need help with ati radeon install
I'm getting. does anyone have any ideas? looks like the fglrx build is failing for some reason.

You're providing zero information.
Please post the output of inxi -dx install instructions: smxi.org/site/install.htm#inxi For full graphics support, requires packages: X11-utils x11-xserver-utils mesa-utiils Install those, install inxi, then show me here: inxi -dx so I don't have to go step by step to get this information. After that, run: sgfxi and paste, using something like pastebin.com then paste the link, the file: /var/log/sgfxi/sgfxi.log Once we have some idea of a base system and the actual problem, ie, we've undone all the stuff you probably already tried, which sgfxi will or should do automatically, then I can help you.

oh yeah the vid card is showing as a 256 meg but don't know if that matters should be 1g

you have some dkms garbage in there, I don't deal with it except to have sgfxi try to dump it, but I see in sgfxi I have this comment in that section:
:: Code :: # this should in theory all be gone but not necessarily in fact
# note that fglrx isn't working well here at all... clean_dkms() { Since I refuse to deal with dkms in my own free time, you'll have to figure out why it failed to get removed, what extra steps sgfxi needs to take to purge fglrx dkms totally from the system, and so on. You can check first to see if this directory exists: /var/lib/dkms/fglrx which it should not, since otherwise the sgfxi log would show it does, and it would have been removed. Then you have to find out where else that dkms contamination has spread to the system and see what is making fglrx think that dkms is installed. Or does the package now install it? the run package that is? I don't see how it could but maybe it changed. see here: :: Code :: cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.85/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=2.6.38-2-6 86 --norootcheck....(bad exit status: 1)dkms is some badly hacked, nasty stuff, so I'd be curious to see where this cruft is being called from in the system. I'm going to assume an exit error is caused by the directories not being there, but I have no idea what is running the dkms command in the first place, and I am not going to spend my time learning about dkms weirdnesses on the fglrx driver, that's two bad things connected, not a good way to spend my time. But if you figure it out and post the step by step solution I'll try to script that into sgfxi for future reference and help for future users. Back to top |

Just for kicks, try this: sgfxi -d
that will remove all the stuff then install the debian drivers, see if that works. Other than that I can't say, I found many other error reports with exactly your issue, and I'm assuming that ati/amd screwed something up again in their programming and installer, as usual. Back to top |

being a noob I went and
apt-get purge dkms now when I run it I get a bit further it looks like :: Code :: 1 [Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.

I'm guessing you have some old garbage in there, left over from a previous fglrx install, and it's trying to install an old fglrx to a new kernel, which of course fails. That's a guess, that's all I can say.

based on bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618834
it looks like they took out the big lock in 2.6.37 and i'm going to need to build it with the big lock enabled or use Ubuntu's... don't suppose you can help me with doing that? Back to top |

ah, that's part of it. However, you can just install the liquorix kernel, it works.
That lock thing isn't forced in until 2.6.39 in all kernels I believe. I'm not into patching or whatever with kernels, it's not my thing. However, I did a test and there was NO dkms module built, so that's another issue, dkms cruft, I believe though I'm not certain that your system is trying to build the old driver onto a new kernel.

The kernel is old because the grub didn't update right when I changed the system, sigh... so I couldn't boot into the real 2.6.38, don't feel like debugging that now, but you see that the driver is not at all similar to what it is in yours, and there is no dkms nonsense present. And it works, I should add. Back to top |
