AMD-ATI driver a bit help needed

[fruc]

Hi, this is my first post here (i was recomended to come here by md5decrypter forum)
so here it goes:

As you might know The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) linux 3.12 (as well as other Debian distros) are having serious trouble with the current Catalyst 13.251 installation as it doesn't even compile.


I managed to fix that (That patch can now be found anywhere)

Code:

--- kcl_acpi.c +++ kcl_acpi.c @@ -995,7 +995,11 @@ #endif { return KCL_ACPI_ERROR; - } + } +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,9,1) + ((acpi_tbl_table_handler)handler)(hdr); +#else ((acpi_table_handler)handler)(hdr); +#endif return KCL_ACPI_OK; }

But that wasn't enough. I kept getting this "deprecated" messages (that i know is not an error its self but still anoying)

Fixed that to by doing an (if im in the unpacked installation directory

Code:

echo 5 > ./packages/Debian/dists/etch/compat echo 5 > ./packages/Debian/dists/experimental/compat echo 5 > ./packages/Debian/dists/lenny/compat echo 5 > ./packages/Debian/dists/sid/compat

When i did that i figured there was a serious mistake in the Xorg server as The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali)(mine at least)
had both the X11 and the X11R6 which means serious mistakes are going to happened

i fixed that as well

Code:

ln -s /usr/bin/X11 /usr/X11R6/bin ln -s /usr/lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib64/X11

After that i still kept getting errors ...
Missing directories here , there just catastophic errors.
I dig into 1500 lines of code that brought me to ./ati-packager in debian distro which was probably just copied from the old version of drivers. So the errors were kinda like this one

Code:

cp: cannot stat `/home/My_name/Tools/AMD_Driver/fglrx-install.yX7BZQ/x710_64a/*': No such file or dir

Fixed it too ( if anyone is interested i can post the fixed code)

Then got into some serious mixed libraries..
one error is

Code:

error: couldn't find library libatiuki.so.1 needed by debian/fglrx-driver/usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libfglrxdrm.so

It can be fixed with no problem since i know there is a libatiuki.so.1.0 in the installation directory

Code:

# change dir untill in ./intallationdir/arch/x86_64/usr/lib64/ ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1 #change dir untill in ./intallationdir/arch/x86/usr/lib/ ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1

That fixed allot of problems but there are still some and im kinda tired and off to sleep.
the problem is

Code:

# previous code that probably succeded dh_install ldconfig -n usr/X11R6/lib/ dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/bin/fgl*" "usr/bin" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig" "usr/bin" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/sbin/atieventsd" "usr/sbin" dh_installman -pfglrx-driver "usr/share/man/man8/atieventsd.8" # amd64 needs some library redirection dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/*.so*" "usr/lib" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/dri" "usr/lib" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/linux" "usr/lib/xorg/modules" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/drivers" "usr/lib/xorg/modules" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/extensions" "usr/lib/xorg/modules" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/*.so" "usr/lib/xorg/modules" dh_install -pfglrx-driver "usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/*.a" "usr/lib/xorg/modules" dh_install: fglrx-driver missing files (usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/*.a), aborting make: *** [binary] Error 255 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 + EXIT_CODE=1 + rm -rf /tmp/fglrx.fyOOzM + rm -f /tmp/pkg_build.out + exit 1

this is the debug of the ati-packager.sh

So still somewhere the libraries are not all in order.
Probably some symlinking needed. Any ideas are more than welcome

Cheers,
