Nor do I, so the next best thing is to google. If you look for 'drm_parse_option' you'll get quite a few hits with error-messages similar to the above.
AFAICT, the "*ERROR* "locked-userpages" is not a valid option" message seems to be from the DRM part of the kernel, but I haven't found the actual code yet.
I'm going to make a wild guess and suggest you add the following line
Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"
to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Section "Device" which contains
Driver "fglrx"
It really is just a hunch, and I have no ideas what it might or might not do. I'll try it out myself in a bit.
Ouch! Thanks for doing my Googling for me. I could have shown a bit more initiative there, I think. The first thing to say is that the option was already in my xorg.conf file, with a value of 0. i tried it with a value of 1. No luck. Same error. So I tried it with the option commented out. Would you believe it still comes back with the same error? You'd be right. glxgears doesn't change either, regardless of the configuration. One thing I did notice from hitting Google was that Compiz got mentioned a few times. I'm going to try uninstalling compiz then reinstalling the drivers and see if I have any more luck. If that works, I might then try reinstalling Compiz to see what effect it has. That'll be tomorrow's job, though. My birthday!
Not to worry Peter - it's a challenge, bit of a way to relax from the daily run-o-the-mill stuff :-)
You can say that again. I've spent all week porting a program from Visual Basic, and I reckon I've got another week to go. I hated VB before I got this job. I hate it with a passion now. I did get one laugh, though. The standard of the coding throughout is pretty poor, but this variable declaration hit the G-Spot for me: Dim bool As Integer Comedy gold, as they say. I'll let you know how I get on. And if you should think of anything else ...
