fglrx error in linux mint

Software darktable
1

Hi all!
I compiled and installed darktable 2.0.7 on Linux Mint 17.3 (that doesn’t support 2.4.x).
It was all working until I changed the kernel, from 3.13.0-37 to 4.4.0-109. After the change, I get this error
when I execute the application:

[defaults] found a 64-bit system with 8113332 kb ram and 4 cores (0 atom based)
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:809 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='fglrx'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'fglrx': Function not implemented
Error: Fail to load fglrx kernel module!

I tried to recompile and reinstall the application, but the result is the same. I have no error during compilation.
What can I do?
Thanks

Your new kernel appears not to have the AMD driver module.

is ancient, just like

which is officially dead for some time now.

  • Go back to
  • Fully upgrade to something less legacy that does support
  • Drop fglrx. mesa works just fine for years now.
    If your card is not too old (if it is, then there is not much use of opencl anyway), you may try amdgpu and even get the opencl support.

How? Some compilation option? Or execution option?

The same way you installed it, i suppose; hopefully via package manager.
There is nothing dt-specific in that.

Thanks, I didn’t understand that fglrx is a video driver! I’ll install amdgpu.
