| == Method 2: Manual Install Method ==
| | At last some rationality in our little detbae. |
| | |
| Make sure ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' are enabled in your repository sources.
| |
| | |
| ===''1. Install necessary build tools and libraries''===
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo apt-get update<br />
| |
| $ sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)<br />
| |
| # If you are using the x86_64 architecture (64 bit, earlier known as amd64), install ia32-libs as well:<br />
| |
| $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| ===''2. Download the latest Catalyst package.''===
| |
| | |
| Download page: Catalyst {{catalystversion}}. This package contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit driver.
| |
| | |
| Open a terminal window and switch to the directory you downloaded the installer to.
| |
| For example:<pre>cd Desktop</pre>
| |
| | |
| '''or''' just use wget:
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/{{catalystfilename}}
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| ===''3. Create .deb packages.''===
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ chmod +x {{catalystfilename}}
| |
| | |
| $ sh {{catalystfilename}} --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy
| |
| }}
| |
| ("hardy" is not a typo)
| |
| | |
| ===''4. Add driver to kernel module blacklist.''===
| |
| '''NOTE''': This step is no longer necessary with fglrx 8.10 or 8.12. Just jump to step 5 in that case.
| |
| | |
| The ATI driver must be added to the kernel module blacklist so that the new ATI driver will be used. If it is not blacklisted, the official Ubuntu repository version of the ATI driver will be loaded instead.
| |
| | |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| Add "fglrx" to the line "DISABLED_MODULES"
| |
| {{Box File|/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common|
| |
| <pre>DISABLED_MODULES="fglrx"</pre>
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| Please note that after the modification above, the "Restricted Driver Manager" will signal "ATI accelerated graphics driver" not enabled (unticked). This is perfectly correct. At the end of the installation procedure it will signal in Status: "in use" (green light), but NOT enabled. It simply means that the fglrx module contained in the linux-restricted-modules package is not enabled, but another fglrx module ({{catalystversion}}) is in use.
| |
| | |
| You may also need to edit the file(s) (if they exist):
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-restricted
| |
| | |
| $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| Put a # in front of the line "blacklist fglrx", if it is present. Otherwise, the kernel module will not load automatically, and you will not get 3D acceleration.
| |
| | |
| ===''5. Install .debs.''===
| |
| | |
| '''For 32 Bits'''
| |
| | |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.593-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.593-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.593-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
| |
| }}
| |
| ''Using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_line_completion tab completion] can make this command easier.''
| |
| | |
| Starting Catalyst version 8.10, installing the following package ensures compatibility with restricted drivers' manager:
| |
| | |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-modaliases_8.593-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| 64 bit systems should have the same behaviour.
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| sudo dpkg -i fglrx-modaliases_8.593-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| '''For 64 Bits'''
| |
| | |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.593-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.593-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.593-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
| |
| }}
| |
| ''Using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_line_completion tab completion] can make this command easier.''
| |
| | |
| === Additional 64-bit instructions ===
| |
| | |
| If you have a 64 bit install, the above dpkg command may complain that "Errors were encountered while processing: fglrx-amdcccle". This is because of a dependency of the amdccle package on 32 bit libraries. If you receive this error, issue the following command after the above dpkg command, which will force the installation of all of the 32 bit dependencies, and then the amdccle package:
| |
| | |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo apt-get install -f
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| Catalyst {{catalystversion}} on 64-bit systems requires the ''--force-overwrite'' command in the above ''dpkg'' command:
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite xorg-driver-fglrx_8.593*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.593-0*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.593-0*.deb
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| When installing the packages, if <tt>xorg-driver-fglrx_8.593</tt> fails to install due to a diverted file conflict, you can [http://emmetcaulfield.net/Tech/ATIv84+Hardy/ fix the package with this procedure].
| |
| | |
| ===Fix for an error:===
| |
| If you are having this error:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: couldn't find library libfglrx_gamma.so.1 needed by debian/xorg-driver-fglrx/usr/bin/fglrx_xgamma (its RPATH is '').
