Hi.
I have configured my kernel such that I have the:
| Code: |
agpgart
amd64-agp agp_try_unsupported=1
fglrx
|
content of the "/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6"-file.
The three modules get loaded just fine.
Next I have this configuration file for xorg.conf:

What do I do wrong?
(EDIT): I have run
"eselect opengl set ati" and an eselect opengl list gives:
| Code: |
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] ati *
[2] xorg-x11

You can search google for this error:
| Code: | | Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". |
All solutions I've checked are all different from each other. Someone has reinstalled the drivers, someone has rebuilt its xorg.conf. Since I really don't know what's the cause of this problem I haven't posted links because they're really too much to post  I think that looking with google you'll find out that one of the several existing solutions works for you.

I don't seem to find any other solution than to reinstall the driver, and that doesn't really work.
If I reboot the computer and choose to load xdm by default with rc-udpate the monitor goes blank. But if I choose to start xdm by issuing /etc/init.d/xdm start then there is no trouble at all!
How can this be?
And why is there this error about the missing DRI extension on display ":0.0"?
Thanks

Anyway, consider modifying you xorg.conf and add the line "Group" into DRI Section
| Code: | Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection
|
You may modify it to "Group 0" or anything else you like, just make sure the normal user is in the group you've specified

Hi
It seemed to be a font-path that messed the whole thing and made the fglrx driver segfault... Crazy.
Anyway, the acceleration is now active, but only with around 250 frames in glxgears which is clearly worse than without acceleration.
It looks nicer, but I guess that the framerate is quite low.
What settings should I place in the configuration file to get higher performance. I should probably force the driver to think that it's a PCI-X solution and I guess something more?
Thanks

I suggest you to do "aticonfig --help" and read all the available options. Usually for greater performance you may want to disable FSAA and Vsync and enable overlays. Anyway you won't get really high scores in glxgears with ATI proprietary drivers. Since few releases 250 frames is quite acceptable/normal.
Anyway I suggest you this command...
| Code: | | aticonfig --psc=off --stereo=off --tls=on --sb=on --locked-userpages=on --gcpu=off |
or try adding those lines to your default ATI head in xorg.conf
| Code: | Option "NoDRI" "off"
Option "UseFastTLS" "1"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=1"
Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on"
Option "FSAAEnable" "off"
Option "FSAAScale" "2"
Option "FSAADisableGamma" "off"
Option "Centermode" "off"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "off"
Option "Stereo" "off"
Option "StereoSyncEnable" "off"
Option "ForceGenericCPU" "off"
Option "EnablePrivateBackZ" "on"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "on" |
