Getting ATi cards to work in Fedora - Page 48

***Firewing1*** · #**706** 2007-04-12, 03:09 PM CDT

Code:

Section "Module"
	Load  "i2c"
	Load  "bitmap"
	Load  "ddc"
	Load  "dbe"
	Load  "glx"
	Load  "dri"
	Load  "extmod"
EndSection

I would remove this, it should be autoconfigured now. Also, I would try using livna-config-display to disable AIGLX since it adds a few more options to xorg.conf to be safe.

thanks for the ideas, but still no luck

i used livna-config-display but didn't notice any difference in the xorg.conf. i tried your suggestion "yum --enablerepo=livna-testing update xorg-x11-drv-fglrx" from the previous page but got

Code:

Could not find update match for xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

im running the fglrx driver right now (just got through playing open arena) but it will crash again if i try reboot, shutdown, or even change to runlevel 3

heres my xorg log file renamed to txt to attach

Well your log is fine which means DRI is good - Hows Mesa vs Fglrx libs?

Code:

ldd `which glxgears`

not sure what this one means

but...
# ldd `which glxgears`

That's wierd, it looks normal too. Maybe it's the app(s)?

yeah im pretty stumped... i was going to try a fresh install, but EVERYTHING else works perfectly, i dont really want to start from scratch again. stupid 3d accelleration is the only thing keeping me from toasting my WinXP partition now!

any idea why that update wouldnt work using the livna-testing repo? no x64 support yet maybe?

you could also run glxgears under strace:

Code:

# strace -o /tmp/output /usr/bin/glxgears

I used this at one time to discover that the libfglrxdrm.so (or something else maybe)
was not being loaded after the application was started up. Look for open() calls which
fail.

i installed fedora on my other pc which is an old duron 1200 with a radeon 9200 and it plays games better than my x800xl with this open driver!

im thinking of just buying an nvidia card, they seem like so much less hastle...

I've build them for livna - If all goes well, you'll see the updates tomorrow

was there an update or something to the open source driver that i didn't notice?

all of a sudden i have direct rendering working and games run awesome! i didn't even do anything except update yesterday

***Firewing1*** · #**718** 2007-04-20, 10:15 PM CDT

It's possible, but I doubt it. Maybe ldconfig auto-ran and relinked Mesa?

well i had updated to the new fglrx to see if it fixed my previous crashing problems... it didn't, so i removed fglrx totally and now the open driver seems to be running fine! oh well, im just not going to touch anything now
