 Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 1:27 am Post subject: ATI drivers 8.23.7 - recommended settings |
 |
|
Hi, I have recently installed Gentoo on my new laptop (with ATI X300 Mobility Radeon). I have configured X.org using "X -configure", then installed proprietary ATI drivers 8.23.7 and updated the xorg.conf with "aticonfig --initial". Hardware acceleration works fine (over 3000 fps in glxgears), but I have problems playing videos with xine and mplayer - too many dropped frames. Mplayer cannot be started at all - error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. With the opensource "ati" X.org driver everything works fine - but HW acceleration is worse.
So my question is: what are the recommended settings of all possible parameters for the latest version 8.23.7 of the ATI proprietary driver? Or where can I find all available options for the latest drivers?

I don't know what the recommended settings for the ati-driver are. The following settings work fine here, although I had to say, my graphics card is a little bit older than yours (ATI M11, aka Mobility 9700). You may have a different amount of video ram though. | Code: | Section "Device"
BoardName "RV350 NP"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter"
# Chipset "MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 (M10/M11 4E50)"
Driver "fglrx"
# === disable PnP Monitor ===
#Option "NoDDC"
# === disable/enable XAA/DRI ===
Option "no_accel" "no"
Option "no_dri" "no"
# === FireGL DDX driver module specific settings ===
# Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0"
# === Screen Management ===
Option "DesktopSetup" "0x00000000"
Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, AUTO"

# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
# === Misc Options ===
Option "UseFastTLS" "0"
Option "EnablePrivateBackZ" "yes"

Thanks for your help, unfortunatelly X locks on startup with black screen with your settings.
Is there anyone here with working ATI X300 Mobility Radeon (64MB memory) and ATI drivers 8.23.7? Can you please send your xorg.conf? Thanks.
edit: I've tried Strowi's configuration from https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-435072.html - everything seems to be OK now  |

I have the same graphics card. Here's the relevant section of my xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter 0"
Option "RenderAccel" "true" # [<bool>]
Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "false"
Option "VideoOverlay" "true"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "false"
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,crt1"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection |
That makes XV work for most programs (kmplayer has a problem with it, though, so I have to use x11 instead). |
