ATI Prop. Drivers - config problem:

Hey all,
First off, I'm a new Arch user, coming off a basic Gentoo install - like the forums here - everyone seems very helpful!
Pleased with how setting up Arch is going - basic desktop install. I'm having problems though with the ATI drivers. I'm trying to get the proprietary driverrs working, and having problems running the aticonfig program. Here's the problem:
[root@myhost X11]# aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-0
*** glibc detected *** aticonfig: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xbfe10c25 ***
Then it prints a backtrace and memory map and aborts:

Tried hwd -xa, here's the xorg.conf it generated. Didn't work - went to black, blank screen when it went to KDM at startup. Thoughts? Did I do something wrong changing the driver? I modprobe'd fglrx, I get no output - normal?

[SOLVED]Problem installing ATI catalyst drivers

Hello arch users, ive been having trouble when installing the ati proprietary drivers through pacman. I followed the wiki and added the catalyst repo into my pacman.conf file. however when i type in sudo pacman -Syu i get this:

and when i try to install catalyst and catalyst-utils i get this as an output:

any idea on what to do?
i want to use the proprietary over the open source because it gives me less problems when using 3d rendering.
or are there any other ways of installing these packages other than pacman?

You could add 'SigLevel = Never' under the catalyst repo in pacman.conf, so that it doesn't check for package integrity.
And about the 404, maybe your 'Server' is incorrect. I use 'Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch'

Can't Install ATI Video Drivers on Bootcamp with Windows 7 64-bit

I've just installed Windows 7 64-bit under Bootcamp but can't seem to get any ATI Graphics drivers to install. I ran into the common blank-screen problem during installation and temporarily solved that by deleting atikmdag.sys from within Lion. At the moment W7 runs with 640x800 resolution (pretty chunky on a 27" screen!). The ATI Catalyst software just doesn't run at all (i.e click on it and nothing happens). I've used DriverSweeper to force remove all drivers and start again but every time I reboot, Windows automatically reinstalls the default driver that seems to be causing the problem in the first place!
For reference, here are iMac specs:
iMac 27" w/ OS X Lion 10.7.2
2.8Ghz Intel Core i7
4GB 1067Mhz DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
Any ideas?
Thanks

ATI Radeon X1600 GPU problem

I purchased a MacBook Pro with an ATI Radeon X1600 GPU in 2006. Several weeks ago the GPU failed and I was advised that a replacement logic board was needed and this would cost upwards of £500 by various Apple authorised repair centres that I contacted.
The system is not worth £500 in working condition.
It appears that I am not the only one that has found this issue, long after the warranty on the system had expired. In addition a number of people have began on online petition to raise awareness of the situation.
Several months ago a more recent MacBook Pro (circa 2008) with an NVIDIA GPU failed and I was able to have the logic board replaced for free as this was a known fault, even though my system was out of warranty.
I was very annoyed to find that the hardware defect in ATI GPU's has not resulted in the same replacement program. I therefore had to pay an engineer to attempt to fix the system through a component level repair, which failed. My 4 year old system that cost me a lot of money is now dead.
I expected a lot more longevity from this system, and I am sorely disappointed. I am feeling a little ripped off.
I am the current of owner of a iPhone 4 (2010), MacBook Pro 13" (2010), iMac (2010), iPhone 3G (2008), MacBook Pro 15" (2008) and one dead MacBook Pro 15" (2006).
As you can see I have spent a lot of money on Apple products and accessories, My very first purchase has now died due to ATI GPU failure and I have already replaced a logic board on a 2008 system due to an NVIDIA GPU failure.
I have never hesitated to recommend Apple products before, until now!
I'd like Apple to acknowledge this issue and offer customers with the faulty hardware replacement logic boards, I'd expect Apple to recover this cost from ATI who manufactured the faulty hardware.
I hope that this post serves to raise awareness of the issue and prompts an appropriate response.
Thanks for reading.
Dave.

