glxgears leaves me with about 200 FPS.

Here is my xorg.conf file:

Code:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"

EndSection

	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

I've tried:
"aticonfig --initial" Wich gives me:

Code:

Found fglrx primary device section
Nothing to do, terminating.

I've also tried:
"ati-fglrx-config-display enable" both with x, and after doing init 3.

I dont know how to get my X1900XT card to do the rendering.

I also wanted to ask, is there NO possible workaround that i can use to get AIGLX? Or XGL?

Thanks

Code:

su -
rpm -Uhv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release5.rpm
yum install kmod-fglrx
rpm -e rhgb

try this one, this one from Firewing1 at http://forum.fedoraforum.org/forum/s...d.php?t=126525

good luck

hi try my working fc6 xorg.conf , your xorg.conf is a total mess no dri section two video drivers vesa and fglrx and loads of other mistakes , start again with mine , when you have it working you can set monitor from the menu under display.

Thanks alot

Direct rendering is now on. Anyway, i cant adjust the resolution to 1280x1024...?

Anyone know if there is any hope of me getting a 3D cube any time before ATI lauches yet another driver that sucks?

leigh123linux · #6 3rd November 2006, 08:53 PM

a little change on the modes line will fix that.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

If you are using FGLRX drivers, either installed from Livna or the ATI website you will not be able to use FC6 built-in AIGLX/Compiz, but you will have 3D acceleration for games.. For the desktop effects you will need to install XGL separately But if your video card supports the built-in Radeon driver you will be able to use the FC6 built-in desktop effects ie cube, water etc., and only have 2D But if your really lucky you can install the FGLRX drivers, XGL and have 3the best of everything 3D acceleration, and effects. Nope I'm not that lucky......

I dont really care for 3D acceleration. The FGLRX drivers srill isen't good enough for my taste. And no, the radeon drivers doesen't support my card. It only supports up to x850 still.

So i will look into XGL then

Mixy · #9 4th November 2006, 03:24 PM

Hmmm... tried updating ur xorg file, with the nem modes line. All it gives me when i boot is a error from my screen, saying "input out of range". Wich really tells me the resolution is too high. This is strange, as my screen totally supports 1280x1024.

Any ideas?

leigh123linux · #10 4th November 2006, 03:46 PM

try commenting out (#) the vert & horiz lines and let it auto detect

Mixy · #11 4th November 2006, 03:54 PM

Totally worked

Got XGL working aswell ^^

Thanks alot Leigh123 This is a great community for support
