 |
|
Hey all
I'm having quite a bit of trouble with the drivers for my ATI Radeon 9600.
At bootup, when it tries to load fglrx, it gives an error and cannot load it. I forget the exact text of the error, but lsmod doesn't list the module.
But also, both and | Code: | | # insmod /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-r1/video/fglrx.ko |
both give errors along the line of:
| Code: | | Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-r1/video/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted |
Basically, this leaves me using software mesa, here's my output of glxinfo

The ati-drivers version i'm using is 3.7.6-r1.
I'm wondering if this is a compatibility issue of fglrx with 2.6.5-gentoo-r1? Has anyone else had a similar problem and been able to solve it?
Thanks for any help!

Check the last few lines of "dmesg" output, it usually gives a bit more information.

Thanks for the idea, Wedge
Here's the relevent part of dmesg:

It looks like I might have some DRM kernel module built in to my kernel that I shouldn't. I'll try to figure that out...
If anyone notices anything else it might be please do tell. Thanks! |
