04. Quite a contrast to the Toshiba. I'm giving up on installing Jaunty on the Dell for now and going back to 8.10.

I also have an EEEPC 701. I've installed the 9.04 netbook remix and plan to go with something else. The net book remix is extremely slow. The last time I saw an OS run this slow is when I installed Linux on my cell phone sd and ran a pc from it.

But on a positive point, I like 9.04 more than the others. I'm using the 'new wave' theme with a dark background. The new look is quite nice and definitely an improvement; a fresh cup-a-joe rather than the old coffee stains. :)

Don't be too discouraged though. We have to keep in mind that software and hardware quality is always being compromised by our demands. Within a month the Ubuntu gods will have worked out most of the problems.

We also have to consider the fact that the hardware manufacturers are not lining up to offer assistance to the Linux developers. But if we want to help out with the development of Linux then we should always buy from manufacturers that are supportive of the Linux communities and development.

Bill doesn't own all of them.

Yes, but didn't ATI at one time crow on and on about how supportive of Linux development they were, and offered up some kind of drivers for Linux development. Now that these cards are all supposedly obsolete, I wonder what's preventing them from releasing the specs so that proper drivers can be written for them?

ATI is off my list of vendors permanently.

WOW, that's good to here. After the reboot did you have to boot into recovery mode and install the 9.4 drivers from ati? no oher changes you had to do?

or you just did a straight update through update manager and got lucky? :)

From Kano at phoronix:

You do not need to use U 9.04 or something similar But maybe just patch the id back into the fglrxko_pci_ids.h. This file is self explaining usually, you just add the id you see with

lspci -nn|grep 0300

...[1002:xxxx]

Also you should backup the /etc/ati/control file from 9-3 release to overwrite the new one.

My reply:

Hey Kano I was wondering if you would be so kind as to shed some light on your method? This is the file locales I get with 9.3 installed.

graffix@satellite-II:/$ locate fglrxko_pci_ids.h
/usr/src/fglrx-8.593/fglrxko_pci_ids.h
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.593/build/fglrxko_pci_ids.h
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.593/build/2.6.x/fglrxko_pci_ids.h
graffix@satellite-II:/$

Which one do I need to edit in the pci ids to or all of them?

Then I assume I grab the control file from /etc/ati ver 9.3, then copy over my 9.4 install.

Could bridgman or anyone else on the devel team shed any light on how this would work with an x1200? It's not that big of a deal, but I would like to upgrade to juanty someday, and I don't want to have to wait for the open source drivers to catch up...

Kano's reply, thanks Kano ;)

The last 2 are just links to the first one, basically you could reuse the file from 9-3 too and replace it on the 9-4 install.

Haven't tried it yet as i'm using my toshiba a215-s4757 lappy with 8.10 and I need to backup some things first. But this should take care of the issues with no displays detected after install. I assume if you were to build your own packages, changing this info in the source it would work too.

Hey! Today I was upgrading my Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04 and get a attention about my ATI fglrx driver problem...I have ATI Radeon x700pro card. I can't believe.. Is this means that my card is no longer supported by this driver ?? What should I do to fix it? Is there any way to solve this problem somehow ? Uhh... I very want to test this new release..
Thanx 4 All :)

Graphics worked out of the box for me after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. I got prompted that my card wasn't supported. Went ahead and jumped anyway. Working pretty smooth actually.

Hey guys, im new to Ubuntu. So I installed Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty final the other day, and I have an ATI Radeon HD4870x2. I tried installing the ATI/AMD proprietary fglrx driver that was recommended by hardware drivers. When i restarted my pc, my whole ubuntu crashed. The whole screen froze up and I couldnt do anything. I had to re-install ubuntu. Does anyone know how to fix this problem and get it to work? i mean the 4870x2 quite a new gfx card so it should be supported. Any help will be appreciated!

Well, I have HD4870 and had the same issues. Did the freeze happen after logging in? My symptoms were: ubuntu boots up, I get to type in my login, then password, then I hit enter, see black screen and then it freezes.

What I did about that was to power it down and go to sleep as it was late in the night and when I turned it on the next they it magically worked o.O Try that ;)
If you get a black screen that is, it would indicate that the driver will work for you evetnaully, just try to boot it from time to time.

You can also try this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_re stricted_drivers_manually

This manual installation worked for me.

As a sidenote: you don't have to reinstall ubuntu if the driver won't work for you. Check this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135274

Well, I run a ATI Radeon x1200 card, and I'm not even sure if I should upgrade. This is the way I see it so far.

1) Many ATI Radeon cards are not supported anymore.

2) This is because of of this...."server-y" thingy is incompatible with the
current driver.

3) You can use this in the terminal to get the driver:

sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx

Now, my question. Does it work? Will the upgrade, even
with the driver installed, be bad for performance?
Is the driver buggy? Will it work like 8.10?

I have read all posts in topic, did some surfing on ATI site and now I'm just more confused. In upgrade proces from 8.10 to 9.04 i get notice my card isn't supported with fglrx driver. What a heck, I installed anyway. I have FireGL V3100 and tried to install "ATI FirePro Beta Software Suite Multilanguage" version 8.601 released 4/20/2009 on ATI site. . No luck. Display freezes when X started.
With 8.600 shipped with Jaunty i have had same problems.

But!

ATI documentation says My card is supported, then where is the problem.
And can someone pleas explain me 9.x nomeclatation in comparison what i found on ATI/AMD site.

Open source drivers work, but the gameplay is terrible. I'm running a laptop with a x1300 card in it. Welcome to Legacy.

Now as far as I can tell it there are two things that caused this problem. The moving of a good number of cards to legacy and removing them from the driver, and the new xorg not being compatible with anything older than catalyst 9.4 correct?

I was really liking the load times too. :(

I have the same problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138302) with my Dell Laptop with an ATI x300 graphic card.

I had to reinstall Ubuntu 8.10 also.

The desktop it's blurry, change colors when you move the mouse pointer, the icons cannot be seen and also the background.

First I have tried updating from ubuntu 8.10 and I got this problem.

Later on, I installed from zero Ubuntu 9.04 and it happens exactly the same problem.

I have tried to change resolution (it starts with 1920x1200), but when I select another resolution, automatically ubuntu restarts session and uses the same resolution as before.

Also there are no propietary drivers to install.

I'm running a fresh Jaunty install on my thinkpad t43p (same ATI x300), used it as my workstation since yesterday non-stop, working flawlessly.

Also, according to the AMD/ATI driver site, the x300 chipset is now considered "legacy" and we are likely to face a lack of driver updates from now on. The current AMD/ATI driver supports X 7.4 (included in Jaunty).

If you fix it please let me now, I have the same ATI card and the same problem.

I usually do not use ati's proprietary drivers because they're more cpu hungry when playing hd videos. So I use open source drivers. After upgrading to 9.04 the attached screenshoot shows the me screwed up desktop.

In the xorg.0.log I only see just one error, the one that reports the system cannot load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so.

Any ideas?:confused:

Since having written what I did I have had two problems. Don't bother trying to play avi movies when in full graphics mode. My Toshiba froze up solid. I reduced my graphics mode to normal and it worked perfectly.

I also install the ati driver from their site. It's done through terminal but not too difficult.

Interesting thing: the Toshiba Satellite came with Vista. After a couple hours with Vista I decided to ditch it and throw XP on the drive. XP wouldn't load and neither would Linux. As always, Google was my friend and told me how to change a BIOS setting meant to block all but Vista. Anyway, just before installing 9.04 I had reset my BIOS to default settings. I totally forgot about the ACHI (?) and 'compatibility' setting. After installing 9.04 I found I couldn't burn a CD. I thought about it a while and remembered the BIOS setting. I reset to 'compatibility' then updated in synaptic. After that, I could burn CDs. Just something to keep in mind.

So far, everything else works fine.

Ok, my display was broken after upgrade. It would run the bootloader, then come up with a scrambled screen.

I run an ATI HD 2400.

I booted into safe mode, into a terminal, and removed all the ati drivers with:

envyng -t

then following the instructions.
(apt-get remove fglrx* might do the trick if you have no envyng installed.)

Then I ran
apt-get install fglrx
and then
aticonfig --initial -f

worked great! Running with full effects again. Good luck.

Hi friends,

I'm running 8.10 on a Dell Latitude D810 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X300.

I have a multi-display 'Big Desktop' setup using the ATI proprietary driver and running the Catalyst Control Centre 9.3 (desktop area = 3840 x 1200).

I don't run Compiz (as it won't run on the above resolution) but I do have Metacity compositing turned on for Google Earth etc.

So, am I to be forever stuck with 8.10?

What about the open-source drivers?

Would they allow the above setup with comparable performance?

Cheers...

I have a T41 Thinkpad with a Radeon Mobility 7500. I did an install of 9.04 from scratch. I had done upgrades of the past several releases with no problems but I figured it was time to clear out the cobwebs. The install of 9.04 went fine. After turning off compiz the display seemed to work as well as with 8.10.

