Arch on Freerunner (Arch on ARM)

Hi all!
I know there is a thread about porting Arch Linux to ARM, but I think this is more related to porting it to Neo Freerunner phone.
Most of the info is currently located here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:Hiciu
Includes instructions to build cross-compiling toolchain, current project status etc.
Is there anybody who would like to get involved?
We are in  serious need of a leader for this project, but other help is welcome too
I'll probably start looking at some base PKGBUILDs (kernel26, gcc...). They probably need some work. And I was thinking trying to get basic install script setup ( debian install.sh could probably work as a good base). But for most of the stuff we need to wait for hiciu to finish building and making the qemu image.

Hi!
I am very interested in this project, I have been working for 2 months with a BeagleBoard with Debian, but I want to run it with Arch.
How can I get involved in this project?

  • Merging Arch Linux ARM with mainstream Arch Linux

    I just came across a thread [1] in the forums that had discussed unifying support for other architectures into mainstream ArchLinux. Although the thread was a couple of years old, there seemed to be considerable interest even then to bring in ARM support into the mainstream ArchLinux. Is there any possiblity of it happening now?

    This sounds nice - but on what basis is this actually true?  If the criteria of unifying talent were sufficient to justify merging, then we should not only merge archlinux and archlinuxarm, but also ubuntu, mint, fedora, suse, and ever other distro out there.  All the talent would be unified.
    But all that talent would then be useless, as one who is familiar with fedora may not be helpful to someone using archlinux.  Archlinuxarm is sufficiently different that one cannot assume that familiarity or proficiency in one will translate to the other.
    There is a recurring case to have such a merger - and it may be well worth discussion.  But what the discussion needs is a clear assessment of pros and cons.  And a statement that merging unifies talents simply does not hold water as it simultaneously diffuses expertise.
    Didn't Arch have an April Fool's joke one year about rebranding all the distros into one?

  • Arch Linux and ARM

    We have been talking to the Arch Linux ARM team and have decided to refine our policy around that architecture.
    The Other Architectures forum has been moved into the Technical Issues and Asssistance category, and the ARM sticky has been updated with clearer direction about our policy.
    If you are an ARM user, please take a couple of minutes to familiarize yourself with the updated policy. Both the Arch mod team and the ALARM team feel that this is the best way to ensure that assistance is sought from the community that is best placed to help.

    Whoa, everyone's reading far too much into what I said.  I just meant that I got it installed under the chroot in android following the steps that were on the plugapps site; the actual page doesn't seem to exist anymore, but I found similar instructions here.  I meant that I thought it was cool that I had a functioning build of pacman running locally on the device.  Didn't mean to imply that it was a native install.
    Although I understand the reaction as I'm watching the developments in this thread with just as much anticipation.

  • [solved]patch 2.6.29-3-ARCH confilict with aufs2

    After checked the aufs2 standalone code and 2.6.29-3-ARCH patch, I found 2.6.29-3-ARCH confilict with aufs2...
    2.6.29-3-ARCH changed the do_splice_from of fs/splice.c to vfs_splice_from...   while aufs2 standalone need do_splice_from ...

    Based on reading this issue tracker:

    It doesn't work.  Does anyone have any insight?

    Even though you posted this in the 'other architectures' part of the forum, I would highly recommend you ask this on the Arch Linux ARM boards.  The chances someone can help you with this specific problem will probably be much higher.

  • Should "Arch Linux" also include architectures beyond x86?

    I've realized that there are separate community projects for ports of Arch to different architectures, e.g. Arch Linux ARM. Different cpu architectures are clearly becoming more and more important in the current world of technology. Would it not be logical to merge these all under "Arch Linux" as a whole? I feel that this would contribute to Arch's core value of simplicity.
    Additionally, I feel like a port for Arch would be needed for the upcoming Parallela board, which I think will be very popular.
    What's your take on it?

