[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#631680: [fglrx-driver] X can't find fglrx module

[john terragon]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 11-6-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Right after an "apt-get -t experimental install fglrx-driver fglrx-control..." etc to get the newest 11-6, X doesn't seem to find the fglrx
driver anymore (I'm assuming it's the glx driver, since the fglrx kernel
module is regularly loaded). Here's the snippet from the Xorg.log


[    24.917] (II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
[    24.961] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx
[    24.961] (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
[    24.961] (II) Unloading fglrx
[    24.961] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
[    24.961] (EE) No drivers available.

Also, I thought that the use of glx-alternative-fglrx glx-alternative-mesa 
etc for the diversions was done so that one could switch between fglrx and mesa with an update-alternatives. However all I get from 
update-alternatives --list glx is "mesa-diverted" instead of the two alternatives (as opposed to, say, update-alternatives --list gnome-www-browser where I get epiphany-browser and iceweasel as alternatives).

Best
John

Please attach the file: 
  /tmp/reportbug-ng-fglrx-driver-fiEGz0.txt 
to the mail. I'd do it myself if the output wasn't too long to handle.

  Thank you!