Today I booted my laptop up and had a lovely display of garbled lines. I tried the recovery mode graphics fix but no luck. I booted with the livecd and quickly found this nice thread. "sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx" to the rescue! Thanks for posting that gem. Things seem to be ok now. I won't miss any of the nice compositing eyecandy as this machine was to weak to run them before.

I am definitely going to stick with nvidia when I replace this machine.

Just a note in case anyone here was having the same problems as I was,

Have an x850, using radeon driver, everything wonderful in 8.04, full 3D, compiz effects smooth. Fresh install of jaunty, x-server constantly crashes, compiz effects were slow. Fast forward a day, I read that jaunty now uses EXA Acceleration by default (8.04 used XAA). Added this line under devices in xorg.config to force XAA acceleration:

Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"

and now everything seems to work seamlessly...

babaum

April 28th, 2009, 04:39 PM

For those asking if I'm using fglrx, I'm not. It doesn't work, and it will break Jaunty if you force install. I think a couple of days ago, they (AMD/ATI) locked the driver install for Jaunty to avoid that - if you try to install now, all you get is a "distro not compatible" type of message.

I think this is a pretty serious problem, given the nature of the Ubuntu distro. I was getting used to wait for the next version and upgrading Ubuntu just to upgrade all supported software within it - take Mono Develop, for example. It's almost impossible to build it in Intrepid without creating a monster by installing all the requirements. So, I can't use my favorite IDE unless I use Jaunty. :(

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I think the decision of upgrading X and letting all of us (most ATI owners) in the dark was impressively against the original Ubuntu philosophy. C'mon, blaming ATI because they won't be updating their drivers forever to get along with every new X version? The least I could say about this is "childish".

I'm a fan and user of Ubuntu since the beginning, but now I just want to keep using my favorite distro with the latest Gnome version and the latest apps I really like and got brand new versions recently. And I can't, because I didn't dropped a lot of cash for my T43p with a nice 3d accel video card to get a "good enough" open driver. Besides, I love to play Neverwinter Nights during lunchbreak. What a shame. :frown:

April 28th, 2009, 04:41 PM

It's not the Ubuntu devs fault. If they had stuck with a Xorg server version older than 1.6, people would be complaining about their inability to keep up with the newest developments in software, they'd be behind in the current tech, and compatibility issues with OTHER software would appear.

The blame is on AMD, solely. AMD has been doing poorly with their proprietary linux driver support, and this is just the latest example. The two issues are, support for Xorg server 1.6, and support for 'older' cards. AMD finally released a driver that supported Xorg server 1.6, but for some inane reason, decided that they would stop support for many, many 'older' cards on the very same release, thus leaving many people without any other option than to either stay with the older versions, or to upgrade with the open source driver.

It does not appear as if this standing will be changed any time soon, at least, not by AMD. The only real alternatives I see are for the open source drivers to improve greatly and thus become a satisfying option (and they're definitely working on it, but it takes time, which takes patience, which of course, sucks), or for someone somewhere to figure out some hack that allows the older fglrx drivers to be compatible with Xorg server 1.6. It would seem that this will not be easy, or else AMD would have done it themselves.

Now look how ridiculous this blaming of AMD/ATI is.

I agree, blaming anyone but the user-base is pointless - we put ourselves in this position by deciding to install a closed-source driver. It is a great argument against using any proprietary drivers, and for not buying any hardware that relies on closed source. In that respect Ubuntu has made a great job (for the vast majority of ATI hardware) of detecting cards and installing working drivers, even if they do deliver a poorer performance than the proprietary driver they replace.

Anyone who has not yet upgraded should be warned to test their system performance with a Live CD before making the switch.

And repeating this link for anyone in 9.04 who needs to remove traces of the proprietary driver so that the open source one functions correctly: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver

Hi there im new to the forums, i realize there probably anything any one can do as of yet, how ever i figure this is the place to share my problem so that when a solution is found i will be already at the right spot. =D

when I installed Ubuntu 9.04 last night i decided to immediately install my proprietary driver, because after a few months with puppy Linux i was eager to enjoy some enhanced Linux graphics. i do not have old hardware.
my graphics card: Ati radion 3650
i downloaded the drivers from the manufacturers website, and once i restarted my system i was greeted with only a black screen. my crt monitor handles resolutions of up to 1280X1024, and it cant play what every is being sent to it. Sadly i think i will use the older version of Ubuntu until ati updates their Linux drivers =D.

ATI Radeon 9550 Series
ATI Radeon 9600 Series
ATI Radeon 9700 Series
ATI Radeon 9800 Series

ATI Radeon X1800 Series
ATI Radeon X1900 Series
ATI Radeon Xpress Series
ATI Radeon X1200 Series
ATI Radeon X1250 Series
ATI Radeon X2100 Series

AMD may periodically provide Windows XP and Windows Vista driver updates (for the products listed above) for critical fixes only. No new features will be provided in future driver updates. The Linux ATI Catalyst™ driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above.

Any customers using a combination of a ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series, or ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series product with any of the legacy products listed above in a single PC system must use the ATI Catalyst 9.3 or earlier driver.

I'm confused. Let me state that I have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 in my desktop (not laptop). I assume that falls in the ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series. How exactly does one use a combination of an ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series like my 3200 in combination with one of the above listed series? Isn't either one card or the other? :confused:

So far my 3200 doesn't work with Ubuntu 9.04, even with the supposedly working 9.4 Catalyst drivers. I've had black screens, white screens, messed up screens, window manager aborts, failure to recognize a dual monitor set up, etc.

Is my ATI Radeon HD 3200 supposed to be supported or not on Unbuntu 9.04? If so how do I get the correct driver so I can run dual monitor and also do 3d stuff and Compiz?

How about the alternative of giving up on ATI and buying and nvida card? I'm seriously considering it to side step these issues. The problem is there are also nvida issues too right? Can people step up here and list what sort of nvida card you have, whether it's working with 9.04, whether it does the 3d, composting stuff and whether or not it handles multiple monitors. Thinking about all of the time I've wasted trying to resolve this issue when I could say drop $70 on a card, install it and be done with the problems....

Didn't upgrade Intrepid to Jaunty 'coz I saw this post (I have ATI X1650).

What I did was create a new installation of Jaunty. Guess what, everything's working fine. In fact, I think Jaunty fully supports ATI (my model, at least). Though it ain't visible to me yet, all 3d effects are working fine. When I look thru "hardware drivers", my video card isn't listed so I think it's supported.

Also, DVD video playback has further improved (no more flickers), even my TV is working perfect using TVTime. All in all, Jaunty is a far improvement of Intrepid and I'm very satisfied.

Thanks all to the Ubuntu Community! Keep up the good work!

Did an upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 on this Thinkpad R50, and compiz was fine before the upgrayeddd but now runs like CRAP. ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 or something similar here..

Why does Ubuntu have to be so damn slow? I'm starting to think about trying Gentoo again..

How exactly does one use a combination of an ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series like my 3200 in combination with one of the above listed series? Isn't either one card or the other? :confused:

Some people install more than one video card to drive multiple displays. The performance will then be the performance of the weakest card.

So far my 3200 doesn't work with Ubuntu 9.04, even with the supposedly working 9.4 Catalyst drivers. I've had black screens, white screens, messed up screens, window manager aborts, failure to recognize a dual monitor set up, etc.

An ATI Radeon HD3200 is fully supported by Catalyst 9.4 according to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.5&lang=English

If you upgraded rather than installed then try this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver

My guess? You install another fine video card! That's what you do!

So, what does one do if they have a laptop, bright boy?

I'm not tossing aside a perfectly good laptop that was doing fine in 8.10 and now refuses to work because of some astoundingly stupid decisions made by both Ubuntu devs and ATI. I simply don't have the $$ to dump on a brand new laptop every 3 years when crap like this happens.

It's only stupid and pointless for those of you who lack vision. What is says to anybody paying attention is "Currently there is no way" - which is a response that imparts a message does it not? By contrast your response imparts nothing of meaning. Now take you negativity elsewhere...

If they were a real assistant here they would have said what you said, not some smarmy comment - and it's negative to me because I had a perfectly good system, that by upgrading is now useless.

Now for the issue - once and for all - and I will state that I have upgraded to the ATI/AMD driver and it still does not function.

1. What has changed
2. Is there a bug report?
3. Is there a workaround.
4. Are there any tests I can do?

And, no I am not going to replace the graphics card.

So, what does one do if they have a laptop, bright boy?

My statement still stands in that it says there is nothing you can do about it with that video card at this time. I don't know what people do with laptops. I don't own one. And it occurs to me that you purchased one regardless of the fact that you knew you can't easily replace or stuff in a different video card.

I'm not tossing aside a perfectly good laptop that was doing fine in 8.10 and now refuses to work because of some astoundingly stupid decisions made by both Ubuntu devs and ATI. I simply don't have the $$ to dump on a brand new laptop every 3 years when crap like this happens.

I really don't think the Ubuntu devs or the ATI devs got together or decided separately "Gee if we put this and this together then everybody will be screwed!". In fact, I suspect they'd be very happy if this were not the case. It's just that getting it done requires effort and time.