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Fix it by doing the following:
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo sh {{catalystfilename}} --extract driver<br />
| |
| $ cd driver/arch/x86_64/usr/X11R6/lib64<br />
| |
| $ sudo ln -s libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 libfglrx_gamma.so.1<br />
| |
| $ cd ../../../../../<br />
| |
| $ sudo sh ati-installer.sh -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy<br />
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| If you get this error from modprobe fglrx:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| ERROR: firegl_stub_register failed
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Fix it by doing:
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ sudo rmmod radeon<br />
| |
| $ sudo rmmod drm<br />
| |
| $ sudo modprobe fglrx<br />
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| === Finishing the Install: Configuration ===
| |
| | |
| If you've used fglrx previously, you will not need to do this.
| |
| Run
| |
| <pre>sudo aticonfig --initial -f</pre>
| |
| | |
| Now you'll likely have to edit your xorg.conf (even if just to confirm the above command added the apropriate fglrx line):
| |
| <pre>sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf</pre>
| |
| and add the following line to the Device section (if it does not already exist). Include the following lines without '''[...]''':
| |
| <pre>Section "Device"
| |
| [...]
| |
| Driver "fglrx"
| |
| [...]
| |
| EndSection</pre>
| |
| Make the appropriate changes to "TexturedVideo" and "Overlay", etc., as described above in the "automatic section".
| |
| Save and exit, then
| |
| in a terminal. If it does not error you should be fine.
| |
| | |
| Some people find that changes to xorg.conf don't get used by the driver. To force the ati driver to adopt changes made to xorg.conf, type the following command:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Finally, reboot the computer and type
| |
| <pre>
| |
| fglrxinfo
| |
| </pre>
| |
| into the terminal. If the vendor string contains ATI, you have installed the driver successfully. Release 8.8 looks like:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| display: :0.0 screen: 0
| |
| OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
| |
| OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1950 Series
| |
| OpenGL version string: 2.1.7873 Release
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Please note: Depending on the particular ATI card that you own, you may or may not automatically have all of the relevant driver features enabled. R500 and R600 cards (X1xxx, HD series, and newer) in particular will need TexturedVideo enabled in Xorg.conf (rather than the traditional VideoOverlay) in order to support Xv accelerated video playback.
| |
| | |
| === Removing Mesa drivers ===
| |
| If fglrxinfo reports that Indirect rendering by Mesa is in place, even though you have installed ATI driver, check:
| |
| | |
| *Remove the package xserver-xgl.
| |
| :<pre>sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl</pre>
| |
| :'''Explanation:''' If you installed this previously in order to make compiz work, it will not allow direct rendering on your display. You can check out if this is what it causing the problem by running
| |
| :<pre>DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | grep render</pre>
| |
| :If it returns an ATI renderer, it means that xgl is being displayed indirectly on the display 1. (Taken from [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740287])
| |
| | |
| :'''Warning:''' This might make your compiz stop working as it is configured to use XGL. A solution might be to run the Envy script in order to configure compiz. Or, if Compiz stopped working due to "Composite" problem, check that the following is set in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| |
| <pre>
| |
| Section "Extensions"
| |
| Option "Composite" "Enable"
| |
| EndSection
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| | |

| |
| | |
| | |
| *Check for AGP and DRI errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log like these are:
| |
| :<i>(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error -1023
| |
| :(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
| |
| :(EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized.
| |
| :(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *</i>
| |
| | |
| :If you have Intel 8285P and E7205 chipsets and AGP not detected then you have to remove the i82875p_edac module and restart a some others:
| |
| <pre>rmmod i82875p_edac
| |
| rmmod fglrx
| |
| rmmod intel-agp
| |
| rmmod agpgart
| |
| modprobe agpgart
| |
| modprobe intel-agp
| |
| modprobe fglrx</pre>
| |
| | |
| :Blacklist the modules e7xxx_edac so it doesn't start up again when booting - add the following line at the beginning of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
| |
| :<pre>blacklist i82875p_edac</pre>
| |
| | |
| :This has been known to fix issues with -Mesa -AGP -DRI -Google earth and -suspend to RAM (s2ram).

| | |
| *Check you are running the correct kernel.
| |
| :'''Explanation:''' If you're upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy in some instances the Grub bootloader does not get updated and the new kernel is not loaded.
| |
| :Run in a terminal:
| |
| {{Box Terminal|
| |
| $ uname -r
| |
| }}
| |
| :If the output starts with 2.6.22 or below you are not using the current kernel and the Ati drivers will not load properly.
| |
