My graphics should be awesome, but they suck!

[slayerofgods]

Here are my specs:
Fedora Core 3, p4 2.2 ghz, 1g pc2700 ram,256mb Radeon x800 pro agp 8x

I cannot get a resolution higher than 800x600

All 3-d animations run EXTREMELY slow

Any Ideas?

Thanks

First things what driver are you using? paste your xorg conf file here so I can get a better understanding of what is going on

[slayerofgods]

Ok, sorry i didn't mention I was a noob. I haven't installed any drivers, so i guess it is included in fedor3.

how do i view my xorg conf file?

-thanks

Thanks for the help.

I tried : yum install ati-fglrx kernel-module-fglrx-`(uname -r)` from the faq, but I got this message:

Any ideas?

try this:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49942

and maybe try to uninstall flgrx (without warranty )

[slayerofgods]

I just tried the advice on that post. got the "nothing to do" message
still got the same transaction error as above.

[jim]

maybe the conflict is between livina repo and a different repo ????

[ilja]

ok.
There is no warranty that this won't break your whole X-server so you do it on your own risk.

yum remove fglrx

and then try this www.fedorafaq.org/#ati one more time.

[slayerofgods]

ok, I tried: yum remove fglrx
and got : No Packages marked for removal

[AndyGreen]

Try

yum remove fglrx_4_1_0

(looks like evil nonstandard versioning method)

[slayerofgods]

That did it. I'm off to go render beautiful 3-d animations.

thanks for all your help