Support my gear, that's all I'm asking.

Sorry it's not my job to support your gear! But I tell ya what... There's nothing stopping you from taking the open source torch, getting the open source drivers and modifying them to the point where it works perfectly. What you say? That's a lot of work and would take time? Ah, so perhaps now you are seeing the problem a bit better.

Look I agree, for those of us who have these unsupported cards it looks foolish that Ubuntu decided to go ahead and use the latest X server and it looks foolish that ATI didn't have the driver ready in time. Perhaps Ubuntu thought the drivers would be ready or ATI thought that not that many people have these specific cards. I feel quite confident that everybody involved not only wished the situation would be different but that it would be at least resolved by release time or shortly thereafter. Hey I'm pissed it doesn't work for me either. But you must learn to deal with reality and the reality it, at this time, you just can't get there from here. Learn to deal with it and/or look for alternate solution. I'm sorry you picked an inflexible hardware platform...

Is there a bug report? I'm having problems with a Radeon HD3650. All Desktop Effects related. Any one in the same position? Maximize/Minimize + resizing windows is slow. More than normal CPU. Again someone recognizing these problems and most important does someone know something??

I also see that there MIGHT be a related issue with the new EXT4 fielsystem - but I don't see a real connection. I did change to EXT4. on all machines - so far my NVIDIA machine (this one) is fine.

What I am getting (on the other machine) as a fault is no panels, and apparently the screen size is larger than the monitor - BUT - rearranging the icons keeps tehm to the screen size displayed. strange.

It is a Radeon HD2600XT AGP card, on a HDTV using HDMI, at 1360 x 768 with 512Meg VRAM.

I have installed 9.04 as the first Linux distro on my main pc (Im fairly new to linux) I run a HD2600XT PRO AGP

After a few reinstalls (because i hadnt mastered the recovery mode) due to blank screens and crashing (a clever windows system that alerts you that somethings not working properly for those not acustomed to windows) After fidling with things im not 100% about, I had a decent single monitor working. I then installed ATI 9.4 drivers from the ati website (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.2&lang=English) this then allowed me somehow to untick the mirror screens in Display and now I have a desktop stretched across 2 screens.

However I (and a few others (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135612&page=2)) am unable to use the xinerama feature unless I disable xrandr (which should replace xinerama if Im correct?) Once disabled I can use catalyst control centre to get
2 desktops in a crazy useless resolution
a cursor on both screens that work independantly
If i change the resolution it goes caput.

It's a shame as I was so impressed with my toshiba portege M200 which does as it says on the tin "Just works"

Hopefully we'll get some solutions soon?!

I am using Radeon 4850 with proprietary drivers from ubuntu. It takes longer to boot (10, 15 seconds), has compositing issues, quirks in effects, the video playback is awful and all those stuff... But worst of all it does not resume from suspend.

Did any one else noticed the suspend problem or is it just me?

Btw. My GF has Radeon X1600Pro and she is totally fine with the open source drivers that came along with ubuntu. Even has the desktop effects turned on. Lucky her I guess, the card falls to a sweet spot where the open source drivers provide 3D support...

While scanning your repository no mirror entry for the update information was found. This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date.

Indeed. I agree with your point of view too. And it doesn't change the fact that by blaming AMD, you are asking for the hardware to work with your software, and this will never be right. Just think about Windows and it's insanely larger number of users... imagine what would happen if Microsoft releases a new "explorer.exe" (or theme engine, or whatever) with a release note: sorry folks, this won't work with nvidia forceware drivers. Nvidia should modify its driver to work with our new shell. Bad, bad driver!

Now look how ridiculous this blaming of AMD/ATI is.

Well I see you have a serious misconception here. Yes, we want our hardware to work with our software. That is true. But no one expects AMD, ATI engineers knocking our doors to solder new transistors or capacitors to our existing cards.

The drivers are like a layer between SW and HW and we just want a more compatible layer there. It is the duty of HW manufacturers to provide compatible drivers for operating systems. If AMD/ATI stated that they did not support Linux, It would be ridiculous to demand drivers. Yet they provide this crappy piece of code, we call proprietary drivers hence they are responsible to provide fixes until it works...

Also, microshaft releases new versions of explorer and theme engines with every new release of windooze and even with that HUGE user base microshaft faces driver issues. Or have you totally forgotten the first six months of vista?

I can confirm similar behavior on an HD3650.. sluggish compiz desktop effects with the proprietary Catalyst driver. I tried switching to the radeonhd drivers and got better dekstop performance..... but sadly they have terrible power management.

My computer ran at ~55 C + fan operated at full blast + power consumption was 44W with the radeon drivers. Radeon did deliver substantially improved desktop performance.

The same system ran at ~45 C + fan was noiseless + power consumption was ~22W with the Catalyst driver. And the Catalyst driver resulted in an extremeley sluggish UI.

I love choices :)

Sorry buddy, but for an engineer's (like those guys at AMD) mind, there's no misconception, only facts. The first fact is that the driver works perfectly - it runs Neverwinter Nights in my T43p way faster than the Windows driver, for an example. So, I can't avoid to think like them (with logic and reason first): so, you modified your little software, that thing called "X", and you want me to go after that BUG in MY driver because, imagine, now it won't work with "LINUX"????

Facts, buddy: the driver works perfectly for LINUX, but X is broken. For all you guys considering nvidia, another workstation stopped today in my company because of the driver versus the new X conflict (will post details about it tomorrow).

I've known a few engineers, and they aren't anymore married to a fact-based existence than the rest of the general knuckle-head population. The fact is AMD has had weak driver support for ATI since the day they bought their red-headed step child.

I'd been a Radeon fanboy since my first 7200, but last summer, I finally inhaled deep and bought an Nvidia 8800 GS, and I only wish I'd done it sooner. Their driver support is far superior to AMD- whether it's Linux or that other OS whose name escapes me at the moment.

That doesn't help with my Xpress 1100-based laptop. At less than two years old I expect better than "legacy" support. If they don't want to make a decent driver, than they could at least let the kids living in their parents' basements do it, they have the time.

I've always come down solidly on the AMD side of the Intel vs. AMD argument (the geekish version of the Ford v. Chevy debate). Now that I've ditched Radeon, it may be time to lose AMD too.

BTW: Neverwinter Nights was lame, You might just as well say it runs Spider Solitaire WAY better than Windows, so what?

Yes, but didn't ATI at one time crow on and on about how supportive of Linux development they were, and offered up some kind of drivers for Linux development. Now that these cards are all supposedly obsolete, I wonder what's preventing them from releasing the specs so that proper drivers can be written for them?

ATI is off my list of vendors permanently.

Yes, you are very correct. And what burns me is that AMD bought ATI, and AMD was touting themselves as a Linux supporter. I've written off AMD as my CPU supplier from here on out unless they get some Linux religion fast.

AMD is acting like they are run by either of the two Evil Steve's: Jobs and Ballmer. [-(

agree. The 4850 is my very first ATI card and while I love the card, the software support sucks compared to nVidia - in both Linux and Windows. First thing I had to do when I got the card out of the box and installed it on XP was to write a custom .inf file to get the fan to go fast enough, it was running 70c at idle, out of the box. I finally just gave up and went to an aftermarket cooling setup on the card and now it runs like it should, idle in the 30s and full load in the 50s.

Now this issue comes up, just another nail in the coffin. Next card will be a GTXxxx something or another.

Facts, buddy: the driver works perfectly for LINUX, but X is broken. For all you guys considering nvidia, another workstation stopped today in my company because of the driver versus the new X conflict (will post details about it tomorrow).

Well this engineer (and Enterprise Architect) disagrees with you. Yes the X server has been updated and improved. If you look at the history of it, it's a generational change and not something they sneaked in at the last moment. Let's use the Windows analogy since you brought them up. If AMD/ATI decided to ignore developing drivers for Windows Vista or Windows 7, it's their choice, but they do so at their own risk. Sure Linux is only ~25% of the global OS market, but both AMD and ATI have touted themselves as Linux supporters, trying to sell more of their product to the folks that run Linux. Now they are abandoning a huge portion of their existing customer base with many of those now "legacy" products being less than two years old. (As is the case with the ATI express 1100 in my son's laptop.)

I happen to work for one of the largest computer mfgrs in the world who has a very large internal Linux community. The internal Linux community discussions are quite heated and anti-AMD and ATI as a result of their decision. I certainly don't make our vendor/partner decisions, but some of the people that do are ardent Linux fans. It's AMD's and ATI's decision, they made it and now they will reap the benefits either positive or negative from that decision.

Personally I think they should have reached out to the open source community and made a deal to take over support for the proprietary drivers. But they didn't, again it's their choice and they will see if that was a good step or not.

