Hi all,
After updating my system from 2.6.32-22 to 2.6.32-24 kernel image on Ubuntu Lucid 10.4, my OpenGL broke down, so that every opengl program gives the following error:
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)That is quite a usual problem after updating the kernel, and until today, it always worked for me to reinstall a up-to-date fglrx driver(I'm running an ATI HD 5870 graphics card) from the ATI website. This time, neither installing the driver from ATI nor installing fglrx via apt-get did work. In fact, after installing fglrx, modprobe fglrx still cannot find the module, the system now only runs in low-graphics mode.
UPDATE: Now, I finally made it to the stage, where normal graphics mode with normal resolution is run, but with super-poor graphics performance. I actually have no idea what I did change, apart from rebooting from a system with gdm switched off.
Now, after some research, I found one interesting thing: in kern.log. During boot, these lines appear:
Aug 25 10:10:04 UStudioMachine kernel: [ 17.896416] p54pci 0000:06:08.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23

Anyways, even if this PCI error is not related to my graphics card, does anyone have an idea to solve my problem another way? I already did everything you can find here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/293012
but none of the solutions posted there worked for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