    The problem behind supporting a broad range of architectures is an obvious one: You need people to do the work.  Gentoo excels at supporting many machine archs because it's a souce-based distribution. Hence, the work that Arch; devs do to give us repositories of binary packages are, in the case of Gentoo, off-loaded to the users.  Anyone who wants to install Arch on, say, SPARC or PowerPC can probably do so, if they're willing to manually tweak the builds. Not sure why one would want to do so with Arch, though.
    Mindstormcreator wrote:Different cpu architectures are clearly becoming more and more important in the current world of technology.
    Disregarding ARM, what are these different architectures?  All PCs use x86 these days, as do servers, the next generation of gaming consoles, most HTPCs...

    Q: Why do you call the Parallella a supercomputer?
    The Parallella project is not a board, it's intended to be a long term computing project and community dedicated to advancing parallel computing.  The current $99 board aren't considered supercomputers by 2012 standards, but a cluster of 10 Parallella boards would have been considered a supercomputer 10 years ago...
    That's one hell of a bad sales pitch.

  • Arch is an OS option on Pogoplug??

    I just did a swift search of the forums after catching this on Lifehacker. (It's a couple days old, I was catching up after the weekend.)
    Lifehacker Article
    About half way through it, I noticed the update command... pacman! Am I just late to the party, or did PogoPlug port Arch?
    Lifehacker wrote:
    SSH back in again, because there are a few more things we'll want to do. First, update your Plugbox's packages:
    pacman -Syu
    You may need to run this a couple of times because pacman, itself, may need an update. Once pacman's done, you'll want to do a couple of other things.

  • SOLVED - Reinstall Arch on new thumb drive

    Hello all, I'm a noob to Linux, but not afraid of command lines (old school dos guy).  I bought a pogoplug on a whim and installed using these instructions: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 … 2-pinkgray but I would like to reinstall arch on a new faster thumb drive and start over.  My question is how to go about this (I did google it too).  I would like to avoid bricking the pogo.  This is my thinking:
    sda is the current slow, small, old thumbdrive, i plug in my new drive it would be sdb right?
    My pass at the reinstall:
    Start fdisk on the USB drive:
    /sbin/fdisk /dev/sdb
    At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:
    Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive.
    Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.
    Now type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, and then press ENTER, accepting default values.
    Exit by typing w.
    Now create the ext2 filesystem:
    wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs
    chmod 755 mke2fs
    ./mke2fs /dev/sdb1
    mkdir usb
    mount /dev/sdb1 usb
    Download and install Arch Linux ARM:
    cd usb
    wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM … est.tar.gz
    tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz  # This will take a long time
    rm ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz
    sync  # Takes a while when using a flash drive
    Clean up, reboot, remove old thumb drive. Cross your fingers and hope for the best.
    cd ..
    umount usb
    /sbin/reboot
    Once powered down, pull old thumb drive
    The SSH key of your device will be different, so you need to tell Mac OS X or Linux to remove it from ~/.ssh/known_hosts before using SSH again:
    ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.123 # Use your device's IP
    Log back in after your Pogoplug reboots using username root and password root.
    *whew* so am I missing a step?  Will the bootloader balk at the new drive?
    Thanks in advance

    Not sure. But I think they are images and system tar in your link.
    For images I would use dd (as say Ŝaran and later resize). You write all the system in the thumb drive and get a bootloader.
    The second (systema tar), you get all files but you don't get bootloader.
    You can do, too, what Ŝaran say. Do an image of your current system with dd. It's like clonning. Later resize your filesystem.
    dd if=old_thumb_drive of=new_thumb_drive bs=4M
    (from a third system)
    Beware with dd and /dev/ (same people say that it stands for data destroyer)
    *bs=4M is, generally, the block size of thumbdrives. So it takes less time to write.

  • [SOLVED]Laptop Internal SD card reader no longer working

    Two weeks ago I purchased a Raspberry Pi and set up my own SD card with Arch Linux ARM using the directions at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi with the internal SD card reader on my laptop and had no issues.  Today I decided to load up a XBMC distro to a new SD card, but my internal card reader doesn't seem to autodetect or mount my new card.  I tried inserting my other card with Arch ARM that I know is a good card, but it no longer works with that card either.  Here are all my logs that I could think of to post for any advice:
    uname -r

    It seems I have all the necessary information, but I am not sure where to go from here.  It's obvious my laptop is detecting the card being inserted and removed, but the card reader is never listed in /dev so I can't mount it.  It's listed under lspci but not under lsusb.  I'm assuming that it was two weeks ago and that's why it worked, but I'm not sure how to get lsusb to detect it so it will work again.  Thanks for any help you guys have.

