Hello
I have just built and uploaded to my personal website a new release of
the packages for the fglrx drivers intended to be used on EL7 systems.
As before, they were all built in the usual elrepo infrastructure but
since I cannot test myself, I am not yet convinced they are in the shape
required for packages pushed to the repos.
Those willing to test are kindly invited to download the relevant
packages (at least fglrx-x11-drv-15.11-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm and
kmod-fglrx-15.11-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm ) from http://wdl.lug.ro/fglrx/ .
Should you encounter an apparent freeze of the X server while it tries
to start up, please
a) make sure that you did disable glamor ( if this is needed, yum will
tell you to do it at install time). If stock glamor is active it WILL
freeze your machine
b) manually move out of way the file
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so and restart X
There are no src.rpm available for now but the spec files that were
used to create them are available via ElRepo's github repository.
As always relevant logs are eagerly awaited together with any bug report
I am looking forward for feedback.
Regards,
wolfy
