Hi, I used the ati-drivers-8.542.ebuild as basis. Kernel 2.6.27 is supported now, so the 2.6.27 support patch can be dropped, and BASE_DIR="${S}/x710" has to be changed to BASE_DIR="${S}/x740" after that the new driver works very well with 2.6.27.5. xorg-server 1.5.2 and xorg-x11 7.4 Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 171701 [details] working kernel config I attach my kernel config, maybe it can give you a hint.
Simply bumping the ebuild worked here as well. I'll try to dig a bit this evening and hopefully commit something tonight
(In reply to comment #8) > Created an attachment (id=171701) [edit] > working kernel config > > I attach my kernel config, maybe it can give you a hint. > It does ;) Looks like CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ (in "Kernel Hacking") has to be set for compilation to succeed. Works fine here after I changed that.
ah. That makes sense! Amd introduces its own key with its driver. AFAIR it started with 8.10. When it is loaded 'g' gives you fglrx debug stub on serial port - I found that accidentally yesterday ;)
there is a problem with the driver. from Xorg.0.log: (EE) AIGLX error: fglrx exports no extensions (/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering I didn't notice earler, because most of the time I don't use composite.
Yah, I only got a blank screen w/ this driver. (Xorg.0.log attached)
Created attachment 171795 [details] log. Screen turns black. I can switch back to virtual terminal
(In reply to comment #11) > ah. That makes sense! Does it? Seems to me that include/linux/sysrq.h in the kernel is broken, using EINVAL without defining it first. Either that, oder kcm_debug.c in the fglrx driver should define EINVAL before including sysrq.h. There really is no reason that fglrx shouldn't compile with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ disabled.
Hong Hao, what are the rights of /dev/dri/card0?
So I went back to mesa 7.0.3, xorg-server 1.4.2, xorg-x11 7.3 - and of course aiglx works again *sight* - the 740 in the ebuild had to be changed back to 710 of course. I did either something wrong, there is something else f* up or the 8.11 release is partially brocken.
A plain bump ebuild now is in portage (p.masked for now) I'll play with the xorg 1.5 support to see how broken it is.
(In reply to comment #16) > Hong Hao, what are the rights of /dev/dri/card0? > hmm...There is no /dev/dri/* if I switch to fglrx.
thanks Luca. Hong Hao - that is very strange.

I don't know if it is what you want for now, but i think this will be very confusing for users..
ok now it's hard masked..
soon the -r1 (xorg 1.5) and a proper -r0 (xorg 1.4) will appear
(In reply to comment #23) > soon the -r1 (xorg 1.5) and a proper -r0 (xorg 1.4) will appear > I'm going to test the -r1 now..
Wouldn't it be nicer (and cleaner) to have just one ebuild that installs the right blobs depending on which version of xorg-x11 is installed (and maybe put in a ewarn message that the package needs to be remerged when switching from <1.5 to 1.5 or vice versa)?
Hi, I read -r1 ebuild on the gentoo-page. You still have: # Only support xorg-server >=1.1 BASE_DIR="${S}/x740" in it. Which is ok with Xorg 7.4 (you will just loose AIGLX and compositing), but with Xorg 7.3 X won't even start.
It's true. In xorg 7.4 the AIGLX extension does not work.It runs in software render. From Xrg.0.log: (EE) AIGLX error: fglrx exports no extensions (/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
I threw together a patch against the ati-drivers-8.552 ebuild in portage that would do what I proposed.

Now the problem is have aiglx to work. Any ideas?
Michael I'd rather get the next version deps to require xorg-server 1.5 and the older one to stick with xorg-server 1.4

Just libdri.so on it's own didn't change anything.
/usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions is made to be a symlink to /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions in src_install-libs(). Since ati-drivers seems to provide all the files found in there, this really should not be a symlink anymore, should it? Also, /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so, in contrast to libglx.so, is _not_ a symlink and belongs to xorg-server - am I right assuming that this might be issue, as this can't be overridden with eselect opengl right now? :/
(In reply to comment #34) I can confirm that copying the driver's extensions directory instead of symlinking to xorg's fixes aiglx and suppresses a few warnings in xorg log.

yes, you must emerge -C the older drivers, the depchain should make portage do that for you hopefully

Thanks. Now, let's see how this new version works.

