|
|
I had Xorg installed, and accedently installed Xfree86 as well. I unmerged both and re-emerged Xorg, but now DRI dosn't seem to work and I'm getting ~200FPS with GLXGears (was 1400+). My kernel (2.6.5-Gentoo-r1) hasn't been touched, and the xorg.conf file I am using is the same one as before. Any ideas?
GlxInfo shows no dri.
Also, I've tried unmerging/reemerging ati-drivers, to no luck...
at one point I was getting a arror RADEON(0): Unable to open write-combining range (0xd8000000,0x2000000).
I have a Ati Mobility Radeon 9200... This seems strange because it worked fine with no effort a couple of hours ago :-/ |

have you tried opengl-update?
Code: | usage: opengl-update <GL implementation>
note:
This utility switches between OpenGL implementations. Currently there
are five supported implementations, "xorg-x11" "xfree" "nvidia" "ati"
and "mtx", the implementations for X.org, XFree86, nVidia, ATi
and Matrox drivers respectively.
examples:
opengl-update xorg-x11
This will setup things to use libGL.so from X.org.
opengl-update nvidia
This will setup things to use libGL.so from the nVidia drivers.
|
this is usually the first thing to look at w/ regard to glxgears fps.
Also you might investigate whether you're using the drm internal to the ati-drivers.
From the ati-faq:
Quote: | Important: Your kernel must have agpgart support and not have the DRM modules compiled in. |

opengl update didn't work, but it did tell me what the problem was...aparently the dir which is suposed to be xorg-x11 was non existant, copying the libraries over fixed the problem. |
