I have a Radeon 9800. After emerging ati-drivers and 'opengl-update ati', I added fglrx to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and ran modules-update. However, it won't load at boot. Here's a snippet.

Code:

Jul 15 01:05:58 slug fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 431 MBytes.
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 3.9.0 [May 11 2004] on minor 0
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [<e1938918>] __ke_alloc_wait_queue_head_struct+0x18/0x30 [fglrx]
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [<e194ae6f>] firegl_open_helper+0x15f/0x190 [fglrx]
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [<e193bf76>] firegl_setup_dev+0x126/0x1d0 [fglrx]
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [<e193b594>] firegl_open+0x194/0x260 [fglrx]
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [<e1938713>] firegl_stub_open+0x93/0xc0 [fglrx]
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [<e1938680>] firegl_stub_open+0x0/0xc0 [fglrx]
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState   = 0x00000000 (hardware caps of chipset)
Jul 15 01:05:58 slug [fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 10767 using kernel context 0



Any ideas why it isn't working? I tried searching for this in the forums, and yes, I reemerged ati-drivers and tried modprobe -f. It didn't work. Thanks in advance! :)

Perhaps you have "Use registers arguments" checked in your kernel-config?
This breaks binary modules like the fglrx.

I moved away from fglrx drivers for my radeon 9000....
Got plenty (and better) results on xorg.... glxgears = 13000 frames in 5 seconds ;-)

Code:

Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
    Group "audio"
EndSection

Section "Module"
        #Load  "record"  # Does not work :-(
        Load  "extmod"
        SubSection  "extmod"
                Option  "omit xfree86-dga"
        EndSubSection
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "xtrap"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "speedo"
        Load  "wacom"
        Load  "v4l"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Option     "AGPMode"   "4"              # <i>
        Option     "EnablePageFlip"             # [<bool>]
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "ati"
#       Driver      "fglrx"
        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection


Hope this helps you :-)