  • Trouble printing with my HP Deskjet printer using CUPS and hplip

    tl;dr This 1,646 word post describes my frustration with CUPS and hplip. I cannot get my HP Deskjet F4400 set up with CUPS, and all the solutions I've tried don't work.
    I'm running Arch Linux ARM on my Seagate DockStar, a small ARM-based "plug computer" that I use as a home server. My printer is the HP Deskjet F4480, which is part of the HP Deskjet F4400 series.
    I previously had CUPS set up to share my printer with my home network, using hplip for the printer driver. I never upgraded CUPS or hplip because those versions worked fine, and I didn't want to break anything avoid breaking anything. The versions that I was using had to have been at least one to two years old.
    Everything was working very smoothly... until a few days ago. The drive I was running Arch Linux ARM on became corrupt, so I had to install a fresh copy of the operating system. That meant losing all of the working versions and configuration files each application I had installed, including CUPS. I thought I had a backup image of the drive, but it didn't work when I tried to restore it. (Yes, it was stupid of me not to test my backup.)
    Setting up CUPS was one of the first things that I wanted to do after reinstalling, since my family depends on the network printing functionality almost daily. Unfortunately, I could not get CUPS to work with my printer correctly. It wouldn't be able to display a list of drivers, HP's setup utility encountered an error adding it, and it threw various errors when I tried to print test pages. I ended up reading hundreds of forum posts, wiki articles, and CUPS/hplip tutorials to try to figure out how to properly set it up. I ended up spending a total of nearly ten hours trying to get the printer to print with CUPS, and it's still not working after all that work.
    I'm going to explain in this post some of the many things that I've tried so far. I just removed all of the printing packages from my system and any extra files that were left behind. I'm now going to be installing all of the packages again and documenting everything that I have been trying to do to get it to work. I'll try to include exact error messages and logs where necessary.
    1. I first found this article on the Arch Linux ARM website on how to set up a CUPS printer. I didn't really want to use webmin, but I did it anyway so that I could follow the guide. I installed all the packages mentioned except for cups-pdf, since I didn't need print to PDF support. Everything installed smoothly, and I configured CUPS and webmin to allow access to other computers on the network. I started to notice problems in the instructions - /etc/rc.d/cups was actually /etc/rc.d/cupsd, /etc/printers.conf was actually /etc/cups/printers.conf, and webmin didn't actually add anything to the printers.conf file. I uninstalled webmin at this point because I didn't need it, and I decided I wasn't going to follow that guide with incorrect information.
    2. I then tried to set up the printer on my own using the CUPS web interface listening on port 631. I clicked the Add Printer button and it switched me to the HTTPS web interface. I then logged into the root account and was presented with the list of printers. My printer was listed as "HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series)", so I selected it and continued. I saw a list of printer models (PPD files) ending in CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9. There was no entry for my printer, so I tried the "HP DeskJet Series (en)" one. I set the default options and chose Maintenaince->Print test page. I then got a ridiculously simple error: "Unable to print test page: No such file or directory". How do I even know what file or directory it's referencing? I read online that it may be because I'm not in the lp group, but root is indeed in there. I saw in the error log "Avahi client failed: -26". I started dbus and avahi-daemon just in case, but I still got that silly error. I restarted cups and the same error message occured.
    3. I researched online that pretty much the only way for my printer to have a driver would be to install hplip. Before installing hplip, I uninstalled CUPS, leaving cupsd.conf but deleting printers.conf. Then I installed CUPS and hplip together, with hplip requiring foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, and foomatic-filters. Everything seemed to install correctly. I started CUPS again and then ran hp-setup -i to try to install my printer. I selected USB and it found my printer, hp:/usb/Deskjet_F4400_series?serial=[printer serial number here]. I entered a simple name and then was told that no PPD file was found for the printer but that I could specify one manually. There were none I could find online; everywhere it just said to install hplip. I used the find command to find "f4400" and finally found 2 compressed PPDs located at /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series-hpijs.ppd.gz and /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series.ppd.gz. I gunzipped both of them and pointed hpsetup to the hpijs one, knowing that I was using the hpijs one when it was working before. It told me "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series hpijs, 3.12.6". Hooray! I selected to use it, but then setup failed: "error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again." Ugh!
