How do I fix it? (the same drivers compiled fine on gutsy)

thank you in advance

bump

**Gumper** · May 15th, 2008

I'm having the same problem. Have you been successful in resolving this?

**SledgeHammer_999** · May 15th, 2008

nope. I am just waiting for the new release this month(maybe this week). Hopefully it will be solved in the new release.

**peakshysteria** · May 23rd, 2008

Same issue in my end with the new 8.5 driver.

**SledgeHammer_999** · May 23rd, 2008

I don't know about you guys but I have the same problem with new drivers(8.5)

Is this specific to 64-bit?

**SledgeHammer_999** · May 23rd, 2008

I found 2 solutions:

Solution A:

Instead of

Code:

sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy

Use

Code:

sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/8.04

Solution B:

doing little googling and found a solution:

Extract the archive and navigate to the new folder:

Code:

sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver
cd driver

Navigate to where the libs are for 64 bit and make a symlink

Code:

cd arch/x86_64/usr/X11R6/lib64
ln -s libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 libfglrx_gamma.so.1

Build the package(the command doesn't contain errors the script just behaves wrongly):

Code:

cd ../
sudo sh ati-installer.sh -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy

It built the packages and they installed. But after reboot the monitor goes black. I switch to a console, login and do a "dmesg|grep fglrx". 5-10 lines come up and they that the driver is loaded and working!!!

I found the solution for that too. But for me is a bit strange:

Code:

sudo modprobe -r radeon
sudo modprobe fglrx

I restarted X and it worked!!! And I only had to do it once(why?!?!?)
But I have another problem:
It displayed everything in 1920*1080. My monitor's manual says that it can go only up to 1024*768. Even the Catalyst for Windows recognize it up to 1024*768. Even older versions of Linux catalyst.

What lines should I put to my xorg.conf file to limit the available resolutions to 1024*768?

**peakshysteria** · May 23rd, 2008

Code:

gksudo displayconfig-gtk

and set the proper resolution. I had the same problem after a clean install.

And thanks for a possible solution to the error. I'll check it out. Not sure i dare go there since I'm a bit on tin ice when it comes to the terminal.

Edit: couldn't keep away. Had to try but didn't make it this time either.

Extract the archive and navigate to the new folder:
Code:

Code:

sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver
cd driver

Navigate to where the libs are for 64 bit and make a symlink
Code:

Code:

cd arch/x86_64/usr/X11R6/lib64
ln -s libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 libfglrx_gamma.so.1

Build the package(the command doesn't contain errors the script just behaves wrongly):
Code:

Code:

cd ../
sudo sh ati-installer -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy

It fails on this last command saying: sh: Can't open ati-installer

**SledgeHammer_999** · May 23rd, 2008

sorry my bad.

Code:

sudo sh ati-installer.sh -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy

**peakshysteria** · May 23rd, 2008

I get the same problem with both sudo sh ati-installer.sh -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy and sudo sh ati-installer -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy:

sh: Can't open ati-installer.sh
