i think the problem is different. i just tried to copy amdpcsdb.default over amdpcsdb but at reboot i got no changes, so i think fglrx rewrites the file at xorg (or kernel) shutdown, so this can't be fixed easly It might be just more simple to update it manually may be the problem is, as you said, you can only update it if X isn't running, otherwise fglrx will write the amdpcsdb it used back after shutting X down. i don't know if fglrx stores information changeable by amdcccle there, but if it doesn't maybe we can protect (with chmod?) it from getting changed by fglrx? $ ls -la /etc/ati/amdpcsdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23162 25. Sep 18:51 /etc/ati/amdpcsdb If we remove the write permission then aticonfig may complain about this since it needs to write to that file, the same is true for the fglrx driver. They might also be able to restore the write permission may be, so this doesn't sounds a good solution for me. A better solution might be calling aticonfig and tell it to update the database, but it doesn't seems to be able to do this (we might request this features maybe?). For sure we can at least use aticonfig to update the version number, but i don't like this very much to. If someone has a better idea is welcome :) amdccle seems to report the correct number now. |
