I moved to Fedora from Ubuntu because of various concerns with that particular distribution, back in Ubuntu I just used the drivers from amd's site and they worked perfectly, I just had to uninstall and reinstall them on a kernel update. Doing some research I found out about kmod-catalyst and how that could help me with my problem and also it could help me avoid all that uninstalling and reinstalling on kernel updates. So I installed kmod-catalyst from rpm-fusion, rebooted, same thing again. I tried following various tutorials I found on the internet, such as this one http://www.sohailriaz.com/how-to-ins...-in-fedora-18/ , with no different result other than screwing-up my kernel, so I had t

I tried booting again, which still worked fine, but after a while, the screen froze again. After that, booting failed entirely or gave me strange visible graphical artefacts on the screen before freezing. Messages read: [drm[...]] *ERROR* UVD not responding [...] [drm[...]] *ERROR* error initialising UVD I managed to boot stable again using the kernel parameter nomodeset, which afaik prevents the radeon drivers from loading and uses minimal graphics mode only - messages: [drm] VGACON disable radeon kernel modesetting. [drm:radeon_init] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=293090 *ERROR* No UMS support in radeon module! This issue only occurs on one particular laptop (Dell Precision M6600, Radeon HD 6850) and across multiple Fedora instances (also a F21 one). So I assume something is wrong with the graphics card (hardware). Things I tired to resolve: Checked GPU temperatures. Very low. tried kernel parameters: radeon.dpm=0, radeon.hard_reset=1 Unfortunately there seems to be no way to disable the UVD (radeon.no_uvd https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/68701/radeon-uvd-seemingly-defunct/ was discussed but does not work). Does anyone have suggestions what I could try to resolve this?

Dell technician replaced the graphics card. Works fine again. Remark: Dell BIOS (A15) Diagnostics only showed the error after running the optional "thorough" test!

← Installing RGtk2 on Red Hat EnterpriseLinux FedUp: Upgrading to Fedora 21 with the KDESpin → Installing the Proprietary AMD Catalyst 14.9 (fglrx) Driver on Fedora 20 (with kernel3.17!) Posted on November 13, 2014 by bitwiseoperator Update See the next post https://bluehatrecord.wordpress.com/2014/11/13/installing-the-proprietary-amd-catalyst-14-9-fglrx-driver-on-fedora-20-with-kernel-3-17/ in the series for comments regarding the installation process for the Catalyst 14.12 driver on Fedora 20 with kernel 3.17. The steps are roughly identical (the only real change being the version designation of the driver from 14.301 to 14.501), so the below process is still complete. Initial Shout-Outs Special thanks are deserved by Gil, who pointed this issue out when he encountered it with the 32 bit version of the kernel, error module and Duane (of local fame), who resolved it through a slightly different method from that which I offer below. I would also like to acknowledge vukas, who pointed me towards an unofficial AMD Bugzilla listing for this issue. Thanks to everyone for making this blog into a genuinely collaborative effort to keep the little issues from preventing wider use of the great Fedora operating system! =) Problem So, with kernel 3.17.2-200.fc20.x86_64, attempts error module radeon to install the latest AMD Catalyst driver (14.9) fail, throwing the following error: DKMS part of installation failed. Please refer to /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for details Solution As with the previous installation guide for the Catalyst 14.4 driver and kernel, we now find ourselves again in need of a patch. The issue appears to have been diagnosed by Philm of the Manjaro team, who notes that the struct ‘acpi_device_flags' has no member named ‘no_hotplug'. This is a problem for the kcl_acpi.c file which attempts to set the no_hotplug member to ‘true'. If I had noticed that Philm offered a patch in that very post, I wouldn't have constructed my own, but here's my patch for the issue: 3.17_kernel.patch Just download that (and remove the final .doc extension if it bothers you - I just did that to get WordPress to allow me to upload it) and follow the below steps to install the latest AMD Catalyst 14.9 driver on Fedora 20 using the latest kernel (3.17.2-200.fc20.x86_64 at the time of writing): Prerequisites: There are two major prerequisites for the AMD Catalyst 14.9 driver on Fedora 20. The first is to meet the package requirements, and the second is to run a desktop environment other than GNOME (I use KDE).
