Catalyst Control Center Won't Open

[Kabraxis]

Hi,
ATI Catalyst Control Center won't open, neither as Administrator.
When i try to start it from terminal, i got this error:


Parse error on line 2 of section ServerLayout in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
"Identifier" is not a valid keyword in this section.

Any suggestions?

(I'm using native, latest, so called "Ubuntu Tested" fglrx driver, and have Ati Mobility Radeon x2400HD)

Looks ok, At first I thought it might be a typo somewhere;
Anyway: How did you generate that xorg.conf?

Did the ati install do that automatically?

[Kabraxis]

I didn't generated anything, just installed drivers, and i think it do the magic.

Same here...I have an ATI Radeon HD 3100. I keep checking Synaptic and it says that amdcccle is installed. However, when I search for amdcccle, I only see documentation, *.desktop files, and *.qm files (e.g. /usr/share/ati/amdcccle/amdcccle_th.qm).

How did you install this driver?

Manually?
Or by System>Administration>Hardware drivers.?

I have the same problem too. I try to start amdcccle from command line and it gives the same error.

My xorg.conf


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

And line 3 is
Identifier "Default Screen"

This file is created during the installation of the ati driver by the Hardware Drivers section.

When I try to this command

aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

to create new xorg.conf then it gives this error;

Found fglrx primary device section
Unable to find any supported Screen sections

Is there anyone to be able to help?
Is there any idea?

My friend had the exact same problem, and the re-installation of the driver for ATI (one with .run as I remember), which he had downloaded solved the problem.

Try re-installing the driver for ATI, that will automatically re-configure the Xorg.

I found another way to run amdcccle:


env LANG="en_US.UTF-8" amdcccle

You can use this with sudo. My xubuntu is in Turkish language and this is a language problem.

But still
env LANG="en_US.UTF-8" aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf command gives the same error.

I will try to alexshr's recommendation. Thanks.

OK. I found the way to run aticonfig. First I have changed the xorg.conf with below:


Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Builtin Default Layout"
Screen "Builtin Default ati Screen 0"
EndSection

Section "Files"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Builtin Default Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Builtin Default ati Screen 0"
Device "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
Monitor "Builtin Default Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection



Then I run the
sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

It works!

It works!

Doing this gives me the following:


shantanu@GreenHead:~$ sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Found fglrx primary device section
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-1


And nothing after that..