Hi, I have a Thinkpad T500 with 2gb ram and an ATI 3650 card. With the 9.4 drivers under ubuntu 9.04 I
- Can't use OpenGL without an immediate crash of the entire system
- Can't play any video without random crashes happening about every 10 mins of video (Entire system, needs reboot after)
- Can't achieve dual-screen with two separate screens on one desktop (Xinerama doesn't work, everything is one big desktop)

Basically, my computer could just as well be a Pentium 133 thanks to these drivers. Carrying around my laptop feels like 1% multimedia and 99% brick.

Is my ATI Radeon HD 3200 supposed to be supported or not on Unbuntu 9.04? If so how do I get the correct driver so I can run dual monitor and also do 3d stuff and Compiz?

According to the list your card is enough new and should be supported. It is possible, that u need to modify the xorg.conf On 8.10 I added a real amount of lines to it I found on one forum. I will try to paste it here. Maybe ithelps. But later in the evening. Problems with your card are maybe because the shhift to new x and new driver is not for now goog. The will surely update the driver. But you have to wait. I stay in 8.10 and will look how this develops till 9.10 Ubuntu...

(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

Does this mean my card is not longer supported?

I need Open GL to work with Blender, is it possible to downgrade just the X server?

To me it looks like X has two components with different version numbers... like x server 1.6 and xorg 7.4... but I don't understand the relation... can someone please explain this to me, thank you.

My Radeon Xpress 200M runs glxgears at 2,200 frames per second with the older proprietary Catalyst driver that works in Ubuntu 8.10.

Running the Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD with the "radeon" driver selected at bootup, I am getting just 320 frames per second (one seventh of the speed in 8.10).

Here's the warning I'll make. I upgraded last night from 8.10 to 9.04. I had 3D working well enough to run World of Warcraft on wine without much problem, albeit with low frame rates with the 9.3 Catalyst drivers. Not impossible to play, but not a real joy, either.

Now, after the upgrade last night, I'm averaging 1-3 fps using the ati radeon driver installed with 9.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with the Radeon Xpress 200M chip in it.

Don't waste your time until they determine where the problem is and get this crap fixed. I'll be reverting to 8.10 this weekend.

I stopped my upgrade process when I found this thread. I've got a laptop w/the 200M as well, so I guess I'll be waiting out this issue. Hopefully they'll get it sorted before too long.

How did you select the open source ati driver in Live CD bootup

The distribution selected the "radeon" driver itself, I didn't need to do anything. It is an Xpress 200M in a Dell Inspiron laptop.

(in other words, Help us, experts!)

The latest ATI driver that is compatible with the version of xorg that is shipped with 9.04 does not have support for any ATI cards that are older than the 2xxx series.

The older driver which supports those cards does not work with the xorg version that is in 9.04.

I don't think there is a fix at this time, other than to not use the fglrx drivers and forgo hardware acceleration.

What kind of tweaking? :)

Compiz can be a separate issue IMHO - just getting a legit display is priority #1 here.

Thanks!

I downloaded the ATI driver from their website. I tried to compile the one for Ubuntu 9. but it didn't work so I went with the default and it worked. I installed it from terminal (since that is all I had). It worked all day yesterday, even after several reboots, but, today when I went to boot up, I get a blank black screen again with no keyboard control. ATI Radeon 2400HD.

That may be the oft reported "Freeze" issue - it's separate. One thing on that one seems to be the new EXT4 - did you reformat to that? Do a search to find more on it.

Originally I did the Upgrade so it was EXT3 and I had the same problem. Then I did a new install and selected EXT4, same problem.
So you are saying this freeze has nothing to do with the ATI driver? I will look into it further.

I see a lot oy yelling about grafix cards, well I placed my hard drive in another computer and my desktop still is unusable , but yes it looks like a video issue I have ati apg card. the other computer a pci card unknown but know it is not ati. on install it told me it was checking drivers , was that a lie? If it was checking ho come it approved the computer for upgrade. I want to know if they some way I can use grub command to go back to 8.10. And how come our designers forgot to adapt working drivers from our previous 8.10 os for the upgrade this has left a lot of ubuntu users without their computers until the bug is fixed.
Windows lost over 14,000 customers to linux os just this year. how many will stay if our designers keep making windows mistakes like this one? I came and stayed with ubuntu now for five years and this has been the worse nightmare I have experienced with linux thus far . I have lost a lot of time on this upgrade and may loose all my work in my computer now. I am glad I did not do it to my wife's computer other wise I couldn't come to forums.

"I placed my hard drive in another computer and my desktop still is unusable"

As in windows that is dangerous as there may be mainboard video, audio, processor differences; without doing a complete reinstall that could cause "unimaginable" problems.

"but yes it looks like a video issue I have ati apg card. the other computer a pci card unknown but know it is not ati. "

In Terminal or at the prompt type:sudo lshw
Look for "*-display" - about 40% down in list:

"on install it told me it was checking drivers , was that a lie? If it was checking ho come it approved the computer for upgrade."

It does check to see what you have to know what to install, but there is no "Approval" process - it's a "dumb machine" and if the program finds enough to begin the install it will try all options - it may not be perfect, but it should get you to a point where you can work on it - remember MS Windows and "Plug-and-Pray" every time you added something you could get the "Blue Screen of Death"...

"I want to know if they some way I can use grub command to go back to 8.10. "

No.

"And how come our designers forgot to adapt working drivers from our previous 8.10 os for the upgrade this has left a lot of ubuntu users without their computers until the bug is fixed. "

Remember Ubuntu is composed of thousands of programs - just as is Windows - except here they are individually tailored to the users - YES this "open source" can cause problems because of this, (instead of "Bill Gates" saying "yes, no, ytes, yes, no" to everything - but then you only get Bill Gates' way to do it). It's a choice to use Open Source.

"Windows lost over 14,000 customers to linux os just this year. how many will stay if our designers keep making windows mistakes like this one? "

Not a mistake by definition, but there can be errors and remember even I have an issue with Ubuntu now (here) - but I always have a backup plan... and even Windows, your car and maybe even your life hav issues that are not perfect, but at least you are doing the right thing here by trying to get help - we are doing our best..

"I came and stayed with ubuntu now for five years and this has been the worse nightmare I have experienced with linux thus far. I have lost a lot of time on this upgrade and may loose all my work in my computer now. I am glad I did not do it to my wife's computer other wise I couldn't come to forums. HELP please ubuntu save this day"

Well it's been DAYS here on this issue for me, but we are all trying.

Put the disk in the machine you want, and insure the program is installed on THAT disk and PC together for starters. Then we can begin debugging - I would suggest a new thread with specific questions, too.

Have u now 9.04? with open drivers?

Yep. Graphics worked out of the box as previous mentioned. I had installed the Ati driver on my 8.10 setup (worked very well. Not sure which version). Upgraded my system to Jaunty Beta. Which auto-removed the installed Ati driver during the upgrade process. All is very smooth here. It's been a while since I've had any trouble with Ati drivers for my card.

I was very surprised to see that it worked out of the box this time.

May 1st, 2009, 09:15 PM

I decided to wipe the install and try over. I did have to use the "Safe Graphics Mode" on the Live CD to get any display, but after doing that I installed a new (formatted and all) Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. (I get those names confused - sorry,,,)

I ignored the note about the "Restricted Driver Available" and immediately copied the ATI/AMD Catalyst 9.4 to my new "DOWNLOAD" directory and ran it.

I don't know if it's all working yet, but I did get a good display and saw GLXGEARS running at over 1000 FPS. Could have been mung or kipple somewhere from trying to figure this out, but I did finally get my 16:9 display at 60Hz.

I have Radeon Xpress 200 which is 'legacy'

I was getting poor performace on a Live CD.........no desktop effects.. so I wasn't sure whether to install jaunty or not

Finally I installed jaunty from an alternate CD and now the desktop effects run smoothly out of box withoout any configuration at all........
I could even say that as per as desktop effects are considered performance has improved:)

I am getting 400FPS here against 1300 FPS on fglrx in intreprid but who cares.....as long as desktop effects and videos run smooth its fine with me. For what else do I need a graphic card any ways?

Also I am rather puzzled. There is nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Absolutely nothing. The size is also 0B

I type all this in and it says unrecognizable
is it to be in steps coz it don' show that. now i only goes to grub when I ask for command it does same things here. What a nightmare!
remember mine does not go to desktop so I have to learn to do command from "esc" on start up.
I have no desktop to make adjustments . when it goes to desktop it appears scrambled, even if I place the hard drive into another older computer . no panels not keyboard use and no mouse!
Can some one tell mt the tip to take me back to the previous 8.01. I can not find a fix on this. right now I am on here with the 8.04 live cd.. I built a nice 8.01 and want to go back it was hard work setting up my computer for 8.01 and I like it I want for 9.01
are they any techs from ubuntu reading this or direct me to help?

I have finished to upgrade from 8.10 x64 and I like what I see here. But my video card is a x600 pro (ati) and it does not seems to be working fine.

When I restarted the PC the video flicking some minutes and then stopped flicking. It seems that the card just was seizing the new environment.

I was using compiz-fusion on 8.10, but now I will wait for some new driver after try it again. For now I just will use the "normal" settings on visual effects configuration.

