fglrx in raring

[Stinger]

Is there a good solution for installing fglrx 13.1 legacy drivers in Raring, yet? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Edgers PPA doesn't have the legacy package.

Not yet.
Although some packages for Raring are starting to arrive in the AMD Catalyst Legacy ppa
This ppa works for Precise and Quantal, I'm using it for Quantal myself.

This repository is downgradeing X-Server from 1.13 to 1.12.4 (which is maximum version supported by the drivers). Also driver Catalyst 13.1 (fglrx 8.97.100.7) is patched with this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/993427
(comment 14), so it could work on Linux kernel 3.5.

Catalyst 13.3 beta 3 (fglrx 12.10.17) is out: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...etaDriver.aspx (Note: this is still only for HD5000+ cards):

This isn't in Edgers yet so we can have some of our own driver building fun!

Rebooting... though "[373909]: Driver install via .deb package will cause OS desktop corruption" doesn't look promising!

[Edit: Post 1000! Woo!]

OK, finally rebooted and everything looks fine in XFCE. I wonder if 373909 is an edge-case...

Is there a patch for kernel 3.9 around?

[jfernyhough]

Catalyst 13.4 (fglrx 12.104) has been released. No release notes yet.

Page: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...2&lang=English
Download: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/am...x86.x86_64.zip

My status:
Downloading
Unpacking, trying a --buildpkg Ubuntu/raring
debs built, installing
DKMS "OK".
depmod "OK"
Signature check: driver is signed (as expected for a full release).
Rebooting.

Running fine with Liquorix 3.8-8. Going to test with kernel 3.9 (though I can't see it working ).

Interesting!
$ dkms status
fglrx, 12.104, 3.8-8.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64, x86_64: installed
fglrx, 12.104, 3.9.0-030900rc8-generic, x86_64: installed

13.4 might have 3.9 support (which is good, as Raring will ship with 3.9).

Rebooted. Well, what do you know! 3.9 support! Nice!

Has anybody managed to get this working on an AMD/Intel Hybrid (powerXpress) system? I've tried installing 13.4 in Raring, and get the "X is starting in low-graphics mode" screen.

X Edgers now has fglrx-12 and fglrx-amdccle-12, packaging this latest release. Nice!
