Ben,
I tried the xlib.lock work around and it didn't make any difference with the fglrx issue. Neither fgl_glxgears or fglrxinfo are operational.

Also, 3D is gone for some unknown reason:

Sax then opens a dialog saying it cannot configure 3D because the card or driver doesn't support 3D. Bullshit! 3D worked just fine 1 hour ago with the 8.41 driver.
This is really strange. I'm going to try and rebuild the kernel modules and see if that help. Thanks for your great help. It is always much nicer to have a helping hand remind you that there is no reason to start throwing laptops.. Cooler heads will prevail!
Hey,
How did things go? Sorry, started updating my MythBox last night.. and that took alot longer then expected (Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10) and it broke my VNC and I don't have my router forwarding SSH :( .. So can't work on from here go get VNC working.. Oh well TV works fine :D

Here is where we are. After installing 8.42.3, I found that rpm -e of either the 8.40 or 8.41 driver failed to remove and replace the /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2* library with the new /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2* from 8.42. This was causing a conflict that borked fglrx. After fixing this by moving /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.old and then # ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 "J" (CyberOrg) was most helpful in pointing out that there may be other libGL conflicts. However, after make the above change, fgl_glxgears and fglrxinfo work as they are supposed to. Also, after looking for additional conflicts, I think I'm OK. (do you see anything else amiss) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/libGL_pkgs01.png http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/libGL_pkgs02.png However, the AIT control center (/usr/bin/amdcccle) still will NOT run. I haven't a clue what is causing this problem. As we spoke, the java error is still present: [root rankin-p35a/home/david] # /usr/bin/amdcccle amdcccle: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Aborted "export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true", eliminates the error, but the control center will not start and requires a ctrl+c to kill the process. Also, "aticonfig" will NOT run. I have posted my xorg.conf. If anyone can take a look and see if there is anything wrong, I would appreciate it. It is at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/xorg.conf J also has a very helpful blog for the new drivers: http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~cyberorg/2007/10/24/ati-8433-on-opensuse-the-h... The blog pointed out that I needed to edit xorg.conf and add: Option “AIGLX” “true” to "ServerFlags" and change the extensions: Section “Extensions Option “DAMAGE” “true” Option “Composite” “true” EndSection This is where I am. I have not loaded xorg 7.3 yet and I am still trying to get compiz working. "kwin" works like a dream, good 3D, frame rates, etc. My goal is NOT to have to reload 10.3! That shouldn't be necessary, and I don't want to kill 5 hours installing, patching and re-tweaking, even with the benefit of Yast autoinstall and simply saving and remounting /home. So I am back to my plea for HELP! Y'all have been great to help me get this far, and I'm confident I can make this work. Is the anything else I can send or post that might help get to the bottom of what is going on?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
