ATI Mobility Radeon X700 3D Acceleration Problem

[nafnaf]

Hi guys,

I am new to fedora 11. I have acer aspire 1690 laptop.
I wanted to try fedora on that. So installed and everything works fine.

I have installed radeon driver for my ATI Mobility Radeon X700 video card.
But 3D acceleration is not enabled in this drive.

Please help me to enable it.


Thanks guy's

Your card is not supported by the propriatary driver in F11. I believe what I wrote in the following post should work for you, however I would leave out the Option "AGPMode" "4" line, as I do not believe that applies to your X700.

I believe you should reboot after changes.

Try Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" instead of Option "AccelMethod" "XAA".

You could also try commenting out the last section. Just guessing here.

Hi David,

Still same error.

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

[David Batson]

What do you get by running the following command in terminal? modinfo radeon

Sorry this isn't working. Not sure what the problem is. This is all I have left.

You can check bugzilla and google your adapter and maybe find the solution to your problem. Maybe if there is an Acer forum they could help. You could search the phoronix forums.
