I'm trying to properly set up my ATI Radeon Mobility M6. Right now, the best I can get in glxgears is about 250FPS (TOO SLOW!!!)

Code:

datlap ~ # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
intel_agp              20252  1
agpgart                29704  1 intel_agp
wlan_wep                5760  1
ath_pci                53728  0
ath_rate_onoe           7112  1 ath_pci
ath_hal               146896  2 ath_pci
wlan                  107740  4 wlan_wep,ath_pci,ath_rate_onoe


Code:

datlap ~ # modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r3/video/fglrx.ko): No such device


I've tried using the radeon module, but the framerates stay the same. I can't seem to get fglrx loaded. Not sure if it'll even make it any better. Anyone have any ideas??

glxinfo shows you if you have accelleration.

Try to use that: http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/papers/X31/X31.html

glxinfo

Code:

dat@datlap ~ $ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating,
    GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_SGI_make_current_read,
    GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig
client glx vendor string: ATI
client glx version string: 1.3
client glx extensions:
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context,
    GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_ATI_pixel_format_float,
    GLX_ATI_render_texture
GLX extensions:
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context,
    GLX_ARB_multisample
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)
OpenGL extensions:
    GL_ARB_imaging, GL_ARB_multitexture, GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp,
    GL_ARB_texture_cube_map, GL_ARB_texture_env_add,
    GL_ARB_texture_env_combine, GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3,
    GL_ARB_transpose_matrix, GL_EXT_abgr, GL_EXT_blend_color,
    GL_EXT_blend_minmax, GL_EXT_blend_subtract, GL_EXT_texture_env_add,
    GL_EXT_texture_env_combine, GL_EXT_texture_env_dot3,
    GL_EXT_texture_lod_bias
glu version: 1.3
glu extensions:
    GLU_EXT_nurbs_tessellator, GLU_EXT_object_space_tess


I had already tried using http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/papers/X31/X31.html earlier. My frame rates always seem to stay the same no matter what I do. I know the video card in here isn't the greatest, but I KNOW that the framerates should be higher.

In your glxinfo you see:

Code:
direct rendering: No


which means no 3d accel.
Are you sure you followed exactly brix's guides ? If you are maybe you'd be better asking in #gentoo-laptop[/bug]

Yup.. I saw that when I posted it. I just don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure which modules I'm not using that I need. I loaded up the ubuntu livecd, and checked that glxinfo (since the video performance was much better there), and I found this:

Code:

name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating,
    GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_SGI_make_current_read,
    GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
client glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context,
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_allocate_memory,
    GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_MESA_swap_frame_usage, GLX_OML_swap_method,
    GLX_OML_sync_control, GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
    GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
    GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group


Notice the client glx vendor... SGI.. Where does it get that info from?