I also have an ATI HD3450 and have video issues with 9.04. I was planning on switching to Ubuntu/Linux as my main OS, but after fighting with the graphics issues I think I'm going to stick with the Windows 7 beta (and upcoming RC) as my desktop OS. I really wanted to like "Jaunty", especially after looking at the difference in resource utilization between it and Windows, but wrestling with things that should "just work" like dual displays and video card functionality really seems silly. With the amount of time I've burned on try to get Ubuntu running the way I need it to, it really makes just purchasing a Windows or OS X license a more cost-effective solution, depending on your hardware platform.

I just thought I'd mention that I haven't had any difficulty getting my laptop up and running perfectly with my ATI X1600 Mobility card. I did have to install compizconfig-settings-manager. I don't know why it wasn't installed, and Compiz automatically ran after I switch the Special Effects to Extra.

I did NOT get an error message when installing from the CD that the drivers weren't compatible with the video card. So I figured it would work just fine. But you never know with hardware, you know? I haven't tried installing any other open source drivers, whatever Jaunty comes with seems to work just fine for an older mobility card.

Now I'm just running into small issues with Flash. BUT... oh BUT... Full screen flash (ie. hulu) works FLAWLESSLY. OH, YES. One less thing I have to use Windows for. MWAHAHAHAHAHA. I still need it for um . . . for . . . hmmm. Of, right, my PS1 emulator.

...click ... click ... Holy Crap! EPSXE runs FASTER in Ubuntu than under Windows! Dang! I don't think I'll be using Windows on this laptop for a loooong tiiime! LOL

Hi all

I've got ati radeon 9600. after 4 days of reading and trying, I managed to get to a desktop screen :P But that was all...

I removed the fglrx drivers, which improved the system, but still evrything freezes when trying to watch youtube for example.
I added in xorg.conf in device section "Device ati", adn nothing changed, even I thing the system become a bit slower.

Then decided to install ati 9.3 drivers, downloaded them from their site, rebooted in recovery mode, chose netroot and than I ran the downloaded "sh ./ati driver" The driver began to install "Ati Properietary Linux Driver - 8.593" and finished with strange error:

"Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default: v2: i686 :lib : : none: 2.6.28.11-generic. make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro"

The funy thing is that the last command is unknown for the system :P

"uname -r" shows I am really using 2.6.28-11-generic, so please anyone can give me a clue what's wrong with this error? I am really starting to **** off with ati....

I've been having the same issue here as many people after installing the Catalyst 9.4 package (corrupted display, hard lock). I've reinstalled Jaunty and am working now with the open source driver which is fine for display, but the fan noise is driving me bonkers since I've got no fan speed controls with an Asus-made ATI 4870X2.

I still use Windows for most of my gaming, so 3D acceleration is not as important for me, but the fan speed problem is severe. Can anyone recommend any solutions since I apparently can't use the CCC?

Not necessarily.
I have a HD2400 and after a failed upgrade and 2 clean installs failing after a driver upgrade I installed again and stayed away from any graphics tweaking.

I have not even started the 'System-Administration-Hardware Drivers' cause that will install the dreaded fglrx virus.

Anyway, I just checked my xorg.conf and it's still empty. Yep, zero bytes! Maybe that's my key to succes...

Now my video output is fast, windows open and close in a jiffy, VLC works as it was supposed to. I will install and run some game in a minute to see how that goes.

Update:
Running Nexuiz is a nightmare. Definitely no Open GL support, and when switched off a frame rate of about 2fps. Totally unplayable!

i have a laptop -- the open source drivers run about 15 degrees C hotter than fglrx. which is unacceptable.

Im back to windows until there exists a driver for ATI cards that has full 3d support, support for suspend/hibernate, and doesn't burn off my crotch when the machine sits in my lap.

I have a Radeon HD 2600 Pro AGP card. It worked perfectly in 8.10 with the proprietry drivers installed via "Hardware Drivers". After a clean install of 9.04 using EXT4 for / and EXT3 for /home (someone mentioned this could be an issue but in my case it is not) I was able to boot up perfectly but without any 3D enabled.

I tried installing the restricted drivers via "Hardware Drivers" but was unable to complete said installation due to an alert that said something along the lines of "jockey connection problem" (something like that). I retried to activate the propietry driver and got the same error.

So I went to synaptic and found the fglrx driver. Installed it. Rebooted and my screen froze upon entering my session. I recovered my screen and instead tried with EnvyNG. EnvyNG has always worked but I felt that it was a little slow.

I recently had to reinstall 9.04 due to a HDD conflict when trying to install WinXP (as a dualboot system). I retried installing the propietry driver from "Hardware Drivers", got the same "Jockey" error, but retried. The "Hardware Drivers" menu seemed to have frozen a bit but no "Jockey" alert. So I rebooted the system and to my surprise my card is working great. The whole "Jockey" issue might have been a problem related to my dsl connection. But so far everything seems to be working just great.

I would suggest you try installing the propietry drivers with "Hardware Drivers" and if not try EnvyNG (maybe it even works for the older cards).

May 3rd, 2009, 02:46 AM

I configured my xorg.conf to run open source drivers.

Now I am seeing some peculiar behaviour........sometimes the driver starts and all effects are fine and sometimes I boot without the drivers resulting in no graphic effects. When I try to enable them in Kwin I get that compositing is not enabled on my card.........although I have explicitly enabled compositing in xorg.conf...........I think sometimes the new Xorg server starts with my xorg.conf and sometimes with default settings without considering the xorg.conf file

Can you let us know if this works? My card is an hd2600 also. I'm scared of doing the update and I'm waiting for some good news.

So far so good - I am having some trouble installing X-Plane 9 - there's something different about Jaunty - the executables aren't executing off the DVD, but I should have an answer soon - but Internet pages and VLC MPEG 4 movie cips look fine in full screen HDTV.

The X-Plane issue is the libopenal change in Jaunty - and it's all WORKING PERFECTLY!

Same problem on my Dell C640 with ATI 7500
My machine is almost melting. It smells terrible.

I am wondering if this may be dangerous and can destroy your graphics card?
Is this the future for Linux? Come on AMD deliver something useful please!

shrndegruv

May 3rd, 2009, 02:27 PM

if you smell something, something is wrong. I would suspect defective hardware before suspecting the driver. even with the open source driver, my card was 20 degrees C below the threshold for the card.

I strongly suggest that anyone who is unhappy with the fact that AMD removed support for relatively new graphics cards from their new driver WRITE to AMD and voice their opinion!!!

I'm running a T60 that is less than two years old. It has an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 chipset. This TWO YEAR OLD laptop is no longer supported by AMD.

This is inexcusable!!!

I completely agree. I can understand that a decade old card goes to legacy. But a two years old card? and it's not only a linux problem since those cards are also legacy on windows. So it is definitely an AMD problem.

I am using one of the following cards in this Jaunty machine:

ATI Radeon 9550 Series
ATI Radeon 9600 Series

GUI works fine, woobly windows are fine, and even the desktop cube is fine but Google Earth is a disaster.

I forget which card is in this machine and I cannot check now because I have a kitten sleeping in my lap

And it was immediately locked by a moderator. Apparently they must have Best Buy or Apple training their moderators and customer service reps. They just don't give a **** about their customers.

Vote with your wallets people.

yep, I saw the answer too...

Is there any way downgrading the driver to 9.3 or 9.2? because "stick to 9.3", according to amd is maybe the only way for me to have working OS with X support.

The Dri does not recognize properly my rv360 and as a result everything works like a nightmare :(

I made a great mistake 3 years ago on ordering this laptop with the ati card in it (x1400). Won't repeat it next time for sure.

Luckily I installed jaunty on a separate partition to see how it worked without the restricted drivers...

well 3d is not (yet) there, but I think users with this card will probably have much more rewards with the 9.10 os drivers...

so I stick with 8.10 with restricted drivers when I need 3d, occasionally use 9.04.

still it is a shame that this thing is driving new people away from this great os.

what is really disturbing is that it is not possible to use the "working on intrepid" restricted drivers on jaunty.

Hi All,
i'm new to this forum and I got Jaunty working(on a dirty way) with Xinerama(Dualview) and fglrx.

I installed Jaunty on a diffrent parition (dualboot) and made a diff between the amdpcsdb from working intrepid(left) and the buggy jaunty(right):

I saw that RandR was disabled on intrepid so replaced amdpcsdb(jaunty) with amdpcsdb(intrepid).
Then i rebooted to jaunty an activated Xinerama -> that worked for me.

I have an ATI HD 2600 XT and i'm not sure if this works for you (maybe you just need to deactivate RandR to get this working).

To copy/edit amdpcsdb do it from a livecd (Jaunty must not boot before you copy/edit the file otherwise it will be overwritten)

yep, I saw the answer too...

Is there any way downgrading the driver to 9.3 or 9.2? because "stick to 9.3", according to amd is maybe the only way for me to have working OS with X support.

The Dri does not recognize properly my rv360 and as a result everything works like a nightmare :(

Sorry Hasplu, as you see, ATI/AMD will not give any reasonable answer to the mess, that they made, so the only hope is to wait for an upgrade of the radeon open source driver or to "vote with your pocket".

