------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey all,

building ubuntu 12.04 lts server job;
our needs require have gui, decided go gnome-shell since it's darn pretty. problem support ati cards seems moving more towards wasteland each successive release of ubuntu...
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/radeondriver - not helpful in way, although @ least attempts document situation...

our server hp proliant dl380 g7, , lspci reports:
code:
 $ lspci -vv | grep -e "vga.*controller" 01:03.0 vga compatible controller: advanced micro devices [amd] nee ati es1000 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [vga controller])
using "preferred" method of self, automagic configuration, i'm getting dropped proverbial "there problem display" message several not-very-helpful options, after lightdm comes up, before i'm granted greeter.


here's i've done far metamorphosize ubuntu server-minimal 1 gui:
code:
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gnome-shell $ sudo update-rc.d lightdm defaults $ sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop network-manager $ sudo telinit 6     <broked> $ grep -e "\(ee\)" < /var/log/xorg.0.log     (ww) warning, (ee) error, (ni) not implemented, (??) unknown. [    17.328] (ee) failed load module "fglrx" (module not exist, 0) [    17.433] (ee) failed load module "fglrx" (module not exist, 0) [    17.947] (ee) aiglx error: calling driver entry point failed [    17.947] (ee) aiglx: reverting software rendering
funny that... reading ubuntu documentation above thought 12.04 prefers open source radeon driver , *not* fglrx..?
let's force use "radeon" crafting quick n' dirty /etc/x11/xorg.conf:
code:
$ cat xorg.conf section "serverlayout"     identifier     "single head configuration"     screen      0  "screen0" 0 0     inputdevice    "keyboard0" "corekeyboard" endsection  section "inputdevice"     identifier  "keyboard0"     driver      "kbd"        option    "xkblayout" "us" endsection  section "device"     identifier  "videocard0"     driver      "radeon" endsection  section "screen"     identifier "screen0"     device     "videocard0"     defaultdepth     24     subsection "display"         viewport   0 0         depth    24     endsubsection endsection $ sudo telinit 6 $ grep -e "\(ee\)" < /var/log/xorg.0.log     (ww) warning, (ee) error, (ni) not implemented, (??) unknown. [    15.292] (ee) aiglx error: calling driver entry point failed [    15.292] (ee) aiglx: reverting software rendering
no beans.
hmm... maybe fglrx way go...?

code:
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx $ cat /etc/x11/xorg.conf section "serverlayout"     identifier     "single head configuration"     screen      0  "screen0" 0 0     inputdevice    "keyboard0" "corekeyboard" endsection  section "inputdevice"     identifier  "keyboard0"     driver      "kbd"        option    "xkblayout" "us" endsection  section "device"     identifier  "videocard0"     driver      "fglrx" endsection  section "screen"     identifier "screen0"     device     "videocard0"     defaultdepth     24     subsection "display"         viewport   0 0         depth    24     endsubsection endsection $ grep -e "\(ee\)" < /var/log/xorg.0.log     (ww) warning, (ee) error, (ni) not implemented, (??) unknown. [   217.205] (ee) no supported amd display adapters found [   217.205] (ee) no devices detected. [   217.211] (ee) no supported amd display adapters found [   217.380] (ee) glx error: can not required symbols.
mreow... have ideas?

not sure ati wasteland think ubuntu moving to, must unfamiliar blatant , public display of affection between canonical , amd/ati every fourth , tenth month.

es1000 no longer supported ati in linux.
