pjlehtim Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 pjlehtim: can you NOT run make.sh, but try to do"rpm -Uvh --force" on RPM you've downloaded? No. It still results the same error I quoted in my first post into this thread :( I'm clearly missing some instlled RPMs here.. Just don't know which. I have the kernel sources installed and the gcc. This makes me feel myself as a complete idiot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randuev Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 post the following outputs: ls -lag /usr/src/ maybe your sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.4xxxx/ and there's no symbolic link to /usr/src/linux also give me the full name of your driver RPM. also try installing all development packages. automake, autoconf might be needed.

pjlehtim Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 (edited) Ok. Installed all developer RPMs. The same problems still exist. Tried to run the RPM again and then the make.sh. Here is the output from ls [root@meitrix linux-2.6.3-4mdk]# la -lag /usr/src/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 root 4096 Mar 16 00:26 ./ drwxr-xr-x 13 root 4096 Mar 15 02:58 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root 4096 Mar 16 10:00 ATI/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 16 Mar 16 00:26 linux -> linux-2.6.3-4mdk/ drwxr-xr-x 20 root 4096 Mar 16 00:26 linux-2.6.3-4mdk/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root 4096 Mar 14 22:51 RPM/ I'm just wondering why the make.sh mentiones "2.4.25-2mdk"? and the driver RPM is: fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm Edited March 16, 2004 by pjlehtim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Where did you get your kernel sources from? The kernel you have installed is 2.4.25-2mdk, but the sources are for another kernel. They need to match - you cannot have one kernel installed and compile against different sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kernel you have installed is 2.4.25-2mdk, but the sources are for another kernel. hmm... strange. I installed the MDK10 from scratch (didn't update). Isn't there supposed to be 2.6.x kernel? I installed the kernel src RPM usin mandrake's install software. Just typed "kernel" in search and checked the box and installed it. I'm confused. [EDIT] Yeah. I really have ended up with 2.4.25 somehow. How I can fix this? Edited March 16, 2004 by pjlehtim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjlehtim Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 (edited) OK. Now it works. Somehow the default in LILO was wrong and ponted to 2.4. There were also 2.6 option. By selecting it my system booted up into 2.6.x and now the RPM is getting installed just right. Thank you for help, phunni and Randuev! [EDIT] And now I have working 3D drivers installed. Thank you guys again! Edited March 16, 2004 by pjlehtim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randuev Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 my god, you were running 2.6 and didn't know? ;) good job anyway, don't worry about feeling little silly at first, I spend first 3 months drowning in new information back in 1996. mind you I didn't have internet back then to get help from :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfahBoy808 Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) pjlehtim: when you select the LSB package in the mandrake 10 install, it installs the 2.4 kernel instead of the 2.6. :) BTW, my Ati 9800 pro works in mandrake 10 comm. fine with the Radeon (fglrx) driver. It does not work in 9.2 however. I had to use the VESA driver. Edited March 17, 2004 by SurfahBoy808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorman Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I have ATI Radeon 9800XT. I installed Mandrake 10.0 & I used the drivers posted on ATI website 3.7.6. The work very well. I installed UT2004 Demo and the game is works very well. I jus had one problem with that driver. I cannot start mutliple sessions. if I switch between different sessions the system freezes. The driver was installed without any error message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I got my ATI Mobility M6 LY to work with DRI: (this worked for me in Gentoo 2.6.3 and Mandrake 2.6 kernels, may not work for others) I have to compile my own kernel.. First found out what chipset I use: [root@arora acdispatcher]# lspci | grep AGP 00:00.0 Host bridge: ALi Corporation M1671 Super P4 Northbridge [AGP4X,PCI and SDR/DDR] (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation PCI to AGP Controller OK so I know to compile ALI into the kernel. [root@arora acdispatcher]#urpmi kernel-sources Now compiled my kernel with: >>>>>Character devices <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) <*> ALI chipset support < > ATI chipset support < > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support < > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support < > Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support < > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support < > SiS chipset support < > Serverworks LE/HE chipset support < > VIA chipset support [*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ < > 3dlabs GMX 2000 < > ATI Rage 128 <*> ATI Radeon < > Matrox g200/g400 < > SiS video cards From experince with my setup I have found that DRI only worked if I compiled everything into the kernel.

kclau Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Anyone know if there are specific drivers for the ATI Radeon 7500? It works with either "Radeon" or "Radeon 8500" driver (with 3D accel). I am using the 8500 one without problem. You can try. (I find two other Radeon drivers in the list, "Radeon (fbdev)" and "Radeon (fglrx), but don't know what those are, do anyone can tell me?)

jdion81 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well I can use the 7500 with the generic Radeon driver. I just wanted to know if there was a more specific or specialized driver for it that would offer better (if possible) performance. Thanks.

olpe Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) I am having big problems after I have run make.sh -> everything goes well.. Then I try to run from ../make_install.sh I get this error message - creating symlink - recreating module dependency list - trying a sample load of the kernel module FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format failed.

Guest Incognito Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 (edited) Im having the same problems as olpe with 2.6.3-7 kernel This is the error I get: - creating symlink - recreating module dependency list - trying a sample load of the kernel module FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted failed.
