|
|
maybe I'm doing something very wrong here but according to my system (gentoo-2.6.5 custom kernel) the fglrxconfig file didn't run after emerging the drivers (opengl-update ati worked fine)
here' s a transcript of the session, run under xterm (the same problem arose from a straight shell)
bash-2.05b# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --pretend ati-drivers
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] media-video/ati-drivers-3.7.6-r1
bash-2.05b# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ati-drivers
bash-2.05b# env-update
* Caching service dependencies...
bash-2.05b# source /etc/profile
morningstar root # fglrxconfig
bash: /opt/ati/bin/fglrxconfig: No such file or directory
morningstar root # cd /opt/ati/bin
morningstar bin # ls -l
total 152
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17298 May 8 13:02 fglrx_xgamma
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102896 May 8 13:02 fglrxconfig
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21151 May 8 13:02 fglrxinfo
morningstar bin #
no matter how I try to run it or where I try and run it from, it doesn't exist ?!
something to do with my files system maybe? I have no idea, Only switched from the dark side a week ago. |

Did you try doing "source /etc/profile"? You should always be able to run it by giving the full path, like this "/opt/ati/bin/fglrxconfig", or by changing to it's directory and doing "./fglrxconfig". _________________ Per Ardua Ad Astra

I tried all of those things before I posted. tried re-merging, tried to move the file location... don't know what next. Here's the transcript:
bash-2.05b# cd /opt/ati/bin/
bash-2.05b# ls -l
total 152
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17298 May 8 13:02 fglrx_xgamma
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102896 May 8 13:02 fglrxconfig
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21151 May 8 13:02 fglrxinfo
bash-2.05b# ./fglrxconfig
bash: ./fglrxconfig: No such file or directory

That is jacked up! Dunno what's going on there...FYI: Here is the procedure I use:
Code: | 1. Compile kernel **without** DRI/DRM support. Only get your motherboards agp support compiled in, NOT MODULE.
2. Reboot with new kernel in place.
3. # emerge ati-drivers
4. # opengl-update ati
5. # chmod 755 /opt/ati/fglrxconfig
6. # /opt/ati/fglrxconfig -> Choose options, when prompted choose YES to USE EXTERNAL GART !!! It will save config to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
7. Edit XF86Config-4 with any tweaks you require.
8. # modprobe fglrx
9. # vi /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 >> Add:
fglrx |

maybe I'm being dim but what header is DRI/DRM support under? can't find any obvious implicit references... |

just took a closer look at the compile process and the warning about architecture not been recognised (i am running the AMD64)... is it completely impossible to get the driver running in 32 bit emulation mode? |