Glad I read through this post prior to upgrading. I'm still running Feisty Fawn due to the fact that it took me nearly a week to get everything up and stable with my ATI card. Compiz running and all. Seems every release since just has worse ATI support than the last.

This box will be staying on Feisty, no more upgrades for me.... at least until I get a new machine :)

I am still puzzled of why the "legacy" Catalyst 9.3 does not work with Jaunty/Ubuntu 9.04. In this page ATI says

"Automated installer and Display Drivers for X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 7.4"

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English

It builds for Jaunty without complaining:

sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/jaunty

But on reboot, it says driver is incompatible.

Leave it to ATI the explaining of why a 1 year old card is "Legacy", but the old driver IS supposed to work, isn't?

As far as I know, the legacy driver 9.3 did not support version 1.6 of x server, which is only supported by driver version 9.4. Jaunty implements x server 1.6 and this must explane why 9.3 is not working in Jaunty - sad but true!

Isn't the current version for X.Org X11R7.4?

Catalyst 9.3 in the 03/29/2009 version lists 7.4 as supported. What does the "1.6" version refer to?

My xserver-xorg package is 1:7.4~5ubuntu18
My xserver-xorg-core package is 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu14

Does Jaunty have to use the latest xorg? Is there a way to downgrade xorg and not lose other functionality?

By the way, I have my Thinkpad t43 with an ATI x300 running nicely using the open source drivers. My CPU does run a little high sometimes, but I never checked it while running 8.10 so I don't know if that is a new phenomenon. I haven't noticed a significant performance hit.

I reinstalled a fresh 9.04 for the third time (since the upgrade crashed). Desktop works but no very good, no compiz and some bad graphics. So I install the proprietery ATI Radeon driver. This is where the system crashes and will not display login, and mouse and keyboard freeze. The text screen in the background comes on three times for about a half a second each time then it is dead. The last line of the screen says "checking battery state" (I am not on a laptop). I am going to keep at this I guess and see if I can get it working.

Hi all, I'm having similar problems, as I documented here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7190435#post7190435). I upgraded without uninstalling the ATI drivers first...big mistake.

When rebooting after upgrade, all I saw was a blank screen, with a half inch square of random colors that appeared to be the cursor.

I uninstalled the properietary drivers, and adjusted my Xorg.conf accordingly.

I still have problems: now after I login, I don't see window borders, can't open my KDE menu, and pretty much can't do anything except open a full-screen file-manager (Dolphin) window and navigate around.

What is going on here? (I was having some problems with Dolphin windows maximizing improperly before too). How can I fix this, and install the latest radeon drivers? I can't even do anything in KDE (and ATI's install method seems to rely on a GUI being present, which is awful).

Can I install the Catalyst 9.4 drivers soley from the command line? And how can I go about troubleshooting and fixing this buggy window behavior? (what log files should I look at; what could be wrong)?

Just got a fresh install of Jaunty.
My config from Hardy works except for Xinerama (as many others noted).

If I turn on Xinerama in xorg.conf I get a black screen upon going to the login screen. The Xinerama option in ATI Catalyst is also disabled..

ATI Radeon HD 2600XT.

Can I install the Catalyst 9.4 drivers soley from the command line?That is what I did. Take a look at this page: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide

Accidently I recently read in a magacine, that there are severe hitchups with Intel based graphics under 9.04.

This morning my 8.04 box wants another kernel update (2.6.24-24) so I thought let me have a look into this part of forum to see if there are some known things I have to waiting for.

Now I saw this thread read along until here and I am deeply concerned about Ubuntu. Fine, that booting time has been reduced dramatically. Fine that graphics performance will increase. But hey. What does this help, when I cannot rely on the base distro?

Having several ATIs round here. Some running the OS drivers for reliability reasons. Others don't. All having one common: They are pretty aged.

I understand that EOL support must be there. I understand that things must progress. But does it make sense to change everything under the hood, that not even Intel is able to deliver a solid working driver for their own chipsets? As far as I understood from the magacine article it is so, that nearly 70 percent of code in driver handles initialization. And as the ATI driver the Intel driver handles not only a handfull of chipsets. They - at Intel - say that as of the radical change nearly everything needs to be changed in driver itself. ESPECIALLY the initialization part.

The OS driver things can be handled and debugged by kernel and X folks as open source part makes this possible. But for the closed source part it is nearly impossible to say what does work and what not.

Again I am deeply concerned about the current situation. Is Mark still in the boat at Cannonical? Ok. :arrow: Maybe it was his decision, to take this bold step - who knows.

I searched for 3 days to get the ati/amd proprietary drivers functioning correctly but in the end determined it just would not work for my hardware. I followed the this link to get the opens source drivers installed - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD

I have a Thinkpad T60p with the following video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200]

compiz works just fine as well

I tried to follow the directions there as well but they didn't work.
sudo apt-get --reinstall install libg11-mesa-glx comes up with nothing....
also it can't find libltd17-dev or libg11-mesa-dev

And when I try ./autogen.sh I get an error saying that autoreconf not found.

So I am back to using the vanilla/default ati radeon driver that sucks....
Icons get messed up, curser gets weird too and no Compiz.

hopefully, with all the thread and post about issues with video drivers they will see that they might have drop these drivers a little too soon.

I wish i could go on with jaunty, it's really nice and i find it a little smoother that 8.10 on my system. But since i have Xpress200, i'm stuck with Intrepid (or jaunty without 3d :( )

I have a Dell E1505 with ATI graphics card.
I originally tried to use Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 but both had lack of support for my wireless card, but detected my ATI X1300 Mobility Card. When I upgraded to 9.04 I liked how it automatically found my wireless (which has been a long standing problem with Ubuntu), but I read that ATI no longer supports "older" cards.

I tried using FGLRX, will screw up my graphics and give me a blank screen and I have to go into console to remove it.

I've also tried using envyNG and manually trying to install drivers for 9.3 (which apparently is not supports with the new version of xorg)

Compiz runs (using default drivers with 9.04), but I'm not sure how to test if it can run 3d programs properly. Any ideas?

Hello everyone.

After reading all posts... i'm confused.
I have ATI Radeon Mobility Express X1100 integrated with my ASUS X51RL laptop. Is this is 200M chipset?
fglrxinfo gives me this:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8201 Release

While i was reading all info, i have assumed that i need to install 9.4 driver first, and then upgrade to Jaunty with desktop effects disabled in first place.

But when i went on AMD site for drivers, there is only 9.3 driver available for my card.
Since 9.3 do not support xorg 1.6 and there is no 9.4 driver for my card... wtf? Am i stuck on Intrepid forever?

As far as i remember my card was not compatible with opensource drivers, at least not in 100%.
Please advise me something. I'm not a gamer, i just use compiz and emerald themes.

Regards

I have a laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200.

When I upgraded wtih 9.04, video performance downgraded to something unusable. Watching movies in VLC was not an option... and windows took seconds to respond to minimising, etc. Running Firefox was really slow.

I tried to install the fglrx drivers following the instructions here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide

I used version 9.3

That hosed my system. I then found out 8.4 (or something) was the last version to support the 9200 chip.

I uninstalled fglrx using a root command prompt in recovery mode. I also got dconf to reset the xorg file to the default.

After that my graphics performance is more or less back to how it was in Ubuntu 8.10. I get a reading of about 1700 fps when I test it. I have no idea what the fps was before... never had a reason to test it.

So something happened during my uninstalling of the proprietary drivers and/or the reset of the xorg.conf file.

Thought this info might help someone.

Jonathan

UPDATE
I have done one test trying to watch a video file in VLC. Fine in a small window.. .but crap when I go full screen. Will do more tests and update with results here.

Hi again :)
After 7 days of fighting with my Ati Radeon 9600XT (RV360), I finally managed to make it work with open source drivers (I gave up with fglrx - couldn't find a working solution for me).

Fowolling https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver I removed fglrx installed driver:

sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx

Than I manually delited everywhere fglrx presented on my system by

dpkg -l '*fglrx*'
and

locate fglrx

And I mean everywhere. I don't know if it is wise or even necessary, but it worked for me.
After that I removed the installed ati druivers, because they ware a mess after my struggle with the PC and reinstall them, making sure there is nothing left from fglrx driver as well:

sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core

I needed to reconfigure the xorg.conf file in order to use selected ati drivers. It is important to do this as ROOT, otherwise the Xserver does not use the manually configured xorg.conf after reboot of the system.
going as root:

sudo su
and executing

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Now is the funny part - to configure manually my xorg.conf file. Really helpful were this pages:

http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/DRIuserguide.html
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

At the end it looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon 9600"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
# XAA/EXA
Option "AcelDFS" "0"
Option "AGPMode" "8"
Option "GARTSize" "512"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "1"
Option "ColorTiling" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "1"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Radeon 9600"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection

than rebooted and everything works like a charm - glxgears shows over 750 frames, which is enough for my needs and there is no problem with the video at all.

