[SOLVED] Fedora 17 Kernel 3.5 AMD/ATI legacy not detected after kernel upgrade

Berox · #1 9th August 2012, 02:09 PM

So I updated Fedora 17 64-bits kernel to version 3.5 but he doesn't recognize my graphics card neither 32 and 64 bits libraries causing not to let me use gnome3 and of course run 3D programs. Everything else seems to work fine. What must I do?

My specs are:

CPU:
Intel® Core™ i5-450M
Clock speed : 2.40 / 2.66 Turbo GHz
Front Side Bus : 1,066 MHz
cache level 3 : 3 MB

RAM:
standard : 4,096 (2,048 + 2,048) MB
Technology : DDR3 RAM (1,066 MHz)

Graphics Card:
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5145 com HyperMemory™
memory : 512 MB VRAM dedicated
type of memory : DDR3 Video RAM
conetor bus : PCI Express®

I'm using 12.6 amd beta drivers. Thanks for any help in advance.

Did you rebuild them ?
Did you try the open or non-beta's ?

lspci -nnk fo rthe driver please.
Any dmesg messages ?
If you've got a drive claiming the device then what is in the Xorg logs ?

I reinstall the beta driver (after testing with open source driver which function properly and then test the non beta drivers which lead me to this particular case I have posted on the forums http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=282785). When i finish installation of the beta ones i enter:

Code:

sudo aticonfig --initial
Found fglrx primary device section
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-4

and it seems to work well but then i reboot and gnome3 is gone and Fedora 17 can't identify my 32 and 64 bits libs when i open playonlinux...and the system is pretty slow like this obviously..no messages. On my xorg.conf and xorg.conf.fglrx-0 xorg.conf.fglrx-1 xorg.conf.fglrx-2 xorg.conf.fglrx-3 xorg.conf.fglrx-4 xorg.conf.fglrx-5 i have this:

Code:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

I have 9 logs (xorg.0.log, xorg.1.log, etc) but i cant put it here since it is soooo long.

When i enter the comand you ask me to enter it appears this:

Where did you get the ati driver?, if the answer is ati it wont wont with 3.4 (requires patch) or 3.5 (requires 2 patches) kernels.

Really

? I have no idea, I was following the tutorial here in the forums for the non beta drivers (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503) they didn't mention the patch xD (probably because that was an old post and fedora didn't have this kernels, silly me xD). I'm looking it up on google but can't find anything..where can i get the patchs for ati driver 12.6 on 3.5 kernel? Thanks in advance

I have already patched the rpmfusion kmod-catalyst packages.

According to your output your card is a HD4xxx so it is unsupported by the 12.6 driver ( you need the 12.6 legacy driver instead which hasn't been packaged yet by rpmfusion).

Well it's suposed to be a HD 5145 but yeah it's basically a HD4xxx overclocked -.-" i new this will be giving me headaches in the near future

guilt on me for not paying attencion to my intuition. So in the near future there will be a legacy package right? xD

I rebuild the two packages

Code:

rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-legacy-12.6-0.1.fc17.src.rpm 
rpmbuild --rebuild catalyst-legacy-kmod-12.6-0.1.fc17.src.rpm

All went well no errors

I installed the drivers again after rebuilding the mesa-libGL

Code:

sudo yum kmod-catalyst

but same problem. I download Yum extender so i can see all the packages and I found this one

Installed it but still same error no ati adapters found

They aren't the legacy packages, you need to remove them and install the results of the rpmbuild.

eg:

1. akmod-catalyst-legacy
2. xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-legacy-libs
3. xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-legacy

Ok so i can't find the drivers in yum extended, so i was looking for them in my computer and found them in the rpmbuild folder which is located in /home/ricardo/ and I found the drivers..but neither of them work they always say that they miss something. For example I tried build them with command line and this is what i got:

Code:

[ricardo@Ricardo-L650 x86_64]$ rpmbuild --rebuild kmod-catalyst-legacy-3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64-12.6-0.1.fc17.x86_64.rpm
Installing kmod-catalyst-legacy-3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64-12.6-0.1.fc17.x86_64.rpm
error: source package expected, binary found
error: kmod-catalyst-legacy-3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64-12.6-0.1.fc17.x86_64.rpm cannot be installed

Then i tried normally by double-clicking on the packages and then click on install and when he is resolving the dependencies he says "kmod-catalyst-legacy-3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64-12.6-0.1.fc17.x86_64 requires catalyst-legacy-kmod-common >= 12.6"

I look for that one in yum and couldn't find them

It worked! I see I was using the wrong command for the instalation of the packages. Thanks a lot!

By the way after this playonlinux does recognize 64 bits libraries but doesn't recognize 32 bit (I'm using Fedora 17 64-bits), there is any package with the 32bits libraries like in Debian? Because I don't know exactly which packages needed to be installed.
