Hi
This i my first post 
I am using xfree-4.3.0-r2 with ati's own driver version 2.9.12, on a radeon 9700pro
I have generated my XF86Config-4 with ati's fglrxconfig
I've got the 3d stuff, and dual screens, working fine
But i cant seem to get DGA working
I'm not sure what it is, but i cant run vmware in full screen without it.
I've read several threads saying that i should comment out the line below. So i did and restarted xfree
| Code: | | # Option "omit xfree86-dga" |
But vmware still says the following messages
| Quote: | XFree86 DGA extension not present. Either your X Server is built without this extension, or it is not configured to use it.
XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) initialization failed.
AND
The virtual machine will not be able to run in full-screen SVGA mode, because your X server does not support the XFree86 DGA extension for direct-to-frame-buffer graphics, or because DGA is supported but the virtual machine cannot use it.
|
And i've checked /var/log/XFree86.0.log, and it dosn't even mention anything about dga at all.
And at last a minor problem which i think is related to xfree. My screen goes black if i dont use my computer for a while (10 min i think). How can i disable that ? |

| Code: | Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# Load "extmod" |
You might try to uncomment the extmod line in XF86Config, I assume it's either commented or doesn't exist. Then comment out the other references to extmod, e.g., SubSection extmod in the same section. I don't actually know what your XF86Config is like, I pulled this from another post on the forums.
