Guest flarkit Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi I've tried all-but-everything to get my 9500 to run OpenGL, as opposed to having the Mesa software renderer. My setup: - Epox 8RDA+ - Barton 2800+ - 512Mb DDR333 - PowerColor Radeon 9500 Pro - Seagate 60Gb HDD - Samsung CDRW - LG DVD-ROM - SB Live! 5.1 Mandrake Official 10.0 (3-CD download), 2.6.3.7 kernel The installation was a breeze, with all my hardware detected and all the software loaded within 35min. I chose the Internet, Office, Development and Gaming configurations. Steps I've tried: - Installed the 2.6.3.7 kernel source package - Download ATI's 4.3.0-3.9.0 rpm, install it (with 'rpm -i --force') and run 'fglrxconfig'. I've tried setting the agpgart to both the internal (ATI) and external settings. Still get Mesa in 'fglrxinfo'. - After a few reattempts, including manually executing the 2 scripts in "/lib/modules/fglrx/", I always have no error with "modprobe fglrx" and also find that "lsmod|grep agp" returns both "agpgart" and "nividia-agp". Yet 'fglrxinfo' simply continues to find Mesa as the driver. - I've now tried downloading the source package for Nvidia's nforce2 drivers and compiling those, but that screwed my kernel up quite seriously. Yet another installation coming up. Whenever I did a straightforward "rpm -i --force", or "rpm -U --force", I have absolutely no errors whatsoever. Still, I simply remain stuck with Mesa for OpenGL rendering!!! I feel as if there's just some small setting that needs to changed, so that the OS can associate 'fglrx' with OpenGL, as opposed to Mesa. Also, I've downloaded the 2.6.7 patch and its source, but feel a little hesitant to run it, as I'd rather not introduce even more potential stumbling blocks (unless there's a strong case in favor).

fissy Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 could you post your /var/log/XFree.0.log (i might have got that path slightly wrong). seeing the whole of glxinfo would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flarkit Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Hi Naturally (well in Murphy's terms), right after I reach out for help, I fix the problem! I have the correct OpenGL association now. I followed the instructions in the ATI Radeon Linux How-to (from Rage3d) It turns out I just had to - Install the ATI 4.3.0-3.9.0.rpm - run fglrxinfo - and include this line install fglrx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fglrx && { /sbin/modprobe nvidia-agp; /bin/true; } in /etc/modprobe.conf, and OpenGL works like a charm. FWIW, here's the output from fglrxinfo, fgl_glxgears, glxgears and glxinfo... [clement@clem clement]$ display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
