<p>Nuova release per i driver grafici Ati, che si portano così alla versione 9.02. Con tale uscita si è fatto qualche piccolo passo avanti nella visualizzazione dei video in Xv con un composite managere attivo, like Compiz. Però i passai fatti in avanti in tal direzione sono ancora troppo piccoli: adesso i video non sono più decentrati (come accadeva in precedenza) ma si hanno dei blocchi durante la riproduzione. Per quanto riguarda le prestazioni in generale, meglio andare indietro di qualche mese ed installare gli 8.12 se si ha molto a cuore le &#8220;prestazioni elevate&#8221;.</p>
<p>Detto ciò, non ci resta che sperare nella prossima uscita, con la speranza che la primavera ci porti qualcosa di funzionante.</p>

Ho appena letto dell&#8217;uscita dei nuovi driver ATI, gli 8.9, e senza neanche leggere changelog e prime impressioni mi sono messo ad installarli sulla mia Ubuntu 8.04 con kernel 2.6.26.
Disinstallo i vecchi driver (8.8)
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Ho appena letto dell&#8217;uscita dei <strong>nuovi driver ATI</strong>, gli <a href="http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html" target="_blank">8.9</a>, e senza neanche leggere changelog e prime impressioni mi sono messo ad installarli sulla mia Ubuntu 8.04 con kernel 2.6.26.</p>
<p>Disinstallo i vecchi driver (8.8)</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh</p></blockquote>
<p>quindi procedo con l&#8217;installazione dei nuovi</p>
<blockquote><p>chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8-9-x86.x86_64.run</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-9-x86.x86_64.run</p></blockquote>
<p>terminata l&#8217;installazione riavvio il computer.</p>
<p>La prima cosa che vado a controllare è che tutto sia andato bene, quindi <strong>fglrxinfo</strong> e <strong>ATI Catalyst Control Center</strong>.</p>
<p>l&#8217;output di <em>fglrxinfo</em> è ok</p>
<blockquote><p>jackyawa@jackyawa-laptop:~$ fglrxinfo<br />
display: :0.0  screen: 0<br />
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.<br />
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1700<br />
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7979 Release</p></blockquote>
<p>La sorpresa, che poi dovrebbe essere la normalità (<em>!!!</em>), la vedo aprendo il Catalyst Control Center: finalmente <strong>la dimensione della memoria è riconosciuta correttamente</strong> e mostra gli effettivi 256MByte della mia scheda video, contro i 128 mostrati da un paio di release ad oggi.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>AMD ha rilasciato i driver di agosto (8.8) per schede video ATI, di cui è possibile effettuare il download a questo <a href="https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run">link</a>.</p>
<p>Con questa release vengono introdotte molte novità più o meno interessanti, prima fra tutte, <strong>il kernel 2.6.26 è finalmente supportato</strong>, quindi niente più <a href="http://jackyaway.netsons.org/2008/07/16/kernel-2626-e-driver-ati-86-soluzione-per-ubuntu-debian/" target="_blank">patch</a>.</p>
<p>Le altre novità riguardano il supporto al <strong>CrossFireX</strong> per la serie HD4800; supporto all&#8217;<strong>antialiasing adattativo</strong>; <strong>Ati OverDrive e MultiView</strong> per le schede video abilitate; <strong>auto determinazione ed installazione</strong> del package specifico per la distribuzione linux in uso, con la possibilità di effettuare, grazie a Dryrun, un test per verificare che tutte le dipendenze siano installate.</p>
<p>Grazie al riconoscimento automatico del sistema operativo basterà scrivere <em><code>--</code>buildpkg</em> oppure <em><code>--</code>buildandinstallpkg</em> <strong>senza</strong>, come era necessario,<strong> </strong>aggiungere l&#8217;OS.</p>
<p>Per la verifica delle dipendenze va aggiunto <em>Dryrun</em> dopo <em><code>--</code>buildpkg</em> o <em><code>--</code>buildandinstallpkg</em>.</p>
<p>Il <a href="https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_88_linux.html#207896" target="_blank">changelog completo</a> dal sito ufficiale.</p>
<p><strong>Per installare i driver</strong> bisogna disinstallare eventuali versioni precedenti, per chi come me ha usato lo script kanotix, deve rimuovere i seguenti pacchetti</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo apt-get remove fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx</p></blockquote>
<p>assicurarsi di avere blacklistato il modulo fglrx</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>DISABLED_MODULES=&#8221;fglrx&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Installare le dipendenze</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)</p></blockquote>
<p>Assegnare i permessi di esecuzione all&#8217;installer Ati</p>
<blockquote><p>chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run</p></blockquote>
<p>quindi eseguire l&#8217;installer</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run</p></blockquote>
<p>alla fine dell&#8217;installazione riavviate il pc.</p>
<p>Se tutto è andato per il meglio, e credo proprio di si <img src='http://jackyaway.netsons.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>fglrxinfo</em> vi restituirà quanto segue</p>
