Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:9-2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After doing a dist-upgrade a couple of days ago in which
linux-image-2.6.30 was installed, the fglrx driver stopped working. I
could no longer get into X. Removing and reinstalling the driver
under the kernel didn't help.

Because the open source ATI drivers don't work, I'm left with the
vesa driver as the only method for running X.

I've also tried the installation method at
http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-install-ati-fglrx-driver-in-debian.html/comment-page-1#comment-3543


but it fails during the driver install while trying to overwrite
libglx.so - and no amount of trying has let me get around the error.
Even if libglx.so is removed, I still can't overwrite it!
??

We are _not_ supporting the debs resulted by the ati installer!

On Debian just do (but be sure to remove everything from your old
installation):

# apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-source module-assisstant
# m-a a-i fglrx

And that was it.

You misunderstood. It was the Debian packages I was having the problem
with. If you re-read my e-mail, I only tried the ATI installer because
the Debian packages didn't work.

The process you list fails, It gives the following log:

/usr/bin/make  -f debian/rules clean
   ..........
make: *** [kdist_image] Error 2
Yes, known.

Give 9-8-1 a try.

Is that the SID package? If so, it wants to replace my xserver. How
stable is the one in SID?

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
xserver-xorg-video-all

Upgrade the following packages:
libxi6 [2:1.1.4-1 (now) -> 2:1.2.1-2 (unstable)]
xserver-xorg-input-evdev [1:2.0.8-1 (now) -> 1:2.2.4-1 (unstable)]

xserver-xorg-video-radeon [1:6.9.0-1+lenny4 (now) -> 1:6.12.2-3 (unstable)]

Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
fglrx-glx recommends ia32-fglrx-glx
fglrx-glx recommends ia32-apt-get
fglrx-atieventsd recommends fglrx-driver (= 1:9-2-2)
Score is -568

Yes fglrx is not allowed to migrate to testing atm because of
xserver-xorg >:

there are some options..:

1) wait until everything is migrated
2) switch to unstable
3) backport it, you have to modify debian/rules and control, I haven't
got the time for it atm, sorry.

Thanks anyway. I tried the SID version, including upgrading xorg, and things didn't work out very well. Had some trouble getting back to Squeeze, but finally got my desktop back.

I'm back to the ATI drivers using their installer but will probably switch back to vesa again. ATI leaves some stuff in the session startup that killed my desktop session right after the gdm login, so I had to reinstall their driver to get back to my desktop.
