[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#645625: Bug#645625: fglrx-driver: hangs on startx, using X.Org Foundation libglx.so

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi,

where does this in your xorg.conf come from?

Section "Files"
        ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions"
        ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Delete that block and move everything back to its original location.
That should fix your issue.

I don't think you need to do the debugging I described here:

That is the libglx.so link we want to have.

The linux directory should be searched before extensions ...

Cruft left over from using ATI's installer previously, but should be
harmless.

If you delete the link - does it work? It should pick up linux/libglx.so

And renaming that back to its original name should not break anything.


But can you try the following from a console or ssh login in the
problematic configuration of the system:

stop X and your display manager, e.g. gdm/gdm3/kdm/xdm
(invoke-rc.d gdm stop)

  strace -o /tmp/x-strace.out /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 & sleep 30 ; pkill -x X

(this starts X while collecting debug information, and terminates it
again after 30 seconds)

save /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere

start X again (invoke-rc.d gdm start)

and send me the saved Xorg.0.log, /tmp/x-strace.out (better
gzip/bzip2/xz this), /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I need to understand why its picking the wrong file libglx.so.
