Need help with gaming in general for Fedora 6

[matrim]

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster. Eheh :P

For accelerated graphics games, I'm not sure what Im missing but I've searched and done a few things but still have errors. I've tried on the Quake demo, Sauerbraten , and Cube. The main error I get is :
Unable to create OpenGL screen (Couldn't find matching GLX visual)

I have an ATI Radeon 9250 and the standard driver works for regular computing I guess. I believe there was a download fglx and I have that installed as well, but still no go.

In Quake I get :
ERROR: SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
********************
--------------- BSE Shutdown ----------------
---------------------------------------------
WARNING: rvServerScanGUI::Clear() - invalid scanGUI

idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
Sys_Error: SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

I need help finding out why the errors are happening and where to get the right packages if needed. :)

Hello:
You should start by trying to install the 3rd party ati drivers.
If you follow this guide it should help you.

I don't have an ati video card, so I am not sure which driver package is suitable for your card.
I'm sure other ati users will chime in to assist. :)

Hi,
Already read the guide, and followed it, but still no go. Any other suggestions?

What does fglrxinfo return when you type it in a terminal?

It may also be helpful to attach your /etc/X11/grub.conf file

[matrim]

fglrx:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!

Looks like its missing? But when I YUM glrx:

Driver "radeon"


Replace with: Driver "fglrx" and restart the X server.

[matrim]

Replace with: Driver "fglrx" and restart the X server.

Tried that, still no go :(.

Error i think was: (EE) No devices detected.


Fatal server error:
no screens found

[RobertoVanto]

Are you sure you have followed this (http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon) guide?

To enable the fglrx driver use:

% /usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display enable

instead of ati-fglrx-config-display enable

[matrim]

Hehe,
After that it says it is already enabled. %)

So now what?

I'll double check guide, maybe i have some conflicting kernel problems? 386 to 686?

Also, I had a Nvidia card in there, but think i got all the drivers removed for the new card.

[matrim]

Anyone else wanna help me out? :)
