Hi guys

So i,m trying out Fedora 10 and so far i,m liking it, but I cant get these dam fglrx drivers to work.

This is what I have done so far.

Installed Fedora 10 x86_64.
Updated system.

Then I read this post ...

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503&page=1&pp=10

And followed the instructions at the top of the page to the letter.

My system boots fine, and everything is working.

But there is still something wrong.

The ATI Catalyst Control Center cant detect my graphics card.

glxgears, although its not a benchmark, it does give a fairly accurate indication of performance and is running at 280fps when it should be nearly 5000 with my card.

I have not installed any other drivers other than the ones indicated by the link above.

glxinfo returns the following information ...

name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: ATI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_OML_swap_method,
GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
client glx extensions:
...

fglrxinfo returns the following ...

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.3-devel


rpm -qa | grep fglrx returns ...

xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-9.3-2.fc10.x86_64
kmod-fglrx-9.3-1.fc10.x86_64
kmod-fglrx-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64-9.3-1.fc10.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-9.3-2.fc10.x86_64

and finally my xorg.conf is as follows ...

# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0

Section "Files"

EndSection

Section "DRI"

EndSection

EndSection



If anyone can help diagnose my problem is would be most appreciated.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, my card is a 1950 pro RV570.

Thank you.

It looks like DRI (3D rendering) isn't working properly - Please use a Pastebin to upload your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and post the link back here.
