Firebird8 · #1 27th August 2006, 05:41 PM

I have looked around the forum and none of the giudes got direct rendering to work.
So I am posting for help

I have an AGP ATI Radeon 9600

Xorg.0.log:

Thanks in advance

I just poked in to say hi, I have no idea how to fix ati cards, I'm an nvidia user.

good luck.

Legomax · #3 27th August 2006, 11:25 PM

ill brb i think i can do a bit of good. my situation is a bit less grim. i dont have a full fledged working card but i will try to help you at least get to where i am...

Legomax · #4 27th August 2006, 11:29 PM

you might have an inactive driver try this:

/sbin/modprobe fglrx

run all of those output commands again afterwards, tell me if anything is differnt

Firebird8 · #5 28th August 2006, 02:04 PM

Someone helped me on IRC. I now have working card

I love how helful this community is compared to ubuntu

Melio · #6 28th August 2006, 04:24 PM

glad to know there's a differnce, I was worried ubuntu was overtaking the ranks of new users just because it has a neat logo that doesnt use an F-word.
(laugh)

Legomax · #7 28th August 2006, 05:04 PM

well i tried helping at least...

mlager · #8 6th September 2006, 12:15 PM

Would you mind telling us what solved it? Basically I'm having similar problems.
Thanks.

Legomax · #9 7th September 2006, 12:58 AM

srry ill post it.... here you go. found these instructions:

I have found if you are using 64 bit FC5 you need to ensure all the following packages are installed for the 3d accel test to pass in Cedega

xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit (this is the important package for Cedega without it the 3D test will fail)
kmod-fglrx
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-devel

Q: How do I enable 3D support for my ATI Radeon card in Fedora Core 5? (Updated 9 June 2006)
A: livna.org provides ATI driver RPMs that are designed especially for Fedora.

NOTE: If you have nVidia drivers installed, you must un-install them before installing these ATI drivers. (Thanks to Ajay for telling me this!)

Here's how to install them:

1. Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
2. Open a Terminal.
3. Become root:

su -
4. Install the driver:

yum install kmod-fglrx

Or, if you have a dual-processor (or dual-core) machine, instead you should type:

yum install kmod-fglrx-smp

5. Fix SELinux so that the driver will work:

setsebool -P allow_execmod=1
6. Shut down X:

init 3
7. Log in as root.
8. Enable the driver:

ati-fglrx-config-display enable
9. Restart X:

init 5

If you have an Intel motherboard, you will have to modify your xorg.conf file after installing the drivers:

1. Open a Terminal.
2. Become root:

su -
3. Open the xorg.conf file in a text editor:

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Find the line that looks like:

Driver "fglrx"
5. Add the following line right below it:

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
6. Save the file, and reboot your computer.

[B]ps if possible stay away from latest ATI driver!

I also have a radeon 9600 which I finally got to direct render using this link:

http://www.motherboardpoint.com/t867...-notebook.html

This is what i get:

[root@andy64 andy]# glxgears

1250 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.985 FPS
