fglrx halts on Radeon HD 3850

ii fglrx-control 1:8-3+2.6.24.12-14.32 Control panel for the ATI graphics accelerators
ii xorg-driver-fglrx 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-14.32 Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators

Installing the driver from the amd site results in the same bug.

Next stop: radeonhd. Looks like the git version has support for dual link DVI :-)

radeonhd works :-)

Does this counts as a fix?

I have the same issue with the AGP version of this card (black screen and system hang). radeonhd does work just fine (of course no 2d or 3d acceleration) , in fact that's about the only driver that even 1/2 way works! But I am actually able to load X if I blacklist the blacklist amd64_agp and agpgart modules. Granted then my DRI won't load and performance in 2D is worse than radeonhd. I think I'm getting there but still needs some help.

Is this the same problem as this bug:

Hi rafael-espindola,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.

I don't know. I downloaded a new version of the open source driver.
Since it has support for dual link dvi, I am happy with it.
