 |
|
My server load was very high, so i decide to use my PC as server. It was with GeForce 7600gs.
Now i am using the old server as desktop... With Radeon 9550. I cant use the 7600 because it is on PCI-E 
Now let the "story" begin 
Unmasking the latest ati-drivers from portage. Installing. Editing xorg.conf.
Everything runs perfect exept aiglx fgl_glxgears runs perfect. Quake 3 runs perfect. Opengl uses ati drivers. (yes i did eselect opengl...)
I tried every driver in portage > 8.40. At the end i removed the driver from portage and installed the latest from ati.com. No change
The error is :
| Code: | compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 |
If try starting compiz with indirect rendering and it works. But runns awful:(
I have many errors like this in xorg.log

Here is my xorg.log

I tried to change many things in xorg.conf but no effect.

Try the open source driver (xf86-video-ati), particularly 6.8.0, as there appear to be some improvements for r3xx cards.

I have the r500 so I am not 100% sure, but I believe Hopeless is right, the r300 is now supported under the open-source drivers.
Here is a page at compiz that gives you some xorg.conf ideas http://compiz.org/ATI
I am running the 8.455.2 and they seem to be working well for me without XGL. There is a bit of slowness at times, but nothing unbareble, and it gets rid of XGL which caused more problems then it was worth.