Your instructions basically work because you're deleting the ATI display drivers, so OS X defaults to no hardware acceleration. In the very long "display anomalies" thread to which you linked, this seems to be related as a pretty common solution.
This is not a solution IMO. It's basically telling your computer not to use the built-in video card for much more than a frame buffer. Why is this a bad thing? Well, while it eliminates the anomalies and inevitable freezing, it also makes your computer unusable for anything requiring hardware acceleration (which is a lot of things these days, including 3d games and HD video playback, though the latter can still work albeit more slowly).
You claim that the problem is due to bugs in the ATI driver, but there are two issues with that theory: 1. the problem also happens under Windows via Boot Camp, using several different versions of ATI's Catalyst drivers that support the R500 family (which the X1600 is a member of); and 2. these sorts of anomalies tend to be usually indicative of hardware failure. For example, the nvidia 8800 series famously had similar issues (more and more graphical anomalies followed by eventual lock-ups), which were ultimately caused by hardware failure relating from many heat cycles.
In this case, the thing that seems closest to the truth to me came in a forum post over at the WoW forums (see the last post, by member "Flloyd"):
Flloyd's post
(Linking to the Google cache because the original seems to have been deleted.)
Quoting the relevant part here:
"There has been a lot of discussion an Apple forums and other forums about these issues with the Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) version 1.1 MBPs with the x1600 GPU. The general consensus is that it is definitely a hardware problem and someone mentioned that Apple knows internally that it is an issue with the solder connection between BGA packages and the main board. These machines came out right around when manufacturers were just starting to become ROHS compliant, (the standard that forbids the use of solder containing lead in electronics,) and so it is not surprising to me, (having dealt with some similar issues from the point of view of the manufacturer at work,) that these problems are happening. The lead-free solder is much more brittle than the old kind and solder joints that crack after many thermal cycles are a common problem that everyone trying to use the lead-free solder has had to confront. That being said, Apple still needs to fix this, because anyone who bought one of these would have had no expectation of this kind of failure and many would have bought something else if they knew this was a possibility."
Thus, the little BGA solder balls become worse over time, and when heated enough (i.e. when the GPU load becomes great enough for long enough, which is when people usually report the problems to occur at first), may start to get a bad connection to the logic board, as a result of thermal expansion or lower conductivity or a combination of things.
Now, I'm not 100% sure that this is the answer, but it seems most plausible to me. The other common explanation for this is that the thermal paste is applied unevenly on the GPU, or that the thermal paste gets old. However, while people report getting fewer anomalies after re-applying thermal paste, the problems usually stick around and once again start to get worse over time. My theory here is that while re-applying thermal paste helps with lowering GPU temps and lowering the frequency of the symptoms, it doesn't solve the underlying issue. You can get the same effect (lower GPU temps) by downloading and using the Fan Control preference pane or downloading and using the smcFanControl application to increase fan speed. Like re-applying thermal paste, this would decrease GPU temps (and thus incidence of graphical anomalies and eventual lock-ups), but not eliminate the problem.
It's sad that Apple doesn't (and likely won't) acknowledge this problem as a hardware defect. As far as I know, the issue manifests itself only after several years of use, which is when warranty (even AppleCare) has run out. Those who are lucky enough to have had the Macbook under warranty when symptoms first appeared just had their logic boards replaced for free, and later reported the same problems appearing after a few years with the new logic boards (which predictably contained the same hardware flaw). As I've said before, I'm not 100% confident in this particular explanation, but I am 100% confident that it's a hardware issue.
So nowadays, people generally have the choice of either buying a new laptop or forking over $300-600 for a new or used logic board to extend the life of the Macbook for a few more years, which would inevitably fail again. There is hope though: the aforementioned nvidia cards (the GeForce 8800 series) with the hardware flaw were eventually recalled and replaced for free, but a lot of people have reported resurrecting their dead cards using this unorthodox method:
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1421792
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1553073
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1470144
The same method also worked for people with different failing cards (even built-in laptop GPUs, such as we are talking about here), and not just the GeForce 8800 series. I might try this out in a week or so and see if it works for me and report back. I just don't know if it's worth it -- this is my primary work laptop and I can't afford to have to mess around with getting a new one in the middle of the school year if it dies in the process. Not to mention the fact that while the problem certainly is annoying, since I have to save my work every few minutes in anticipation of the computer locking up, it's certainly not critical.

Probs with ATI Catalysts Drivers

I’m currently using ATI Catalyst Drivers 6.14.10.6404 (3.9) for my ATI Radeon 9600xt.
If I upgrade to the latest ATI or Omega Drivers (4.7 I think), my card crashes and is very unstable.
my current graphics settings are:
enabled VPU recover
fast write is on
AGPx8
Why does 3.9 work and 4.7 not work, I have only had this problem since changing to this board.
Any help appreciated.