<blockquote><p>display: :0.0  screen: 0<br />
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.<br />
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1700<br />
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7873 Release</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Update:</em> <strong>Adesso funziona anche con i driver Ati 8.7</strong></p>
<p>E&#8217; da poco uscita la versione stabile del kernel 2.6.26 e, come me, tanti lo hanno compilato ed installato sulla propria distribuzione Linux. C&#8217;è però un piccolo problema che riguarda i possessori di schede video Ati: <strong>i driver proprietari fglrx non vengono installati correttamente</strong>. L&#8217;errore riportato è</p>
<blockquote><p>Error!  Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.26-3-generic (i686)<br />
Consult the make.log in the build directory<br />
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.501/build/ for more information.<br />
Installing initial module</p>
<p>Error! Could not locate fglrx.ko for module fglrx in the DKMS tree.<br />
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.26-3-generic (i686) first.<br />
Done.</p></blockquote>
<p>oppure quest&#8217;altro</p>
<blockquote><p>DKMS part of installation failed.  Please refer to /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for details</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>La soluzione</strong> a questi errori (che possono verificarsi anche con i kernel 2.6.25) consiste nell&#8217;<strong>applicare una patch ai driver Ati</strong> in modo da renderli compatibili con il kernel 2.6.26 (o 2.6.25).</p>
<p><span id="more-93"></span><br />
A tal proposito ci da una mano uno <a href="http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh" target="_blank">script</a> che farà tutto al posto nostro, patch e installazione dei driver.</p>
<p>Una volta scaricato il file <strong>install-fglrx-debian.sh</strong> bisogna applicargli i giusti permessi per renderlo eseguibile</p>
<blockquote><p>chmod 755 install-fglrx-debian.sh</p></blockquote>
<p>Adesso, per proseguire, abbiamo bisogno della <strong>connessione internet attiva</strong> (per permettere allo script di scaricare i driver Ati), e di passare alla <strong>shell testuale</strong>.<br />
<em>Per passare alla shell testuale bisogna premere </em><strong>Ctrl+Alt+F1</strong>.</p>
<p>Da shell eseguiamo il nostro script</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo ./install-fglrx-debian.sh</p></blockquote>
<p>Se ricevete un errore relativo a Kanotix non preoccupatevi.</p>
<p>Lo script farà tutto da solo: scaricherà i driver, li patcherà (se necessario) per renderli compatibili con il nostro kernel, creerà i pacchetti deb e li installerà.</p>
<p>Terminata l&#8217;installazione riavviate il pc.</p>
<p>A questo punto verifichiamo che tutto sia andato bene con <strong>fglrxinfo</strong><br />
se l&#8217;output risulta come questo</p>
<blockquote><p>jackyawa@jackyawa-laptop:~$ fglrxinfo<br />
display: :0.0  screen: 0<br />
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.<br />
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1700<br />
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7659 Release</p></blockquote>
<p>i driver sono stati installati correttamente.</p>
<p>Se ricevete questo output</p>
<blockquote><p>fglrxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</p></blockquote>
<p>i driver sono installati correttamente ma bisogna <em>aggiustare</em> un collegamento, così</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1</p></blockquote>
<p>adesso, al comando <strong>fglrxinfo</strong> l&#8217;output sarà quello giusto.</p>
<p>Driver Ati installati&#8230;semplice! <img src='http://jackyaway.netsons.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>E&#8217; da poco stata rilasciata la <strong>versione 8.04</strong> dei driver proprietari <strong>ATI</strong>. Nel changelog riportato qui sotto si può notare il supporto alla prossima release di Ubuntu, <em>Hardy Heron</em>, e cosa molto più importante (se è quello che ho capito io <img src='http://jackyaway.netsons.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) la visualizzazione dei video con player che utilizzano l&#8217;estensione <em><strong>XVideo</strong></em> non mostrerà più colori sbagliati e, soprattutto, a schermo intero non verranno visualizzate ombre addizionali, per una visione più nitida delle immagini.</p>
<p><span id="more-68"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Li ho appena installati senza alcun problema, ormai la procedura di installazione sembra non creare più i fastidiosi problemi delle versioni precedenti.<br />
Ho cambiato la modalità di uscita dei video, nelle impostazioni di VLC, da X11 a XVideo ed il risultato è:<br />
1. Con <em>Compiz-Fusion</em> attivo il video lampeggia all&#8217;impazzata, quindi <em>bisogna tornare ad X11 e tenersi i video sgranati</em>.<br />
2. Con <em>Metacity</em> i video sono di <strong>qualità superiore</strong> rispetto a prima, soprattutto nella visualizzazione a schermo intero, video nitido e colori &#8220;<em>reali</em>&#8220;.</p></blockquote>
