all working fine now...
thanks a lottt :D |
Hi Guys
I'm a victim of mindless updating (yum update). Basically my Radeon Mobility 200G isn't supported by the latest build (red vert lines, ATI says nolonger supported). I have the free driver going but I'm already missing compiz and preformance. Where can I turn to for a previous release of flgrx? Thanks |

Hi Leigh123
[root@localhost log]# lspci |grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] I double checked ATI's website and think it's supported, probably not much longer though so I removed the fglrx driver restarted from step 1. Same result, Xorg.log full of errors & warnings though: Code:
[root@localhost Trevor]# cat Xorg.0.log |grep EECode:
root@localhost Trevor]# cat Xorg.0.log |grep WWToo much info: Code:
[root@localhost Trevor]# rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-serverCode:
[root@localhost Trevor]# rpm -qa |grep fglrxCode:
[root@localhost Trevor]# rpm -qa |grep kernelCode:
[root@localhost Trevor]# uname -rI think it maybe easier to blow it away and reinstall this weekend. thanks |

Ard Righ, Did you install compiz-fusion after you installed the ATI driver? See: Howto for F10, F9 & F8 compiz-fusion ( for the official fedora packages ) |
Leigh,
The first time i installed F10 and tried your instructions it worked fine! But that was the only time it did! For various reasons i had to format my pc and when i installed F10 again ....and followed the same instructions again it did worked. I tried again and again but no luck!!! Im new to F10 and Linux but i dont understand how it worked just once and never again. Any ideas? |
hey mate ...? I am using fedora 10 ...but it's X86_64........
i mean 64 bite .... do i install the driver like what you have shown on the top ... or ,do i need to changer the end of step 1".i386" to ".x86_64" ??? or other method ????? your "HOWTO FOR F10" step 2: what do you mean by 'uname -r' ???? and step 3 : what do you mean by "nopat " and "nomodeset"??? "and add this "nopat" to the kernel arguments. Optional (in case libdrm change breaks things due to relationship with KMS): add "nomodeset" to end of kernel arguments " i cannot do anything without ATI driver .. I am waiting for you reply ? thank you if it's covenient ...can you send you reply to : eros.left@gmail.com |
Ok guys it worked for me again!
Steps taken: A. First Step: Followed Leighs instructions (thanks man you are a legend) A1. Install F10 rpmfusion driver su - rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing install akmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs.i386 A2. Backup Old initrd su mv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img.backup A3. Remake initrd for the kernel (So the radeon module is not force loaded) su - mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` A4. Edit grub.conf su gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf and add this "nopat" to the kernel arguments. Optional (in case libdrm change breaks things due to relationship with KMS): add "nomodeset" to end of kernel arguments A5. Reboot due to the akmod, it is *absolutely necessary* to reboot after the install, otherwise the kernel module won't be compiled. B. Unfortunately it did not work right after the reboot. In order to find out what was wrong with it I tried the command: B1. fglrx restart and I got the message FGLRX.KO for kernel 2.6.27-5 not found FGLRX DRI Will Not be enabled until one is found C1. I went to System > Administration > Add/Remove Software Typed kernel in the search field and downloaded the 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 C2. I rebooted and it worked fine!!! I hope I helped you guys. Once again thanks to Leigh!!!! |

You should be OK without using these, you can add them if your video does not start. Quote:

I'm doing some testing for the next driver update at RPM Fusion, and I was wondering if any users with X600SE cards (or older) have had success running this command only once:
Code:
mv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img.backupEdit: Symptoms of this "not working" may be the black screen problem while using an older card (X600 or less) - if you have this problem and run the above again, does it fix the problem? |

Just add the commands you want to the end of the line. |
My old R200 was dropped with the last fglrx driver and so I reverted to the radeon driver. If anyone's interested these options (man radeon) give decent preformance but at 400fps it's 1/3 of fglrx.
Option "NoAccel" "off" Option "AGPMode" "4" option "AGPFastWrite" "on" # option "BusType" "AGP" Option "ColorTiling" "on" Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" Option "RenderAccel" "on" # Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "AccelDFS" "on" Option "SubPixelOrder" "RGB" Option "DynamicClocks" "on" Option "DRI" "on" To enable direct rendering I had to remove all flgrx packages (yum list *fglrx*) and reinstalled xorg-x11-drv-ati. |
Hi,
Unfortunately I faced the problem with fglrx and compiz. Although I've got acceleration and dri, hardware AIGLX has not been loaded. My config is: uname -r 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 rpm -q kmod-fglrx kmod-fglrx-8.573-1.9.1.fc10.x86_64 (installed from rpmfusion) fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series OpenGL version string: 2.1.8395 Release glxinfo |grep direct direct rendering: Yes cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER (EE) AIGLX error: fglrx exports no extensions (/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "Module" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" Driver "fglrx" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection I spent surfing about three days, but I failed to find any working solution over the Internet . I will appreciate any aid and ideas. |
I have fedora 9 installed and I followed this guide.. but after reboot it crashes to console. I tried "fglrxinfo" and an error message comes up. then I tried "startx" and this is the error log it has given..
