fucking with fglrx
July 21, 2009 at 11:04 | Posted in Adventures | Leave a commentTags: ati, fglrx, xorg.conf
I’m going to first attempt to revise my xorg.conf by appending this line:
Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
in order to fix my issues with the computer locking up when I play video with the fglrx driver.
If that fails, I am going to upgrade from
# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8087 Release
to “ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run”.
Let’s go <3
edit– success! the appended line wins <3
switching between ati and fglrx graphics drivers

Firstly, save two extra copies of your xorg.conf. Configure one to use the ati driver, and save it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ati, and configure the other to use the fglrx driver and save it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx.
For switching to the ATI driver:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Putting ATI driver in use..."
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ati /etc/X11/xorg.conf
killall X
For switching to the fglrx driver:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Putting fglrx driver in use..."
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
killall X
And then after either of these, you’d have to start up x again. (startx)
For determining which driver is in use:
#/bin/sh
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | grep ati | grep -v ^#
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | grep fglrx | grep -v ^#
