 Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 3:30 pm Post subject: Problems with ATI-8.23.7 |
 |
|
Hi All,
I'm having a bit of a hard time getting the ATI-drivers working on the 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon X300 Graphics that is in the Dell D610n that I've recently got from work.
I've tried following the HOWto ATI Drivers, but to no avail.
The ATI drivers installed are...
| Code: | emerge ati-drivers -pv
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.23.7 USE="opengl"
|
...I added the module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and after a reboot it loads fine...
| Code: |
# lsmod

...but when I try starting X I get the following errors....
[code]
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
[code]
I've done searching of the forums but to no avail, seems no one else has had this sort of problem (the fglrx driver not being found).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

when you are building ati-drivers does /usr/src/linux point to the working kernel or to a different one?
I have a 810 and I don't have any problems. I believe I have an x600. |

This is a fresh install and there are therefore only one set of kernel sources installed.
The kernel sources I have are -r7, could this be the problem? Personally I don't see how it could be since everything installs okay. |

IS fglrx shown in lsmod?
If you have recompiled your kernel, you need to recompile the ati-drivers. |

So yep I've recopmiled the driver and loaded it.
(May still be listed as a n00b, but I've been tinkering around with gentoo/linux for a few years now, and can suss most things out, but this has stumped me).
I'm thinking since its an x300 (which has M22 chipset) I might try the opensource drivers. Any comments? (I'm about to do it now anyway, but thoughts would still be welcome).
Cheers

Just for shits and giggles, remove the modules, recompile the drivers, and reinsert the module:
modprobe -r fglrx
emerge ati-drivers
modprobe fglrx
And as the other poster pointed out, you do have the /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to your current kernel right? Not trying to be pedantic, but its usually the simple things that you miss.
EDIT: I have the 2.6.15-r7 kernel, but the 8.23.7 drivers are causing me problems with my framebuffer, you might want to try using the 8.22.5 drivers as well. |

Have tried all sorts of variations on this, all to no avail

Yep, and as I replied (see post above), its a fresh install so there are only one set of sources installed and the symlink points to them.

I've just installed the x11-drm drivers, and I can start fluxbox (startx), but gdm is being funny, I'll try rolling back the ati-drivers in due course, but this comps for work, and I need to be getting on with work instead of figuring out how to get 3d acceleration going, so will beat the gdm problem into submission first (I do statistical genetics, and 3d accel is far from essential for that  )
Haven't marked this thread as solved (yet) as it isn't, but will post if I suss it out.
Thanks for input,

I've got ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (64-bit gentoo on aspire 5024), but I'm having the exact same kind of trouble. Have been having ever since ati-drivers-8.20.8 came out. Only ati drivers that work for me is the ati-drivers-8.19.10 and lower. I've tryed every trick in the the forum but still no go. Same error keeps coming everytime with the newer drivers
