i think i setup everything fine.. i ran glxgears and got no errors and around 1000 fps.. i did 'emerge quake3' and tried to run it,,, however after about 10seconds of playing the game my entire computer freezes and i have to use the reset button to restart it.. any suggestions from ppl using a radeon 7500 card ?
btw.. if i turn off gl extentions it works fine , but i get like 30fps like that.. i want to play q3 with gl extentions.. |

That's odd ... I have a Radeon 7500 Mobile and can play Quake 3 Demo quite smoothly. Are you sure that your kernel module and your XFree86 modules come from the same place?
I had problems getting DRI working when using stock kernel DRM and ati-gatos XF86 drivers ... I switched them both over to the DRI distro from dri.sourceforge.net and things are okay. Switching out of the X console to a different virtual console is flaky, however, necessitating a hard reboot. |
