Bug Description
Running up-to-date Kubuntu 10.04 (as of April 6, 2010 @ 1930 EST) on AMD 64bit hardware with ATI Radeon HD 4800.
Hardware Drivers states proprietary ATI driver is enabled.
However:
- fglrxinfo causes a segmentation fault
- amdcccle brings up a dialog saying "There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you [sic] ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
- System Settings -> Desktop crashes with a segmentation fault (Signal 11). However, compositing is disabled.
My take on this is that the fglrx driver is not functioning properly.
Logs show the following outputs:
----
[17065.978712] fglrxinfo[17776]: segfault at 4 ip 00007ffa6351211e sp 00007fff8fbe40a0 error 4 in libGL.so.
----
[17072.028058] fglrxinfo[17783]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f39d03e411e sp 00007fff5e31b200 error 4 in libGL.so.
----
Please let me know of any other information that might be helpful in identifying the root of this problem.

I think this sounds like the same problem as I was seeing until my playing this morning.
Previously my fglrxinfo would SIGSEGV like you are talking about. Along with the segfault I would get errors about config files missing. I tried the aticonfig --initial and it would also fail.
The output of my fglrxinfo is:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.2.9737 Compatibility Profile Context
Previously the fglrxinfo was complaining that no devices exist and that the file /etc/ait/control was not found. I copied the /etc/ati/
I also did an sudo aticontrol --initial. Not sure if this is the right thing but it basically put my display parameters into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
After a reboot, my installation was running in a limited graphics mode and the last error that I had was saying that my /etc/ati/
The only side effect right now is that I have a AMD Testing use only graphic in the lower right corner of my screen. I would assume that will go away once the final release of Lucid is out.
