From: Zachary Uram on 3 May 2010 02:10 This sucks. Stupid closed source drivers cause such problems. Any workaround I can do? I need to build the fglrx driver for debian squeeze (ati radeon hd 4550 card), but I just saw this bug saying the packages have been removed from testing due to a conflict with the x.org transition. The packages referred to here: http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary such as "fglrx-control" and "fglrx-driver" are no longer available so what should I do? I don't know when the x.org transition will be finished and I really want 3D acceleration so I can play my games :( So for now I must use the open source radeon driver which cannot do 3D :( Zach <>< http://www.fidei.org ><> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Specifically, the fglrx driver. I don't have problems with nvidia, but when fglrx-9-12 came out, it broke compiz, so I reinstalled 9-11, and put it on hold. I haven't upgraded it in months. --b

As a workaround you could use Sid packages if Squeeze's are in bad shape. I have two mostly Squeeze (amd64, kde with desktop "effects" enabled) machines running Sid's fglrx at the moment and they seem fine, glxinfo and fglrxinfo doesn't spit any error, xorg logs doesn't contain errors, and the few OpenGl stuff I just tried are working fine (namely "Torcs" and "xmoto"). Hope it helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi everyone is wrong, fglrx in Debian Squeeze need non-free packages in /etc/apt/sources.list ll they need is module-assistant and fglrx root(a)forest:~# aptitude install fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-control fglrx-source fglrx-kernel-2.6.32-3-amd64 module-assistant -y root(a)forest:~# module-assistant (and follow assistant, select fglrx, make, build and install) root(a)forest:~# modprobe fglrx root(a)forest:~# aticonfig --initial (replaces /etc/X11/xorg.conf if exists) root(a)forest:~# /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or kdm if you have QT vaccine) -- "La Voluntad es el único motor de nuestros logros" http://ngen.com.ar/blog http://ngen.com.ar/wiki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
