Have you no input devices anymore?
I experience this any time I try to startx with these newer driver releases!
I can't get out of it, pleace help me to enable dri  !
I'm using x7.0.
I have to ask you all that successful build this driver:
Have you notice warning on line 447 and 1330 in building DRI module during src_compile function?
am I the only that have that?
Pleace, say to me.
Thanks.

What do you mean by "No input devices"? Do the mouse and keyboard no longer function :S ?
I haven't had anything like that, and I don't think anyone else has. It would be highly unlikely that the graphics driver would cause mouse and keyboard to stop working. Do your mouse and keyboard still work when you use the old drivers?
As for the warning's: I didn't notice, but haven't used these drivers since they would crash X. I'm still waiting for an official ebuild (hopefully with fixes).

Actually I'm using xorg-x11's radeon drivers and all work fine, exept transparncy windows like conky and e-term( do you know why? )
but yes, I think my crash is quite different.
I hope to know if I have to warry about WARNING message emerging ati-drivers like 8.27.10 or 8.28.8,
there'll be someone else, sure:D
Thank you

have you renamed the ebuild?
you cann't extract the needed files to build fglrx module!
I have posted my-own ebuild for this driver release in Desktop Environment forum with few steps, pleace take a look at it! |
Thanks for the ebuild LAj. But it sadly it still doesn't work for me. Emerging always fails with the same error I posted a few posts ago.
I'm wondering, why the unpacking of the 8.27.10-r1 works like a charm compared to the 8.28.8 drivers, because there is no difference in "the unpacking"
code in both ebuilds.  |

ok,
edit your ebuild:
place
| Code: | | echo "${DISTDIR}/{A} -- ${WORKDIR}" |
in line 142 and shift the sh command of a line
then,
post the results

I made an extremely improved ebuild for this one but it fails to build the .ko for me

@LAj:
Yep, I'm running a x86 system. The output after inserting echo "${DISTDIR}/{A} -- ${WORKDIR}"
is now:
>>> Unpacking source...
* Unpacking Ati drivers ...
/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.28.8/distdir/{A} -- /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.28.8/work [ !! ]
!!! ERROR: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 failed.
Call stack:

ebuild.sh, line 711: Called src_unpack

Anyway, thx for the help so far LAj  |

Sorry, also ${A} is needed
We'll find there the driver.run original ATI file, and then we have to discor why cann't be executed!
Don't worry.

Hopefully they get this fixed, might be any issue with Xorg 7.1 as well, but I haven't had a chance to downgrade and check... to bad. |
Same problem here! Exact same resolutions, exact same problem. I'm using Xorg 7.0.0 so it can't be that.
Maybe something in the configuration changed, but I'm downgrading 'cause it's driving me crazy!

/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.28.8/distdir/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run -- /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.28.8/work [ !! ]
I corrected the ebuild and now it seems to find the correct Ati file. Finally we took a step forward .
But unfortunately I don't have an idea why it cannot extract the file. |

Just finshed fiddling with my ATi drivers
I was playing with a dual-monitor setup, and wanted to use BigDesktop mode. I created a new xorg.conf from scratch because I couldn't get it to work with my old setup.
Then after a while playing with it I realised that I could play video without X crashing!
Since I'm on a laptop I don't always have a second monitor so then I use my old single-screen xorg.conf, but there video kept crashing X. When I started a video either X would immediately freeze, using 100%cpu or there would be no video at all (just a black video area, even in fullscreen).
I set about to discover what the key difference was between the two configs, and I've found it!
The solution was to set 'Option "DesktopSetup" "clone"' to 'Option "DesktopSetup" "horizontal, reverse"' (or just something other than clone, I guess).
I don't know why but this solves my problem, but perhaps there is someone with the same problem so I thought I'd share my find with you
--edit
BUT (And I just noticed this)
Now I have the problem that anything OpenGL is shifted left about 200 pixels :/
This means that for example fgl_glxgears will have a third of it's window content hidden, and a third of the window is 'transparant' (rather: does not redraw).
Also in fullscreen games it is very annoying as you screen will be shifted significantly to the left. Is this yet another 'known issue', and is there are fix?
