 |
|
Hi!
I am using gentoo-sources-2.6.16, Gnome 2.14, Ati-drivers-8.27.10 and I have a Mobility Radeon X600 card. Unfortunately I have no idea how to get it to work. I followed the ATi-how-to from gentoo-wiki step by step and still some things don't want to work correctly. The problem is - whenever I log into Gnome and enter fglxinfo I get Mesa3d. However when I kill gdm and start it again it seems to work. I am pretty sure my xorg.conf is completely f***ed up but I tried everything and I am pretty lost in repairing it.

I don't see
| Code: |
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

How did you configure this? Do you have agpgart and fglrx as modules? Also, how did you generate this file? I haven't kept up to date with the newest tools, but fglrxconfig and opengl-update ati always do the trick for me! (Old school baby) |

Section "DRI" was at the top and I forgot to paste it. I used xorgconfig and aticonfig - fglrxconfig and opengl-update are deprecated and gentoo-wiki doesn't recommend using them. Here is the output of fglrxinfo:
| Code: |

And glxinfo:

How is your kernel configured? Are the settings correct?
Look for the unofficial ATI How-to by Wedge. It has a ton of information. My guess is that there's an improper configuration that might be covered there.
Beyond that, I don't recognize the error messages and can't help further. Sorry  |

Hmmm...
| Code: |
Name of display: :1.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
display: :1 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
|
From the unofficial ATI drivers FAQ...
| Quote: |
# Device drivers -> Character Devices -> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support): DISABLED
This option is not required, and will almost certainly prevent the driver from working if enabled. |
Are you sure you've disabled normal DRI support in the kernel? grep your Xorg logfile for "DRI" looking for a string like "DRI Initialization Failed" to be sure. If not you'll need to recompile. The other possibility is that you upgraded or recompiled your kernel but forgot to re-emerge ati-drivers, which I've done numerous times and ended up with either a black screen and frozen system, or the DRI failed message. In that case just re "emerge ati-drivers" and everything should be ok. And, YES, it is annoying to have to re-emerge the drivers.

| I've disabled it in the kernel for sure. My log says "DRI initialization successful". I recompiled ati-drivers lots of times and still nothing changed. |
