View Full Version : Direct rendering not working after kernel update

I updated my kernel today and now direct rendering isn't working.

I have an ATI card and it was working fine before - I tried yum removing the ati-x11-drv driver and then resintalling it but that didn't help. I have the same information in my xorg.conf file as before which definitely works

any suggestions to get direct rendering back?

I'm using fedora 7

I see who this is. For now I would get ndiswrapper going first then go from there.

Apparently livna have not yet made ready the corresponding kmod-fglrx package (still at rev. 6). Unfortunately, they removed the old xorg-x11-drv-fglrx (which is now at rev 7) package, too. I think they'll sync the two shortly, so this is just a temporary problem which should be fixed by the next round of updates. And after that, I'll never update xorg-x11-*, kmod-fglrx, and kernel packages until I make sure all there match. Probably you should do so, too :)
