Severity: normal

I help my brother upgrade Debian from 7.0 to sid (i686) which come with:

  Package: fglrx-driver
  Version: 1:14.12-1

After upgrading we run:

  $ sudo aticonfig --initial

to create xorg.conf with fglrx driver. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(EE) AIGLX error: failed to open /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so, error[/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

This file present on system, but on another location:

  $ ls -l /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 22 00:40 /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so -> ../i386-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_dri.so
  $ ls -l  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_dri.so
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38388704 Oct 22 00:41 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_dri.so

After:

  sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri  /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri
  ls  /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

we able to xinit  and error go away!

I suggest to extend search path to /usr/lib/dri/ to avoid such error.