    4. I restarted CUPS and went into the hp-setup process again. It gave me the same printer queue setup failed error. I don't know if these entries in the CUPS error log are related or not, but these errors relating to foomatic showed up. I restarted CUPS again and this time used the non-hpijs file with hp-setup. This one was called "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series, hpcups 3.12.6". It failed again with the same error and the same entries in the error log. I found lots of posts online about this error, but none seemed to have a solution that would work for me. Now I tried running hp-setup in debug mode with -g. Here is what it said before the error. I then tried to Google "debug: addPrinter() returned (0, Unable to connect to CUPS server)". I saw on an Arch bug report to install dbus-python and python2-gobject, as well as create a symlink for /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python. It didn't work - same error.
    5. I then tried to add the printer to CUPS via its web interface. Now there were two listed,  HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series) and HP Deskjet F4400 series USB [printer serial number here] HPLIP (HP Deskjet F4400 series). So, hplip added the second one. I tried both of them, but after clicking Continue the page started to hang. I got another stupid, undescriptive error. "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success". I saw the same foomatic errors in the error log as before. I then started reading the ArchWiki page on CUPS, located here. I tried the blacklisting usblp. I tried changing the permissions on the device node, although this starts to become ridiculous that it is even required to do that. Nothing was working; the printer installation still didn't work with hp-setup or with CUPS. Then, I found what I was looking for: the exact error I had on the wiki page! It said for "Unable to get list of printer drivers" you should "Try to remove Foomatic drivers." WTF? Foomatic is required for hplip, and hplip is required for my printer. I can't do that. Forum posts say to try that or do the permissions or usblp thing. Nothing is working.
    6. I tried various other things to get it to work, even though I knew they probably wouldn't make it any different. I copied the PPDs from hplip to another folder and uninstalled hplip and foomatic. I then added them to /usr/share/cups/model and CUPS successfully found them and set up the printer. I reinstalled hplip and foomatic since they're needed for those PPDs to function, and I tried printing a test page. It failed. I tried using the CUPS web interface to modify the printer driver; nope, that wasn't going to happen: "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success".
    That concludes the list of some of the things that I have tried so far. I really want to get this printer working, but right now I am really fed up with CUPS and hplip. It's things like this that make me hesitant to recommend Linux to anyone else. So much manual configuration and tinkering the inner workings of things is required to do tasks that would be quite simple on Windows. For example, I can plug this printer into my Windows 7 machine right now, wait for the driver to automatically be installed and configured, and have a test page in my hands less than a minute after I first plugged in the USB cable. I can share the printer with any other Windows machine on the network by checking a single checkbox.
    But back to my problem with getting the printer to work on my DockStar. I just uninstalled all of CUPS, hplip, and foomatic again and removed all of their files. I can walk through things to try that you guys post and then give you full logs of everything - just give me exactly what to do and install and the exact order to do it all in. I just don't know what to do at this point and am so frustrated with this that I'm about to give up.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this printer working? I know this was a very long post, but I just wanted to explain everything that I've tried and how nothing worked. I really hope that we can figure this out so that I'll be able to print, and maybe it'll solve a few other people's problems with their printers, too. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for the help.

    Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
    make sure these packages are installed or install them
    pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
    pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
    rc.d cups start
    To add device and install hp driver:
    1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
    2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
    3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
    run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
    # system-config-printer
    click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
    you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
    If you encounter the following error:
    File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
    debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
    TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
    You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
    4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

    PKGBUILD
    and submit to AUR??
    first, I'm going to run it thru the motions on my 32bit and x86_64 arch installs to test it
    as I already have compiled it successfully, and now want to package it,etc
    thanks for all your help!
    PS
    I also have to make a AUR package for the linux-live-6.30_x86 and linux-live-6.3.0x86_64 remaster kits which this kernel is meant for
    and gotta figure out how to do that too...

  • Makepkg fails on custom kernel.

    Hi.
    I'm trying to compile the arch kernel with a few added patches to increase battery life.
    What I have done is: Installed abs, and ran ABS as root. Then I made a directory called kernel, copied the kernel26 from ABS to that directory (so kernel had a subdirectory called kernel26).
    Then I ran this script (changed the name to mine) in the kernel (not kernel26) folder, which created a new kernel26-gigamo folder.
    What I did next was copy these four patches to that directory, and added them in to the pkgbuild:
    avoid-overflows-in-kernel-timec.patch
    clockevent-simplify-list-operations.patch
    uvesafb-small-cleanups.patch
    writeback-speed-up-writeback-of-big-dirty-files.patch
    (they come from here)

    I removed the src/ directory and ran makepkg and it succeeded. Pacman -U kernel.pkg.tar.gz also worked. Now all that's left is rebooting and trying.
    Thanks everyone.
    OK, I guess it's not over yet. I rebooted in the new kernel, but it says it can't find /dev/sda3 (which is my / partition).
    This is my grub entry:
    title Arch Linux Gigamo
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
    initrd /boot/kernel26-gigamo.img
    Okay well, I didnt realise there was a vmlinux26-gigamo as well. Will see if that fixes it.

  • Need some help with a split package

    Basically, I'd like to have some code in my PKGBUILD that will append some extra info to the package name based on a file the user defined.  This is for kernel26-ck and the file I speak of is the .config he/she makes.  Below is the code that doesn't work and I think it doesn't work because the name of the package is the name of the package_name() {} function and both of of these have to match the pkgname array.  What I want is to have the pkgname array get generated dynamically based on the code below which starts before the make command in the build section.  Advise is appreciated.  Is what I'm asking for possible?

    # Allow you to select additional kernel options prior to a build via a menuconfig.
    ## STREAMLINE_CONFIG OPTION
    # Similar to a make localmodconfig but this actually works!
    # WARNING - make CERTAIN that all modules are modprobed BEFORE you begin making the pkg!
    # read, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=830221#p830221
    # to keep track of which modules are needed for your specific system/hardware, give my module_db script.

    # Not that if you use my script, this PKGBUILD will auto run the reload_data base for you to probe
    # all the modules you have logged!
    ## USE CURRENT KERNEL'S .CONFIG
    # Enabling this option will use the .config of the RUNNING kernel rather than the ARCH defaults.
    # Useful when the package gets updated and you already went through the trouble of customizing your
    # config options. NOT recommended when a new kernel is released, but again, convenient for package bumps.

    @Allan - can you see any other potential down sides of implementing the patch suggested by nous?  What about dependency issues?  For example, nvidia-ck depends on kernel26-ck, not kernel26-ck-core2.  Perhaps circumvent this with a provides=('kernel26-ck-headers') for headers and provides=('kernel26-ck') for the main package?

  • PKGBUILD for custom kernel issue

    Hi all,
    Last night I was putting together a PKGBUILD for a kernel I'd like to compile that has the ck patchset, grsecurity (latest testing), and had broadcom-wl on it already so I don't have to keep reinstalling it from AUR and doing depmod each time as it keeps making me have to find an ethernet cable. I used the kerne26 Arch PKGBUILD as a base and included parts of kernel-netbook for broadcom-wl, kernel26-grsecurity, and kernel26-ck and altered name variables and links etc so it all works and all sources are downloaded. I also got the two .patch files (semaphore and something else) from the kernel-netbook tarball to build the thing with, I don't know if it would work without them.
    However when I get into the build() a few patches are applied before I get messages about patches already applied or reversed, and then it says build failed because of an error, I can't tell which package is causing thins or why (it all goes by too fast, and the error says failed without reason, and the reversed patch messages are what is immediately previous to it). I have not yet gone all the way through the pkgbuild - especially towards the end, and I felt that the standard setup of init file system creation and such were ok, and if anything does need altering about it, I can deal with it once I get these first troubles solved.
    Below is my pkgbuild so far. Hopefully there are people out there who can aid me with this.
    Thanks,
    Ben.

