This bug only shows in conjunction with the kernel images version 2.6.10-11 and
above. Downgrading to kernel image version 2.6.10-10 solves the problem, so it
seems to be a problem with linux-image-2.6.10-2? See
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8993&page=4&pp=10 for more details.
My system: Acer Ferrari 3400 laptop with Radeon Mobility 9700 and Ubuntu Hoary
AMD64 with all recent updates.

Bleh. Does http://people.ubuntu.com/~daniels/fglrx.ko work for you with the
newer kernels?

Got the same error here.

That module doesn't work.

Like me, that module produce the same errors.

Hi Daniel,

no need to test it with the fglrx.ko you linked to in you message: It's the same
as the one I've got installed from the latest restricted modules (version
2.6.10.3-3) - I checked the md5sum of the two files for equality. As I said,
this fglrx.ko doesn't work with kernel image version 2.6.10-11 and version
2.6.10-11. Sorry to disappoint you...

Typo above: ...kernel image version 2.6.10-11 and version
2.6.10-12... Sorry!

I see this aswell. Shouldn't this one be signed against linux-image and Fabbione?

I should try to recompile the kernel when I got time.
Lot's of studies right now. I'll probably find some time in the weekend.

*** Bug 12661 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Just installed linux-image-2.6.11-1 and tried to compile the fglrx module.To
compile the fglrx module with kernel 2.6.11, a patch is needed (see
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1333473014&postcount=42). I modified
the patch to work with fglrx-kernel-source_8.8.25-0ubuntu5 (see
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=69192&postcount=6) and compiled the
fglrx module successfully. But when loading the module, the same error as with
linux-image-2.6.10-11 and above occurs: "[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR*
Unable to the open some already present DRM kernel module!".
The only way to get rid of this error seems to recompile the kernel and compile
DRM as a module (as suggested in
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=60795&postcount=47). Sorry, but I had
no time to try this out. Perhaps later...

Problem found: In the kernel-images before 2.6.10-11, the drm-core was built
into the specific driver modules (like radeon.ko, etc.). This means when you
set CONFIG_DRM=y in these kernels, no extra drm kernel module was built.
Starting with the kernel-images 2.6.10-11 and above the drm core functions have
been moved from the driver modules to a drm-core module. If you set CONFIG_DRM=y
in the newer kernels, a drm-core module is built into the kernel and all drivers
not aware of this architecture change don't work any more.
This is the case with the fglrx driver and the cause of the error message. To
solve this problem, please set CONFIG_DRM=m as the default for all newer kernel
images as suggested by Tristan in
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=60795&postcount=47.

Can we please get this done in the next round of kernel updating?

> Can we please get this done in the next round of kernel updating?

Even though Fabio says otherwise, I believe he should be involved with this as
owner of the linux-image package. Does it really make a difference to anybody
that CONFIG_DRM is set as a module instead of compiled in ?
DRM doesn't really matter until the X server is loaded.

Anybody ?

DRM has been built as a module since 2.6.10-19. This could probably be closed now.

Running Hoary array 7, I cannot get 3d fglrx to run properly. I have installed the fglrx restricted
modules on my AMD64 laptop. However, I still cannot get 3D acceleration. 'fglrxinfo' tells me:
"Xlib: extension "Xfree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect"

Do I need to run commands to install the ATI drivers or are they automatically downloaded and
installed when I use synaptic to get them?