About the youtube .flv movies I discoverd, that the problem was with the installed swf player - uninstalled it, because conflicted with the already installed shockwave flash v.9, removed and the flash itself and installed the new shockwave flash 10.0.r22. And I can watch youtube or other web movies with no problem any more

I want to say THANK YOU Russian 78 for the great assistance and the next beer is on me :)

I've tried the open ati driver but wasn't good enougth for me.

Then, I removed every xserver-xorg-driver (intel, ati, radeonhd, sis, etc) and reinstalled only the radeon driver (NOT radeonhd) and it's dependencies and works fine for me :)

Less glitches and hangs.

May 8th, 2009, 08:00 PM

I'm a bit confused here about whether my card is supported or not.
I guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones:
no general display problems or blank screens after upgrading to 9.04 but everything was running awful (menus would take 5 seconds to show etc) until I disabled compiz.
So now when I try to enable "Visual Effects" it fails.

I have ATI Mobility Radeon 3000 series and I'm not sure whether it's supposed to work or not, cant find it in the list of ATI cards.

Maybe one of the more advanced users could sum things up? which cards are supported and which arent, what's the cause of this problem etc

Thanks :)

Once I modified the xorg.conf the desktop effecs in kubuntu (Kwin effects) were working fine for me.....just for the note I have Radeon Xpress 200 IGP

3000 series work but terrible performance as per other users on this thread. Problems such as slow minimising / maximizing,
cpu / ram getting eaten up

Here's where Linux may fail as a mainstream OS ? Before 3d eye candy, your video card really didn't matter with any of the OS's. ATi & nVidia will cut support for video cards. OS X & Windows, they don't change enough and that really means often enough for this to be as noticeable an issue.

For previous versions of ATi cards to have 3d eye candy, would Ubuntu need to support something like 8.04 (the LTS version) even longer, while letting the 6 month versions continue to develop as relatively stable versions of cutting edge ?

Linux has always been an older hardware systems saving OS. But it appears with this, the 3d video issues will make any system's video card obsolete.

Before, one could upgrade video cards, but right now, anyone still trying to get by with AGP is obviously "shirt out of luck" for 9.04 and beyond ?

3d video effects, I raely used them, but being on 9.04 I still use basic video features, so the 3d desktop isn't as big an issue for me. But just feel that I'm shorted because emotionally I feel the video card (9600 XT) should at least be able to run the 3d desktop. I wouldn't expect gaming to be exceptional ?

Just me or anyone else feel this way ?

This coming from bridgman (ATI/AMD rep on phoronix (http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15796&page=33))

"All of this misses the point though. We're not saying "move to the open source drivers cause they run faster" (although they do tend to be faster for most users in everything but 3d), we're saying "these GPUs are moving to a reduced support model, and rather than quarterly updates of the fglrx driver we believe that our users will be better served by the open source drivers in the same timeframe". Comparing fglrx to the open source drivers this month is missing the point -- on a reduced support schedule there wouldn't have been a driver update this month anyways. Comparing 3, 6, 9 or 12 months from now is what matters since that's when the quarterly update drivers would have happened."

Does that mean ATI will not offer quarterly driver updates to their recent "legacy" cards? Man, ATI is leaving more and more of its userbase up the creek without a paddle.

I am kind of happy ATI stopped the support. Now that they have stopped the support people will have no other option but to go for open source. So I think the deveopment of open source drivers will get a good boost...
Though it will cause problems initially but I think we will surely get stable opensource drivers after some time.
As the cards are declared legacy......will ATI release the documentation for them??
If that does happen the I am happy I am rid of fglrx

Well, I'll admit when I saw ATi release development specs for OpenGL on their RadeonHD line this week, the R600 & R700 chip lines, I was pretty taken aback. Let's hope that they'll release specs on the rest of these chips, i.e., the Radeon Xpress 200M that's got me preparing to reload 8.10 so that I can get some gaming done on this laptop.

Hi, I dont know if its ok to post here , but having the same issue with ati x1600 and jaunty .

I know that ati dropped the support for old models cards , but I guess I had to make sure , I installed ati driver and of course it didnt work , so I removed it then the problem begins = video frezz using mplayer and X restart while using Compiz .

I followed this tutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver to remove fglrx completely but still having the same issue..

I dont know is there any thing else to do to improve the performance and fix these issue with compiz and video playing , or its not because of fglrx installation and every body suffer from it.

As mentioned here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7158165#post7158165 I tried an upgrade to jaunty and I got these strange squares around text (see attachment).
I also tried a clean install and I got the same thing. I tried vesa and I get a black screen.
In conclusion:

no opensource driver (strange white squares)
no vesa driver (black screen)
no proprietary driver

I was forced to switch to opensuse 11.1. I do want to switch back to ubuntu. What can I do?:confused:

hmmmm, I do not know if anyone mentioned this, but some intrepid soul (pun not intended) compiled xserver 1.5.2 for Jaunty, the version that works with the proprietary Catalyst 9.3 drivers for "legacy" cards. Now, I have not tried it myself since I've been busy lately. I would strongly advise someone to use a test system or partition before replacing their Jaunty default version. Also, you will have to lock synaptic from reverting it back to 1.6. If one is successful, I do not know how the stable the system is going to be afterwards. Just passing the info along, that's all. 8-[

I am kind of happy ATI stopped the support. Now that they have stopped the support people will have no other option but to go for open source. So I think the deveopment of open source drivers will get a good boost...
Though it will cause problems initially but I think we will surely get stable opensource drivers after some time.
As the cards are declared legacy......will ATI release the documentation for them??
If that does happen the I am happy I am rid of fglrx

Providing legacy support to real old cards is one thing, but to make cards that are only a year old legacy? With all the different cards out there, I wonder if the statistics will show the majority of ATI customers are now branded (unsupported) legacy customers?

Huh, no wonder upgrading was such a hassle... I guess I really should've investigated this before mindlessly upgrading, noticing that 9.3 is the last driver I can use in Windows. :oops: Oh well. Good thing I don't have a fit over losing Compiz, but I was hoping to get some VegaStriking done...

during first install of 9.04 ubuntu says that some hardware drivers are not supported,continue on and further down the line comes a question if you want to use propriety hardware drivers:mark the box to say yes ,continue on toend of install,reboot system and hey presto everything works,even my wireless.All running on a 5 year old Acer with yes an ATI card:)

Hi all

For those people that have ATI HD4550 cards and thinking of upgrading to 9.04, the following information might be of help.
When i first tried to install the new version i came on a scrambled screen and sometimes a back screen (even when booting from the live CD).
The easy way around this is by doing the following

When the installer comes up, before you press enter and continue with the install, press F4 and select the graphics safe option (this works either on proper install and on Live CD).
After going through with the install process, you can download the proper drivers from ATI-AMD website for the Linux OS.
There is a pdf with instructions on how to install the drivers, on the ATI - AMD site.

Catalyst centre seems operational and the drivers from ATI seem to work fine.

I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 with my x800. Using opensource driver. No 3d working. but mostly i don't play so not a big deal for me. But i would welcome the possibility to use 3d, enemy territory etc.

Anyway, no problems with the upgrade. Just downloaded, installed and worked.

I bought a gateway C140XL a year ago that came with ATI Radeon 2300 HD. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed about not being able to update to 9.04 and get 3d support .... :mad:

In short, the ATI drivers are crap, had major problems since upgrading, left with a system that gives me a headache after half an hour because of the permenant 60hz refresh rate problem that nobody seems to have an answer for.

Had to work on the system for 4 hours just to get it to boot up after the upgrade.

May have to crawl back to windows :(((((

I have installed a HD 3850 in my system and I have to say I am bitterly disappointed.

I have been using GNU/Linux in earnest since February 2005 and this is the first time that I have been so unhappy that, though it really IS painful, I've actually considered moving back to Windows just so that I can use the hardware that I want to use.

The drivers, proprietary or not, that are being offered to users in the Ubuntu repository are GARBAGE. They DO NOT WORK. What you get if you install them is a completely unusable system.

If anyone wants to flame or lecture me please consider this: When people cannot use their hardware - That's an absolute showstopper for just about anyone. People get very upset, it's game over. I really don't care what you want to tell me about the latest xorg and driver issues. Its 2009. This should not be happening.

If the older stuff works and the new stuff doesn't, you keep offering people what works until the problems with the new are worked out. As it is, what I was offered broke my system.

I have had hits and misses on qty. 2 ATI HD3870's running. My main issue is I do not want mirrored. Got that fixed... I am not running the big desktop but I am able to drag icons and shortcuts files etc to the secondary monitor form my main monitor. I cannot however drag open windows over to my secondary monitor.

Xinematic is a show stopper and have had 0 luck getting that going.

I am just doing trial and error at the moment being a relatively new to Ubuntu, I also am running 9.04, and manually loaded the drivers from ATI. Here is my xorg.conf as currently running:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*

HP DV5000 w/ATI radeon xpress 200m. recent upgrade resulted in poor performance of video card. No apparent solutions. Very disapointing. Even more disapointing is that I see no posts with any plans for how to remedy. Will ATI make specs available to open source drivers, or do we just sit and hope?

am i the only one here that the problem was solved for him during that update?

