Problems with recent Fedora 19 catalyst driver update
I'm not sure if this is a packaging issue, or an issue with the driver
itself. I am using the recently released AMD catalyst 13.8-beta driver
for Fedora 19 (kernel 3.10.4-300).
The two issues are:
1) Something is pointing to the module in the wrong place
(/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so) instead of
/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so.
2) The permissions on /proc/ati/major seem to be incorrect.
See the output from glxinfo below:
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | head -5