Well I hope it works for you engrrowl! I was installing a slipstreamed version of XP with SP2. But that sure didn't help me. I would randomly have my screen corrupt with my 9700. And that stupid card has given me headaches since I got an LCD. So driver incompatibility used to make my screen go black all the time. It would then revert to normal (maybe!). But there were many times I had to shutdown by the keyboard and disconnect the DVI cable to get it to work again. And the LCD is a Samsung so it's not cheap.
I broke down the other night and when I had to reinstall WinXP from scratch I reverted to an older GF4. This morning I ordered a Geforce 6800, and it will "upgrade" fine. But if I tried to go from an ATI to an Nvidia I would have had to reload my OS again. So it worked out for me.
But it's strange that switching video cards solved all my "issues". That and the fact that I've never really like ATI's drivers means I will never get another of their cards.

I'm setting Bootcamp 3.2 on my iMac 27", OSX 10.6 machine - but my ATI Graphic Drivers installation is failing.
i get the message: "setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system., Setup will now exit."

IMac Intel Core Duo and ATI Video Drivers

I was wondering if the latest ATI Catalyst drivers are compatible with the X1600 that comes in the Intel Core DUO iMacs. I wasn't sure if the driver needed to come from apple or not

Nope. The latest Catalyst drivers 6.X are not compatible with the iMac vid card. You need the driver on the disc that Bootcamp install creates. It's a ver 8.x driver made especially for our Radeon Mobility x1600's.

Audio Config" problem after upgrading to 7.6

I have only had my ipod one week. It is working beautifully. My problem is that I can no longer charge it or add songs to it because I can not open itunes. The previous version worked beautifully on my computer. After I upgraded to 7.6, it stopped working and I get an Audio Config. problem everytime I try to open it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program but it does not help. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

I have had my ipod a few weeks - but have nothing but problems letting itunes run the syncing, sometime it works and sometimes it does not. I had to reset my ipod 2 times already just to keep song on here, should have gone with Zune or Sonys (what my wife has) they are not having a single issue...
I would like to add my voice to his - I upgraded to 7.6, it stopped working and I get an Audio Config. problem everytime I try to open it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program but it does not help. What do I need to do to fix this problem ! ! ! ! ?

27in iMac (late 2009) ATI 4850 drivers problem in Windows 7

This iMac is less than a month old. Windows 7 was working fine until a couple of days ago. While at the Windows 7 desktop the screen pixlated and froze. A tip bubble appeared in the notification bar that said the ATI driver quit but was recovered. The screen went black then restored itself. A moment later the whole thing occurred again. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Thanks for any help.

BANDING AND DRIVER CRASHING SOLVED:
I bought the following iMac on April 18, 2010 to run Windows 7 and Autodesk REVIT 2011.
27" iMac (Late 2009)
Intel Core i7, quad-core, 2.8GHz
8GB (4x2GB) memory
1TB Hard Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB Display Adapter
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple BootCamp with Windows 7 Ultimate
Installed OSX, downloaded and installed all updates.
Installed BootCamp 3.1
Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and had the problem of the black screen during install. This was solved with the fix from apple support (copy latest drivers to a flash drive and continue to install windows). This resulted in apple windows driver 8.681.0.0 and the 16 bit color with banding. Rolled back the driver to 8.661.0.0. The banding issue was solved, but then had intermittent crashing (reset of the driver) in Chrome and REVIT 2011. This driver caused yellow "dots", then lockup and generally would reset. Very disruptive to REVIT.
SOLUTION:
Went to ATI website and downloaded Catalyst 10.4, then manually installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 display driver version 8.723.0.0. This display driver has 32 bit color, does NOT exhibit the color banding and has not had screen flicker, driver resets, or crashing in any programs run so far. I use this computer only for Autodesk REVIT 2011. The ATI HD 4850 is not officially supported by Autodesk, but I am able to run REVIT 2011 with hardware acceleration and anti-aliasing with no problems. So far that has been only for one day, but was not able to go more than a few minutes with the previous drivers.
I have not run any speed benchmarks yet, but compared to my Windows 32 bit XP machine, the performance is much improved.

