 Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2006 2:19 pm Post subject: ATI driver issues |
 |
|
My laptop has an ATI mobility radeon X1400 running with drivers 8.25.18. I have 2 questions:
- how do i enable powerplay
- when i try to run fgl_glxgears i get
| Code: |
-bash-3.00$ DISPLAY=:0 fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get fbconfig
|
Also, when i run fireglcontrolpanel, it says that ati extensions are not provided by the driver
| Code: |
(II) fglrx(0): POWERplay version 3. 4 power states available:
(II) fglrx(0): 1. 446/342MHz @ 60Hz [enable load balancing]
(II) fglrx(0): 2. 128/135MHz @ 60Hz [low voltage, enable sleep]
(II) fglrx(0): 3. 209/135MHz @ 60Hz [low voltage, enable sleep]
(II) fglrx(0): 4. 324/135MHz @ 60Hz [low voltage, enable sleep]
|
- How do i enable these power saving options? I tried Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
but i see this in the log file
| Code: |
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "DynamicClocks" is not used
|
does anyone have a similar experience? |

afaik DynamicClocks don't work with the ati-driver,
iirc they only work with the x-org driver
u have to change the state manually,
aticonfig --set-powerstate=[1-4]
try
eselect opengl set ati
and test fgl_glxgears |

No powerplay for me, aticonfig says cant load powerplay information. fireglcontrolpanel cannot find extensions etc.
Can anybody tell me what libraries/modules/settings i need to check ? |

afaik they work out of the box, if ur ati-drivers are installed correctly
/opt/ati/bin/aticonfig --lsp
list all avaible powersetting of ur gpu, maybe there is a "bug" with the fireglcontrolpanel ?
set the powerstate with the command i mention in the above post |
