module fglrx not found please help

[travica77]

Hello.
i'm upgrading my system and then installed new kernel 4.3... after reboot computer wont start. I log in to my shell and startx it show this:
modprobe:Fatal: Module fglrx not found. fglrx: No matching device section for instance BUSID PCI: 0@0:1:1) found

my graphics card is: advance micro devices AMD/ATI Kaveri Radeon R5

according to my search that module is only in sid repository so far. you may have to get it from there.

You should be able to boot to your old kernel if you haven't deleted it yet .

hm but in sid repo is acual the same drive as in testing. here is my log xorg.

Please help. Kernel 4.3.0.1 and fglrx not found. Any solution.

[kc1di]

from what I can tell here about kernel 4.3 , it no longer uses the fglrx module, but AMD driver is supposed to be resident in the kernel it self. however others have been having problems getting it to work also.  The only solution I know at the moment is to revert back to kernel 4.2 until it's gets patched or fixed.
The 4.3 kernel driver is working fine on my machine with an Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 7310]

good luck .

[travica77]

Ok, thanks.
how to revert back to 4.2 kernel

[paxmark1]

To get a previous kernel that you have not deleted, reboot and then you can get it via the grub splash page - probably under "Advanced Options for Sparky Linux"  I presently have 4.3.0-1 and 4.2.0-1.  4.1 has been deleted via my usage of autoremove.  fwiw I always keep one older kernel. 

btw - did you install inxi as kc1di suggested.  It is a good tool.