ATI Radeon drivers problems (both open-source and proprietary)

Hi 2 All!!
I have a problem with my ATI Radeon 9000-series. The open source drivers (xf86-video-ati) don't work very good for me, my monitor's fresh rate isn't "at-top" and the monitor projection is slightly translated to the right (say 8-12 pixels). So I've tried to build the official drivers with ABS, all is gone successfully, except for some worrying warnings, but I thought that it's normal. I have a customized kernel, build through ABS... So, when I've tried to load the fglrx module it says:
# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory
Please, help me! My machine is slow, I can't run any OpenGL-accelerated application, even Quake III!!! If you can suggest me how to improve the performance and how to resolve problems with open-source drivers, it also would be very good... Thank you and sorry for my poor English please.

I had some problems with installing ATI drivers recently (could not build fglrx module, not even manually, I had to change some installation script), but with latest driver version (8.11 I think) from ati.amd.com was everything fine (I have Radeon 9600 Pro)
Try to do this (and write here the output)
glxinfo | grep vendor
fglrxinfo
In both cases, it should write something like OpenGL...: ATI... if there will be MESA or DRI, that means that you don't have loaded your fglrx module.
If fglrxinfo output will be something like: no permission for...(should be first or second line of the output), then write this somewhere in your xorg.conf:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
run:
modprobe -a fglrx - and give here the output. If there will be none, run:
lsmod | grep fglrx - to see wheter fglrx module is really loaded in kernel
if you will have no module, you can install one, type:
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
sh make.sh
cd ../
sh make_install.sh (as root)
and post any warning or error here at forum, drivers (but not fglrx module) are installed at /usr/share/ati
After installing drivers, you also need to configure your system (notice your system that it's there), commands:
aticonfig --initial (for editing your xorg.conf)
aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv (acceleration support in xorg.conf)
Showing your xorg.conf file here is also good idea, here is mine (sections Device and Screen):

ATI drivers config - help

Hi!
I am Arch user still and I please for one ''fish'' more.
Today I reinstall ARCH (testing repo is now commented). I want to install ATI drivers. I know that they have aticonfig now. I did on Xorg 7.0 but I had a problem with fglrx - didn't work.
My card is Radeon 9000 (r250). For Xorg 6.8 and Mesa drivers works fine.
Could someone who has the same card help me, please with his/her xorg.conf.
Thanks in advance,

Problems with Ati Propietary drivers, Yaourt

Im an ubuntu refugee and a nub-zilla i will try to include as much information as possible and hope fuly get some help. Thanks in advance!
Arch x86_64
I am attempting to install the propietary ati drivers using yaourt from aur
I have base and base-devel installed (notsure if that matters)
to find it i issed th command: yaourt catalyst-utils
the first option is the one i attempt to install
yaourt -S /aur/catalyst-utils 9.8-1
everything goes smoothly until the very end

any suggestions as to how to get this working would be amazingly helpful, im such a nub that im not sure which part of all of this information is useful
anyway thanks again!

I have another problem. I install everything properly, reboot my system and dmesg shows fglrx has loaded fine (added it to rc.conf). But when I startx my monitor is left black and my system unresponsive. Cannot get a log for this attempt of x session (not even with startx > xlog). And following the wiki does not solve my problem (it says to delete /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.

[SOLVED]Xorg.conf, mouse config problem

The Rapoo M765 mouse can not work properly under normal mouse configuration.
The mouse goes beyond controll when config as below:
hacksign@XSign [14:13:13] : ~
>> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "Mouse2"
# MatchProduct "RAPOO RAPOO 2.4G Remote Mouse"
# MatchIsPointer "yes"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "mouse"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
# Option "Buttons" "7"
# Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
#EndSection
When there is no any configuration, the mouse can work abnormally. Movement and right/left click work fine, but I can not use scroll wheel,and the "go forward"&"go backward" mouse key can not work too.
(I know Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is the configuration of scroll wheel emulation.)
The real problem is 'mouse beyond controll',the cursor goes crazyly on screen ....
I guess it is something wrong of ButtonMapping option. But when I tried to get button number from command xev,when scroll wheel scrolles, I get something below(the scroll wheel movement is identified as a key event~):