(In reply to comment #41) Hi, If you will make a ls -l /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/ you will see that "extensions" is just a link to nonexistent: ../xorg-x11/extensions I have just deleted this link and have created a folder /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/extensions The same I have made for /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions To get read of "collisions" error.

IMO if the package only supports >=xorg-server-1.5 as stated in the ebuild # Only support xorg-server >=1.5 BASE_DIR="${S}/x740" Then the RDEPEND should be changed to >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5* and not the generic x11-base/xorg-server who permits the installation using <1.5 and ends with a broken install.

The system requirements listed on ATI Linux site are "X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 7.4". That means xorg-server-1.3 should work. But i get an error that fglrx_drv cannot be loaded and no screens found. The older version 8.543 works.

In comment #31 prefer to drop support for <1.5 (which is bad) in favour of avoiding a binary dep with xorg-server? (which is good). Anyway the solution is a)implement the patch to support those xorg versions, or b)update the RDEPEND to avoid install in xorg <1.5
(In reply to comment #37) > -r2 released and xorg-server block lifted. I hope it works fine for everybody ati-drivers-8.552-r2 installs libdri.so to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/, but xorg-server installs libdri.so to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/. This causes 'eselect opengl set ati' to replace /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so with a symlink to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/libdri.so (deleting the old libdri.so file). 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11' the fails to restore the xorg-server libdri.so (how could it) and leaves the symlink to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/libdri.so Any chance of changing the xorg-server ebuild to put the libdri.so in /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/?

This version of the drivers didn't work for me probably because I am at kernel 2.6.25 and xorg 7.2. When I switched back to a 8.542 version of the ATI drivers, 3 links got broken. "eselect opengl set ati" did not fix them. Neither did "eselect opengl set xorg-x11". I deleted the links by hand (sorry I don't remember them, but they showed up as broken in the directory where "libdri.so" lives. As I recall "libdri.??" was one of them. Be sure to edit /etc/portage/package.keywords get the ati-drivers version that works for you, then: eselect opengl set xorg-x11 emerge ati-drivers eselect opengl set xorg-x11
The ebuild depends on xorg 1.5, blocks previous version of ati-drivers. Please sync and tell me if the procedure of eselect opengl set xorg-x11 emerge -C ati-drivers emerge ati-drivers doesn't lead to a working system (should)
There are errors in my Comment #55 The version of ati-drivers that works for me is 8.532 not 8.542. The last line of my suggestions should read: eselect opengl set xorg-x11 Retest Summary: Three bad links still exist when I convert back to ati-drivers 8.532 after installing ati-drivers 8.552: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/libGL.so Emerging did not correct the problems. I had to delete the above links. I took a lot of detours to get ati-drivers back to 8.532. Some were probably unnecessary. The rest of this comment lists my trials and tribulations. I assumed that I should repeat my previous attempt to emerge the 8.552 ati-drivers. I have moved to linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r3 from linux2.6.25-gentoo-r9 where I first encountered the error. I still didn't work, but I was forced to also emerge 27 additional masked versions of packages due to some improvements in the the ati-drivers dependencies. With all the updates I had hopes it would work. Nope. Still crashes everything - some disk files don't get updated, keyboard dead - just like before. That is not what this bug is about. I was more careful about the errors. Exactly 2 files links are broken (they blink red too) in the following: # ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions total 2674 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2466086 Nov 28 15:05 libGLcore.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23741 Nov 28 15:05 libdbe.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Nov 28 15:20 libdri.so -> //usr//lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libdri.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 153068 Nov 28 15:05 libextmod.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Nov 28 15:20 libglx.so -> //usr//lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33366 Nov 28 15:05 librecord.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45349 Nov 28 15:05 libxtrap.so Note: The double slashes "//usr//".

for some reason I get this: (EE) AIGLX error: drmGetMagic failed (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
hm, ok, I solved it by cleaning up in /usr/lib64/xorg again, after unmerging an re-emerging the drivers. eselect really needs a 'overwrite broken symlinks' mode ....
