Fwd: FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.11.231005/misc/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted



Dear Flavio,

the problem mentioned in my previous post (please see forwarded message
below) was mine own and quite trivial. I had modified XF86Config-4 but not 
xorg.conf (6.8.2 reads xorg.conf and not XF86Config-4) and I had a "radeon" 
entry in my /etc/modules.

After replacing "radeon" with "fglrx" in /etc/modules and copying XF86Config-4 
to xorg.conf I can successfully use the ATI driver.

Thanks a lot for the excellent work and for the detailed documentation !

The only problem which is left is resume after suspend (alias Fn-F4, sleep).
At resume the system completely freezes. This is quite annoying since I 
systematically use suspend. Fn-F3 and all other hotkeys work perfectly.

If you know how to circumvent the problem, please let me know.

ciao,
Nicola

Hello,

I am new to fglrx.

I have installed the packages and built with the supplied make.sh script
according to section 4.1 of Flavio's instructions on an IBM T41p with a
 custom kernel 2.6.11 and Debian 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 20050908031534. My
kernel options fulfill Flavio's recommandations of section 2.1.1. I have
installed the kernel module.

At this point modprobe fglrx reports:

root at lt28b:~# modprobe fglrx

I cannot fing fglrx related entries in dmesg. Here is the lsmod output:

I have nevertheless modified XF86Config-4 according to section 5 and
stopped / restarted the X server from a virtual console. Here is the outcome
of fglrxinfo:

root at lt28b:~# fglrxinfo
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

so I guess there is some problem here. Any idea what the problem could be and
how to solve it ?

best regards,
Nicola
