http://askubuntu.com – I'd like to know the version of fglrx installed in my Ubuntu 10.04.3 box. I'm not familiar with fglrx, so I found several ways by Google. 1 cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep fglrx [...] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx (II) fglrx(0): Version: 8.72.11 (II) fglrx(0): Date: Apr 8 2010 (II) fglrx(0): Desc: ATI FireGL DRM kernel module (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version matches driver.

Ati x300 & Suse 11.2 3 years 25 weeks ago

Hi! I know, that configuration of my PC is too old, but now I don`t to be going exchange it.

I want to use the open source Radeon driver for Ubuntu, but currently I'm using fglrx.

So, I went ahead and purged fglrx using sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* and when I rebooted and ran sudo lshw -c video, I still see driver=fglrx_pci. I've followed the instructions here.

I'm not sure why I can't completely purge fglrx, is anyone else experiencing this?

So I tried installing the latest catalyst and had problems as it would not DKMS with /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/9.012/build/firegl_public.c and found 2 patches which fixed the problem.

Hi Everybody,

Please HELP! I have a problem with installation of ATI radeon driver. After installation i'm running "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx", the configuration failed and at the end of /var/log/SaX.log I have:

(II) LoadModule: "fglrx" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/fglrx_drv.so

I have a problem with my sound card, that it won't play sound through it's own speakers. So i figured I need to install a new kernel, which I did.

We need some more information to help you:It seems like the fglrx-module cannot be found. The wiki article describes many ways of installing/using fglrx, which one did you choose?
