Slightly boring …

Image via WikipediaYesterday i dist-upgraded my ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 and just after that i noticed that the machine doesn’t resume from suspend-to-RAM. The next thing i noticed is xine crash just after start with a segfault. That brought me to try glxinfo which crashed too.

My conclusion was, “Damn ATI and their borken drivers!”, so i tried to install it mannully. After dozens of retries i have chosen the right solution:

- $ sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source

- $ sudo dkms uninstall -m fglrx -v 8.476

- $ sudo dkms remove -m fglrx -v 8.476 –all

- $ sudo apt-get remove dkms

- $ sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run (install it without creating packages)

- $  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

And enjoy…

Ah … and BTW, it seem to fix the resume from suspend problem…
