Problem:
- After running ati-driver-installer-X-X.run, the X-Server failed to start.
Solution:
- Read log file at /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
- Install the fglrx kernel module by running the following script: /lib/modules/fglrx/make_install.sh
- If this does not work, you can restore the previous settings by running aticonfig --initial -f as root
Note:
If the ATI driver fails to install after a system update of Debian, this may be caused by a function rename. The following workaround could help:
- Run the installer ati-driver-installer-X-X.run
- Go to the directory /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/
- Edit line 196 of the file kcl_ioctl.c from
return compat_alloc_user_space(size);
to
return arch_compat_alloc_user_space(size);
- Run the script make.sh out of this directory to build the fglrx kernel module
- Install the fglrx kernel module by running the following script: /lib/modules/fglrx/make_install.sh
