Hi all, I have been trying to get RViz working on my new workstation since a couple of days without any success. RViz crashes with Segmentation fault and Core is dumped as soon as launched. Please help me out here.

I am using fglrx-13.152.4 driver recommended by AMD for FirePro W5000 alongwith 2x 24" LCDs. So if I don’t install this driver, I am able to run RViz, but the dual screen setup does not work, I just get a mirrored display. I did try running RViz in gdb but there it never crashed. I tried both ROS Groovy and Hydro on Ubuntu 12.04.3 (Kernel 3.8.0-29) Any ideas on how to correct this?

The following is the terminal log: https:// drive.google.com/file/d/0B4maFDfdH9ZiUWNSelBCUklLUnM/edit?usp=sharing

[Sorry I am a newbie, I was not able to paste the terminal output here, so uploading it as a text file via Google Drive]

Hi Stefan, thanks for your reply. I had tried these solutions before, I gave it a shot again over the weekend , but it did not work. I even tried disconnecting one monitor. Well I'll ask if I can get the card replaced to similar prices nVidia card. I think I have a colleague who has a Quadro 2000 on a similar machine in my university, I'll try installing ROS on it and see how that works out.
