Problem with XBMC after installed ATI driver version: 8.542 (catalyst 8.10) - soder - 2008-10-18 I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on a GA-MA78GM-S2H. I installed the drivers using this guide, just like Ive done with 8.8 and 8.10. The manual version: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide I have XBMC beta 2 installed used this guide to install (link in swedish): http://www.xbmc.nu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=42&Itemid=40 I got normal picture on my tv and the ATI control center says I got the driver version: 8.542. BUT, now when I start XBMC, everything is a mess. I can see scroller in Aeon, but everything is fuzzy. Something is wrong. Is there anything I can do? I dont know how to reinstall without loosing my settings for remote, library and sources? /Söder - Hirs - 2008-10-18 That exactly turned me mad yesterday, only happens in fullscreen, I even built XBMC from svn, but it seems a problem with the ati driver, I finally installed the driver with envyng, and everything is ok now. I guess we will have to wait to the next ati driver release - soder - 2008-10-18 Hirs Wrote:That exactly turned me mad yesterday, only happens in fullscreen, I even built XBMC from svn, but it seems a problem with the ati driver, I finally installed the driver with envyng, and everything is ok now. What is envyng? alternative drivers? Maybe I need something else to, since I got a problem with underscan when using DVI-HDMI. Now I use VGA because of the underscan. /Söder - Chaos_666 - 2008-10-18 Hi there. Mine Catalyst 8.10 is running fine here. Using an Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI with Hardy Server. Did not test the AEON though but Mediastream works good.

BTW, where can I change the option for fullscreen editing a file? Can not change in XBMC... Never mind. I installed 8.9 again. I had to see a movie tonight. /Söder - Hirs - 2008-10-19 soder Wrote:What is envyng? alternative drivers? Maybe I need something else to, since I got a problem with underscan when using DVI-HDMI. It's a script for easily installing ati and nvidia drivers, it's in the hardy repositories: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html - Hirs - 2008-10-19 Chaos_666 Wrote:Hi there. I'm using exactly the same mother board and hardy server as well. Have you tried with the default pm3 hd skin? What resolution do you use? What window manager? - soder - 2008-10-19 Hirs Wrote:It's a script for easily installing ati and nvidia drivers, it's in the hardy repositories: I tried it, and didnt like it. The driver version I got with envy was only 8.50.3. 8.542 was in the newest 8.10 8.532 was 8.9 8.522 was 8.8 8.512 was 8.7 8.501 was 8.6 Guess the guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide works fine for me.. /Söder - Hirs - 2008-10-19 You are right, I'm using 8.9 right now Chaos_666, is there something special in your xorg.conf? - BLKMGK - 2008-10-19 Envy goes to the source to get it's driver update I think. If you got something other than the very latest driver using ENVY then something is wrong. Maybe try getting ENVY from the author directly vs a repository? http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html (yes says Nvidia but it's for both, read the page) - Chaos_666 - 2008-10-19 Hi there Quote:Chaos_666, is there something special in your xorg.conf?

Isnt 8.542 the latest version fron catalyst 8.10? /Söder - Chaos_666 - 2008-10-19 Hi there, not sure, took them from the official site (http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html) Edit: Just saw the the created .debs are named ...8.542...deb Do not know why dmesg wirtes 8.54.3 THX Chaos - soder - 2008-10-19 Chaos_666 Wrote:Hi there, Does someone understand how to install and try these drivers? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeonhd_122_123&num=1 Maybe they're better for me, solving my 100 % cpu when idle problem? /Söder - Hirs - 2008-10-20 Hi Chaos_666, If you execute xbmc from xinitrc you probably don't use wm (like me) I've tried your xorg.conf, still the same weird screen $ dmesg |grep "module loaded - fglrx" [ 24.766898] [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.53.4 [Sep 8 2008] with 1 minors May be is the resolution, but I cannot get more than 1280x1024. What refresh rate are you using? Are you using the vga output, right? |
