 |
|
Perhaps this needed it's own thread, so:
I am having trouble getting X to start using the fglrx ATI drivers. It almost looks like it's started, and then crashes saying:
| Code: | (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so failed (libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering |
At first, there was NO file in /usr/lib/dri. In fact, I don't think that directory even existed. After emerging ati-drivers again, I noticed it was putting that file in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so. Trying to be clever, I did:
| Code: | | ln -T /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so |
That's the current state of things. I've really been enjoying figuring all this Linux stuff out on my own, but this has had me stumped for a while now.
here is hopefully all the relevant files/outputs:
Output of startx
Xorg.0.log
xorg.conf
make.conf
Output of emerge --info
Current kernel configuration
modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Thanks for any help!

Okay, I tried adding the -fomit-frame-pointer and did the emerge -av --deep world --newuse. After troubleshooting a few errors from startx, I am now able to get it to work once I put exec gnome-session back in the ~/.xinitrc file. I get some ~1000fps with glxgears and glxinfo is reporting direct rendering. My only remaining problem is that this only works for the root account. How can I fix this to work on my other accounts?
Thanks,
-Steve |

| Did you run "eselect opengl set ati"? |

In this HOWTO the error is mentioned. But just copying the file does not fix the problem for me.
So I am also still looking for a solution. |

Okay, I figured it out. Instead of:
| Code: |
Section "DRI"
Group "Video"
Mode 0660
EndSection
|
I now have (notice the '6' at the end instead of '0'):
| Code: |
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
|
I now have direct rendering for my other user accounts.
There almost needs to be some sort of sticky with these common issues. I sure wished I could have found all this in one place instead of d*cking around with it forever pulling my hair out. 
The only down side to the direct rendering is that it appears to not support my system's highest resolution. Is it normal for it to not support 1920x1200? I've added that resolution to my xorg.conf. It will start X with that and then immediately revert to 1280x800 before gnome-session starts. Anyone know about this? |

Well, I have not problems to run with 1920x1200.
Try this in your xorg.conf: | Code: | Section "Modes"
Identifier "16:10"
ModeLine "1920x1200" 210.7 1920 1952 2456 2784 1200 1224 1236 1261
ModeLine "1280x800" 83.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828
ModeLine "1680x1050" 214.5 1680 1800 1984 2288 1050 1051 1054 1103
ModeLine "768x576" 50.0 768 832 846 1000 576 590 595 630
ModeLine "768x576" 63.1 768 800 960 1024 576 578 590 616
#Modeline "640x480@100" 43.163 640 680 744 848 480 481 484 509 +hsync +vsync
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "FlatPanel"
UseModes "16:10"
HorizSync 31.5 - 100.0
VertRefresh 30.0 - 90.0
Option "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling=Centered"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection |
This works for me, hopefully for you too. |
