[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#538658: ia32-fglrx-glx: needs 32-bit fglrx_dri.so to work, but no package provides it

[Török Edwin]

Package: fglrx-glx
Version: 1:9-6-4
Severity: important

Hi,

I installed 9.6-4 on amd64, and ia32-apt-get install ia32-fglrx-glx.
Everything works fine for 64-bit apps (using linux kernel 2.6.30.1),
however there is no HW accel for 32-bit apps:

libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.62.4 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL error: dlopen fglrx_dri.so failed
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.62.4 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL error: dlopen fglrx_dri.so failed
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
server glx vendor string: ATI

It looks like it needs fglrx_dri.so which is in the fglrx-driver package, however there is no ia32-fglrx-driver:
# ia32-apt-get install ia32-fglrx-driver
Reading package lists... Done

E: Couldn't find package ia32-fglrx-driver

I have temporarily worked around this problem by copying a 32-bit fglrx_dri.so from my 32-bit chroot:
sudo cp /home/edwin/sid-ia32/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib32/dri/

Then the 32-bit apps have HW accel again.
Could fglrx_dri.so be shipped in the ia32-fglrx-glx package, or some other package so that it is
installable on a 64-bit system?

This seems to be caused by a fix for bug #537958, previously I was able to install
9.6-3's fglrx-glx-ia32 by editing the debian control file, and removing the ia32-libs deps, and rebuilding the package.
Then I did have HW accel for 32-bit apps by just installing the fglrx-glx-ia32 package.