I've had the jaunty-ati issue since upgrading to jaunty, then after a little while I updated some packages using the update-manager (Qt 4 or something, it had OpenGL in the description) and everything was back to normal :D

any info on this?

May 21st, 2009, 09:44 PM

This is what i did;

Download the latest ATI driver from the ati website

Mine was ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run downloaded it to

Now open your terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal

Go to your download folder

cd Desktop
sudo chmod +x ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run
sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run

Follow the on-screen instructions

When you have multiple monitors like in my setup, go to Preferences > Display

Put in your correct display configurations and click apply.

Log-out and log back in. And your done. I've got a HD3450.

Hope this helps for people with multiple screens.

UPDATE: I turned off Compiz, because with it I couldn't even play a *.mkv full HD video file without crashing Ubuntu.
UPDATE2: If you use the ATI config tool in Applications>Ati Catalyst. Be careful that you don't break your ubuntu, if you somehow do break it using catalyst. Boot in safe-mode, and type the following line in prompt: aticonfig --initial

Dang.

I set up a friend of mine running 9.04 64 bit last week. Today he bought two beautiful LG's to plug into it. Knowing that graphics can be "funny" in Linux I wrote down his info when I set it up. It is an x300 RV370 card. I guess I'll talk him into a nVidia card. They are easy to set up. I have no experience with ATI stuff.

I'm bemused by much of this discussion though it seems to be the place to solve my problem. But the wrangling is putting me off Linux again.

I just started trying it again after two years. Before, I finally gave up because Linux would not find wifi cards and modems ( though I did battle my way through to getting them going, it took so much time), and more importantly there is software I can't do without in Windows eg Photoshop, word recognition, certain datebases like IBM's Approach). But I really would like it to be usable.

Immediately I have hit problems. This time the first distribution I tried was Ubuntu as so many articles recommend it for ease and user friendliness (and I used it before). It would not even start up after the loading sequence - which it seems now from this thread, is because i have a Radeon 7000 video card.

Too old a card you might say or "get a new one" as some contributors glibly say. But the point of using Linux initially was to make an old computer run - because I wanted to try Linux but not on anything new for the time being. It is a Pentium 3 450Hx - got lots of RAM (512MB). I am not going to spend more money on it - I want to salvage it.

I have spent two weeks now trying various flavours (There are too many to try all) and including every type of Ubuntu. Many of these give me blank or meaningless coloured jagged lines displays and not even a way to go into the command line. Some give just a blank display when log in is due.

A few work ( a bit) like Damn Small and Absolute, though neither found the network card let alone the wifi.

They seemed to have older kernels, I worked out, so I decided to try Xubuntu 8.04 instead of the latest.

Finally I had found one that worked, and I quite like it, although even then it did not find the wifi card (rtl8185) or the modem. (Much Googling and battling later I discovered the relatively simple GUI version of Ndiswrapper exists and solved the wifi anyway with a Windows driver.) Still working on the modem.

I upgraded then to 8.10 with trepidation but it works (the newer of the kernel versions listed in Grub too).

But I would obviously like to use 9.04 and dare not. (So I seem to be stuck with Open Office 2.4 for example and not the much better 3.1)

Now I come across this row and argument thread and realise my problem is bigger than I thought. It is seriously making me rethink using Linux at all.

The best OS so far for this old computer to tell the truth has been Win XP SP3 which just handles everything ( or there is a disc to run that will do so). I don't imply by that that I don't understand the problems, just what is the case.

But I was sold on, persuaded, by forums and articles that Linux is the system that will help with older computers and make them perform better.

But quite frankly this whole row here - and the continuing wifi problem etc, just argues otherwise. I constantly read about how Linux is so much less broken and more supportive with drivers etc than Windows. Just not true is it?

I am not a computer buff, I don't want to learn lots of stuff for the hell of it, I just want to use a computer. I don't mind learning what I need and there is some satisfaction in finding a solution to some things but don't enjoy endless arcane discussions as above in this thread. I do like the idea of Linux and open source etc,

I don't belittle the huge effort so many people put in but while this 9.04 type thing happens you will not convince me to switch however. I am tempted to leave off again and have another go perhaps in another two years though not for the moment. I'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

And I would like to try a 64 bit version on my main computer.

But as a mainstream desktop system Linux is a far off dream it seems to me.

(One other point - Windows of course when it produces a new system, requires advanced hardware, and you cannot run 7 or Vista on older stuff. So it may be that it is understood later versions of Ubuntu will not do for older computers. But you can run XP on really quite old machines - and on that OS you can then run virtually all the newer software versions).

If I have to stick with 8.10 Xubuntu why can I not still use the latest Open Office etc - which it seems I cannot.)?

Excuse the long contribution - I was really just trying to work out how to get 9.04 usable.

The last section of this post is a little OT. If you want to install the newest version of Openoffice, then install it using dpkg from here...

Okay, now recommence wailing against ATI ;)

Hi,

So I have upgraded to 9.04 and now I have no display and thus my machine is broken.

I have an Dell Inspiron 530n with ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO graphics card; is there any chance that putting in a new card would fix the problem?

If so, what should I buy? Needs to be relatively inexpensive.

If not, what are the other options? Fresh install of 8.* is one but that means loosing all the work I've put in setting it up over the past year.

Is it worth waiting to see if a solution emerges in the next few days? (I can't wait much longer than that).

Thanks.

If fglrx is installed from the repos by mistake, make sure you have an internet connection, boot into the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

or use in the uninstall script from ATI, /usr/share/ATI

sudo sh ./uninstall.sh

then, to get the opensource drivers back:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa mesa-utils
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core

For Radeon (old ATI cards - R5xx):
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon

For RadeonHD (R5xx - above):
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd

Bring back the default xorg.conf:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Installed Jaunty on an old laptop with P3 and ATI 9000 card for my five year old son yesterday. All seems to be good out of the box when it comes to 2d games and such. No 3d.

Replaced my x1900xt with a 9800gt. Problem solved.

I have an ATI 2400HD XT and had issues getting fglrx to work properly with BigDesktop.

Adding these lines in /etc/ati/amdpcsdb allowed me to get back big desktop mode without borking everything up.

EnableRandR12=SFALSE
MultiviewXineramaNo3D=V1
DesktopSetup=Shorizontal

The Xorg.conf that came from "aticonfig --inital -f" didn't work for me either and I had to revert to a different one. This is using the fglrx package that came from ati's website. Full compiz/everything working with big desktop as opposed to two separate X screens.

For fun I will post my entire amdpcsdb in case it helps someone else get things working.

I had the same problem. See my post:

I had the same problem. Try this it worked for me.

Boot up to a terminal session and type:

apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx
Since I used the ATI console

/urs/share/ati/fglrx -uninstall.sh

reboot
I was good to go. You might want to try

apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon
If you need to get online through the terminal session

iwconfig

ifconfig $device_name up

iwlist scan
iwconfig $device essid "connections name"

dhclient $device
Good luck I hope this helps.

Hey guys, I'm new to the boards :)

Here's the story ... been using Ubuntu 8.04 for quite a while, with ATI x1650 pro video card and proprietary drivers, THEN I moved home and now I got wireless internet instead of cable connection - I spent ages trying to get my Realtek Wifi PCI card to work in Ubuntu 8.04 but eventually gave up. So last night I installed 9.04 from scratch (via Wubi) and was really happy to see Wifi and Adv. Desktop Effects working out of the box, but of course it didn't take long before I found out about the ATI problem discussed here ... I'm really frustrated now :(

My question would be, do you think I can go back to 8.10 without breaking my Wifi internet connection? (Like, when was that Wifi driver added? It's not available in 8.04) If so then I'll happily install the older ATI driver for now, and if the situation doesn't get better I might switch to Nvidia myself (I didn't think I'd ever say that in my life!)

Thanks everyone!

I know I have to install from scratch if I want to downgrade, that's not a big deal. But I would only do that if I know for sure that my Realtek Wifi card will still work in 8.10, cos it does not in 8.04 ... in 9.04 it did work right out the box.

Going back to 8.10 to fix the ATI issues is pointless if I break the Wifi in the process :P

Thank you!

Please did anybody try to upgrade with the x600 mobile? I would love to update, and try out the opensource driver(once again), but 3d performance in blender is for me the topmost needed thing, since i am an 3d artist. I don't understand well what types are supported, and don't want to mess up my production machine. I hoped this gets resolved soon when I shocked realized that after the 9.04 release, but it seems ATI just wants to loose all linux customers.

Well, ati is dropping windows too. No new drivers for windows users either.

The open source driver should work just fine with your x600, accelerated2D and 3D. You can try the live cd to find out.

I have an ATI graphic card x1200 and I've tried everything on the new ubuntu distro and nothing worked.
Im going to change back to 8.04. Till someone says that something solved this problem.
