Operating Systems Linux Debian [Lenny] I seem to have broken X... Post 302481642 by Elric of Grans on Saturday 18th of December 2010 06:13:01 PM

I checked that page, but the issue it describes did not seem to be present. Using the information from it, however, I removed and reinstalled the fglrx packages (it said they contain the hacks necessary to ensure this is all correct). This made no difference.

I found this page describing the exact issue on Ubuntu. As per its suggestion, I downloaded the latest driver from ATI and tried to install. I attempted to make a deb, but the script failed on this (cp unable to stat /usr/X11R6/modules/linux error). I then just used the non-distro-specific install. This has allowed me to load X again, but things do not seem to be quite right.

If I attempt to verify the install worked:
Code:
$ fglrxinfo 
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  144 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  10
  Current serial number in output stream:  10

On the other hand, `ldd /usr/bin/fglrxinfo' seems to look correct. My window manager (pekwm) is now behaving *very* slowly when I move windows, and I cannot seem to play videos (mplayer). Well, I can play them and the audio stream works, but there is no video stream. Otherwise, X seems normal now (I am able to post this direct from my PC with Iceweasel).

EDIT:
Oh, I almost forgot. I tried to use `module-assistant a-i fglrx' too, but there is an error here too (which seems to be a known bug).

XErrorEvent(3)							  XLIB FUNCTIONS						    XErrorEvent(3)

NAME
XErrorEvent - X error event structure STRUCTURES
The XErrorEvent structure contains: typedef struct { int type; Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */ unsigned long serial;/* serial number of failed request */ unsigned char error_code;/* error code of failed request */ unsigned char request_code;/* Major op-code of failed request */ unsigned char minor_code;/* Minor op-code of failed request */ XID resourceid; /* resource id */ } XErrorEvent; When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows. The serial member is the number of requests, starting from one, sent over the network connection since it was opened. It is the number that was the value of NextRequest immediately before the failing call was made. The request_code member is a protocol request of the pro- cedure that failed, as defined in <X11/Xproto.h>. SEE ALSO