Thanks for reply !
change Driver 'mouse' to Driver 'evdev',solved cursor goes beyond controll problem.
but I still can not use scroll button and 'go forward'&'go backward' button.
(BTW:evdev_drv.so is from local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint, and local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint package is from AUR)
I think, maybe something wrong with my button number mapping, but I still can not get scroll button number with 'xev' command....

olive wrote:In the config file you mentioned, all is commented; do you mean that you have problems when you have uncommented it? You should not use the mouse driver (old deprecated driver) but evdev. Try to remove xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard (same as before, this is deprecated and handled by evdev) and remove also a "joystick" driver if you have it (I have had problem with it conflicting with the evdev driver).

HOW TO: Install LATEST ATI CATALYST drivers

So ATI/AMD doesn't consistently update the "BootCamp" drivers and as a gamer I want utmost performance out of what I have (of course without OCing). Therefore, I went searching for a solution and found it and I will explain it here, step by step. Forgive me if this has already been posted. Note that I did this in XP and NOT Vista.
1. Download the latest CATALYST drivers from here:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
2. Open the driver software as if you were going to install it and let it extract to its default directory. Take note of what that directory is as you will need to know that file path for later. Once it extracts it will move on to an installation. Stop/cancel the installation the first chance you get.
3. REMOVE your currently installed ATI drivers. There are two ways to do this:
-1. If you downloaded the actually CATALYST Software Suite, there will be a program in the folder to where it extracted called "AtiCimUn" that will remove your drivers.
-2. Google "remove ATI drivers" and I think it's the first link that tells you a detailed step by step method of removing the drivers.
4. Restart after successfully removing the drivers.
5. Download MobilityModder here: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
-If you scroll closer to the bottom of that page, there will be a download link AND instructions for the PROPER method of installing MobilityModder.
6. Run MobilityModder
7. Browse to the directory where the drivers are installed.
8. Click "Modify"
9. When the modification is complete, close MobilityModder and Right Click on "My Computer" then click on Properties
10. Click the "Hardware" tab
11. Click on Device Manager
12. At least one device should have a yellow circle with a black question mark in it. For me, Windows saw it as a "VGA Controller". Right click it and click "Update Drivers"
13. It will ask you some stuff about if you want Windows Update to look for drivers, say "No not this time" and click next
14. Select "Install from a list or specific location{Advanced) and click next
15. Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install"
16. Click on the "Have Disk" button
17. Browse to the folder where the ATI drivers were extracted to (MobilityModder will have rewritten the modified files to the same location)
18. The specific file you are looking for is a Configuration file whose icon looks like a white notepad with a yellowish cog that has some metal rod going through it. Click on it and click "open"
19. At this point Windows should recognize which card you have specifically, if not, it will have the entire list of cards that driver can update. If you run into that, just find it in the list.
20. Let windows copy the files, if it tells you that the drivers are not digitally signed, say "continue anyway". It's just an effect of the MobilityModder modifying the files and since it doesn't have a certificate, it's not considered signed.
21. When it's done click finish.
22. Restart
23. Happy new drivers
I'm thinking you might be able to skip the MobilityModder part and just skip straight to directing Windows right to where the drivers are instead of having to mod the files. I'm not sure if it works because I haven't done it but you're welcome to try. If it doesn't work it just means you have to use MobilityModder.
I hope this helps.

Update: After using the method described above the drivers did install successfully however, when I loaded some games I noticed that they did not take up the whole screen. No amount of changing the resolution solved the problem.
So I completely removed the drivers and loaded unmodified drivers. I had to find my x1600 from the list and there were actually two but I just took the first one. I let Windows copy the files after warning that it can't confirm they were for my hardware. After a restart I tried my games again and they were taking up the whole screen as they did when I had BootCamps outdated drivers.
So I can say that you CAN skip steps 5-9 (the steps for the mobility modding). You'll just have to find your drivers and some of them do show up multiple times. I'm probably going to try the other x1600 listing just to see what happens. I'm not sure if there's a difference between the same listings (mine was Radeon x1600 followed by another Radeon x1600) but I'm assuming there is or else ATI would put so many >.<

StartX Failing With ATI Proprietary Drivers

I have installed the catalyst legacy drivers, but cannot figure out why they are not working.
