[SOLVED] fglrx problems in Ubuntu 10.04

Antongarou · 08-04-2010, 02:16 AM

I've been having two problems, one of which is quite definitely caused by the openGL library of fglrx:

1) when I try to load warzone 2100 I get a segmentation fault and according to the developers the game dump file contains the line:

#5 0x00670ef6 in XF86DRIQueryExtension () from /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1

which indicates something broken with fglrx.The game was running smoothly up to about a week ago.

2)When I try to configure my desktop using system settings the system settings application crashes with the crash report showing this line:
#6 0x035b7ef6 in XF86DRIQueryExtension () from /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1

which seems to have no meaningful difference from the warzone line problem. The whole bug report is :

Code:

Application: System Settings (systemsettings), signal: Segmentation fault

if it helps.

Does anyone know how I solve this problem?

Please show us the output of 'glxinfo' as well as your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.

glxinfo returns:

Code:

name of display: :0.0
Segmentation fault

since the log file is several hundred lines I attached it to this post rather then copy/paste it

adamk75 · 08-04-2010, 05:21 AM

Ummm.. Is there some reason you are using the fglrx drivers (which are for ATI/AMD GPUs) on an intel GPU? The open source intel drivers are installed by default and should have worked out-of-the-box.

because when I tried to run warzone2100 without it it gave me error codes telling it had no GLX- right now, after I removed the fglrx package family it gives me this error upon trying to run it from the terminal:

Code:

 
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  135 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  15
  Current serial number in output stream:  15

Any idea how I can repair this?

adamk75 · 08-04-2010, 06:18 AM

Show us your new /var/log/Xorg.0.log file now.

Adam

Antongarou · 08-04-2010, 06:45 AM

here it is. Sorry for not including it in the last post

adamk75 · 08-04-2010, 06:47 AM

You still seem to have fglrx at least partially installed:

Code:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."

What's the output of 'dpkg -l | grep fglrx' ?

Code:

rc  fglrx                                            2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4                              Video driver for the ATI graphics accelerato

I removed it via the synaptic package manager a few hours ago.

ETA: just checked and my synaptic has 'fglrx-modaliases' as recommended.

I'm really unsure why Xorg would be picking up libglx from such a non-standard location. I suggest removing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, or at least renaming it, to see if there's something in there that's causing this problem.

Now the game runs well, but I get a warning that my system doesn't support OpenGL 1.5 and 2.0- any chance of fixing that or is OpenGL simply something my hardware is unable to support?

adamk75 · 08-05-2010, 08:22 AM

I don't know enough about the hardware, but it's quite possible that it doesn't support anything newer than opengl 1.3 or 1.4.

Antongarou · 08-05-2010, 10:45 AM

OK, thanks for all the help.
