[Bug 776543] Re: Xorg seg fault

[Wes W]

I am not sure if I should close this bug, but I downloaded and installed the catalyst driver from here - 
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English

The version number on that page was 11.5, after having it build packages
for natty, the following files were created -

fglrx_8.850-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-amdcccle_8.850-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-dev_8.850-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-installer_8.850-0ubuntu1_amd64.changes

After installing them, I am now able to launch X with 3d acceleration
sufficient for running unity!

The only reason that I am not closing this issue is that I am not sure
if maintainers are planning on moving to this new version of catalyst as
well. If the bug should be closed, let me know or just close it. Thanks
again guys!

Title:
  Xorg seg fault

Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I recently upgraded to natty narwhal and lost X. I have been using the
  OSS radeon driver in the meantime, but prior to the upgrade, I was
  happily using FGLRX via the ATI Catalyst Driver. After the upgrade, X
  wouldn't launch and there is a seg fault in the Xorg log file
  (attached). Any extra information can be provided as the crash is
  easily reproducable (for me).
