Talk:Problems with fglrx

Non-executable /tmp

When /tmp is mounted with the noexec option, the fglrx driver will produce an error similar to (this is from a T43p, the dots are some random looking numbers)

Exec failed for command "/tmp/firegl1...." (Permission Denied)

It doesn't seem to be fatal, but is anyone else getting these? Unfortunately it's not recorded in the Xorg logfile, it can only be seen when starting Xorg from the console.

BTW, when Xorg is already running (with /tmp executable) and I switch to tty1 and start another X session (with /tmp mounted noexec) mount -o remount,noexec /tmp xinit -- :14

Xorg locks hard, no way to get back into the console or zap Xorg with CTRL-ALT-BS, only thing that still works is syncing disks and resetting via sys-request shortcuts.
