First Post!
After googling my face off for the last 10 hours (much of it spent within the gentoo forums) I have yet to find a resolution to my problem
ATI X300 on a brand new Dell Dimension 4700.
CANNOT get 3d to work. OpenGL programs work at amazingly slow (4fps) rates. glxgears won't even run!
lspci:

I notice no AGP controller, which is somewhat troubling.
lsmod:
| Code: |
Module Size Used by
agpgart 30256 -
e100 33920 -
|
Error from Xorg.0.log:
| Code: |
[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *

(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
|
When I try to modprobe fglrx:
| Code: |
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/fglrx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg:
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
fglrx: Unknown symbol module_refcount
|
I've tried just about everything outlined in the forums.
Some kernel config settings:
| Code: |
<M> /dev/agpgart
<M> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
<M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) (I'VE TRIED TAKING THIS OUT)
<M> Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
<M> i915 driver
|
Also, when trying to modprobe intel_agp it doesn't throw back errors, but does not show up in lsmod
a dmesg reveals the following:
| Code: |
kobject_register failed for agpgart-intel (-17)
[<c023297b>] kobject_register+0x5b/0x60
[<c02a42a8>] bus_add_driver+0x58/0xd0
[<c023c40d>] pci_register_driver+0x7d/0xa0
[<e084e00f>] agp_intel_init+0xf/0x11 [intel_agp]
[<c01360a4>] sys_init_module+0x144/0x1c0
[<c01032af>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
|
Oh, and I suppose it would be important to mention that I'm running linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r6 and have been trying the 8.12.10 and 8.8.25-r3 ATI drivers.
If ANYONE can offer any insight as to what the problem may be I would be MOST appreciative! I'm reaching my wits end.
If you require any additional debug information please advise! |

OK, the lack of an AGP controller is lspci is presumably normal if you have a PCI-E mobo and card, so I wouldn't worry about that. The error in your log is appearing because the fglrx module isn't loaded. The fglrx module isn't loading because the "module_refcount" symbol is unresolved. This is a kernel problem - the driver is expecting to find a function or data structure called "module_refcount", but it's been removed or renamed in the kernel version you're using. If you Google around or search the forums you might well find a patch that will fix this problem. Alternatively, try a slightly earlier version of gentoo-sources. You can disable the DRM options in the kernel, they aren't required. Leave the AGP options as they are.
