DarkFoss Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi everyone, If you have an ATI graphics card please vote for the following bugzilla. http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=28094 Issues are : The ATI drivers provided with the 2007 Powerpack edition (i586) are incomplete. (8.28.8-2mdv2007.0 ) The following items are missing/not being created at all. In /usr/bin 1.aticonfig 2.flg-glxgears (pbuffer test) 3.fglrxinfo 4.fglrx_xgamma 5.fireglcontrolpanel soft link points to /usr/sbin fireglcontrolpanel in /usr/sbin 1.fireglcontrol 2. fireglcontrolpanel softlink points to fireglcontrol This leaves everyone unable to create a custom duel-head configuration. Both initially no aticonfig and no control panel to make gui adjustments. There is also no way to run the pbuffer test without fgl_glxgears. The same problem exists with the script provided by Mandriva that is being packaged with the drivers on ATI's site. If you use the --buildpackage command to create a Mandriva rpm the same items listed will be missing. ./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg Package Maintainer(s): Arnaud Patard <apatard@mandriva.com> Status: Verified Mandriva Packages: Mandriva/2006 Mandriva/2007 Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kayann Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks to your (I assume) posting elsewhere I learnt of this bug and it answered why I was never able to run 'aticonfig' etc with the ATI drivers supplied in the PowerPack DVD. I know the point of your post was to alert people to the bug and to vote for it, but to help those of us with this issue perhaps you could have mentioned that the PLF version of these drivers are fine. I uninstalled the PowerPack ones and installed the PLF ones and now they stuff is there (though I haven't checked as thoroughly as your list).

DarkFoss Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hmm I guess your right I probably should have mentioned PLF.. Also the MDE versions install with everything as well.. Althought one of the files is switched. I was more concerned about Mandriva becoming aware of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