    Thank you. I guess trying the abs method wouldn't hurt. My main issue was configuration. I've only just skimmed the PKGBUILD so I'm not aware of how it handles it. I suppose I could write my own as described in the wiki as well. Thanks again.
    Edit: Further research has revealed to me that the kernel headers are merely there for when the full source tree isn't. Seeing as the full tree is present in my case, the headers are unnecessary. I may take graysky's advice though and use pacman to manage my kernel.

  • [SOLVED] Radeon HD 6310 on AMD E350 APU

    I currently have a Raspberry PI running as a download/XBMC server with Arch Linux ARM connected to a TV through HDMI. This worked well so far, but I wanted to take some load off the RPi and bought an AMD E350 APU with an integrated Radeon HD 6310 GPU. Unfortunately, I'm not getting the video/audio out to work properly with Arch Linux x86_64.
    Here is what I have done so far (reboots between appropriate steps):
    Followed the Beginners' guide as for any other install.
    Installed alsa-utils, mesa, mesa-demos, xorg-[server, server-utils, xinit], and created a user and added the user to the "audio,video" groups.
    Installed the open source "xf86-video-ati" driver, added "radeon" to my MODULES array, found no other modesetting options, regenerated initramfs, and added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for good measure. I also added "radeon.audio=1" to my kernel parameters and regenerated the GRUB config file.
    With that setup, I tested the sound with the following:
    # aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    # aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
    Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
    # speaker-test -c 2
    Playback device is default
    Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
    Using 16 octaves of pink noise
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
    where the aplay command didn't return an error, but also did not play any sound. Note that a test to the analogue sound did in fact work.
    In addition to the sound not working, I wanted to test if the video will work with XBMC with
    # glxinfo
    Error: unable to open display
    Thinking that maybe something went wrong, I reinstalled most of the above mentioned packages to no avail, and also checked that the "radeon" module was loaded, which it was. I then uninstalled the open source driver, removed "radeon" and "radeon.audio=1" from the appropriate files and regenerated GRUB and initramfs.
    Next I decided to try the proprietary driver (reboots between appropriate steps):
    Added the Vi0l0 [xorg114] and [catalyst] repositories
    Installed xorg-related packes, catalyst-[hook, utils, libgl] and checked that "fglrx" was added and blacklisted "radeon".
    Ran "aticonfig --initial" and checked the file.
    Testing if the display works after verifying that the module loaded with lsmod:
    # fglrxinfo
    Error: unable to open display (null)
    At this point I started to doubt the drivers working with the hardware, so I booted up with a live openSUSE 13.1 USB (kernel 3.11) with the "radeon.audio=1" option enabled. Testing the display here (cropped):
    # glxinfo
    name of display: :0
    display: :0 screen: 0
    direct rendering: Yes
    seems to work fine, along with HDMI audio.
    I have then clean installed Arch again, reinstalled mesa, xorg and xf86-video-ati and re-added all the parameters and such. Also tried some random things like adding "amd64_agp" to the modules, "radeon.pcie_gen2=0" to the kernel parameters in any attempt to get it to work, but nothing has yet.
    At this point I'm stuck. Any help in getting this to work will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello andy123, thanks for the response.
    As far as I know, I do not believe the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file is necessary, but I tested the system with and without it. The current contents is just
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    As you mentioned, I would also prefer using the open source driver as I've often read and heard that it has better support than Catalyst.
    Regarding the groups, I did in fact test the system with and without my user being in the video and audio groups. I do not start Xserver explicitly in a desktop environment, but rather just test for an available display via glxinfo. This test works well, as XBMC does the same check to see if OpenGL support is available, will not run if it is not available and prints the same error as glxinfo. No Xorg logs are available in /var/log/, maybe because it does not even begin to start due to lack of display.
    The analogue channel is unmuted, and the default HDMI channel does not show a 'Master' or any other channel for that matter except S/PDIF. From a friend I've heard that this is correct, as the HDMI volume can not be set like this. The alsamixer UI is the same as on the openSUSE live disk, which worked fine.
    I haven't installed XBMC on the new installation again, but will do so now and see if that forces X to write some logs.
