rbk25 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 i also check my xorg.conf file and the 3 lines in the dri section that i commented out are now gone for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 OK, it seems it won't work with the driver provided with the operating system by default. So, what I'll do tonight is jump on my system with the ATI card, and I'll check the configs, and post them with any ideas on what you can check. If none of that goes anywhere for you, then I'll post what I did getting the actual ATI drivers to work on my system, as currently, I'm just using the ones that came with LE2005. X is working fine for you so far, so take a break for the time being, check this post regular, in case anyone else has posted some ideas for things you can try. I'll have an update for you, either tonight or tomorrow morning for sure! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk25 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I truly appreciate everything that you have done for me so far, llet alone any help you give me i the futer.

ianw1974 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 OK, tried it both with the downloaded fglrx.....rpm and also the ati driver installer, and found as soon as I did, my system dropped to 200fps or thereabouts. Prior to this it was 1200fps. It seems my LE2005 system cannot handle the ATI driver and doesn't work with it too. So, since you've not installed it, you have a normal LE2005 system like mine. So, I've put my xorg.conf below. Compare this to yours, if you see any differences, post the differences, so I can check and say whether it's relevant to change to get it all working: # File generated by XFdrake.

rbk25 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) I was also wandering if you found this post relevant to my problem. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-43256.html I dont think that anyone is on mandriva but they heavilly discuss ati 9600 and its proper driver configuration. ( I think, doesnt make to much sense to me) Anyways, i was just researching. Edited January 27, 2006 by rbk25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 You could try removing the libglx line just by putting a # at the front of it. This basically comments the line out. The rest is monitor/screen dependent, so no need to change anything else there. Try that and see how you get on. Of course, don't use the ATI drivers as of yet. Luckily with the ATI installer, I was able to back-track without having to rebuild my system. One thing I will do, is I will install Mandriva 2006 on the machine I have at home with the ATI card, and see if it's any different/better. If you can download Mandriva 2006 Free, DVD is about 2GB, or 3 x CD @ 700MB maybe give this a go. I find the latest addition works much better for me than LE2005 anyhow. If you want to hold on, I'll do an upgrade first, and then we can go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Can't really see anything in that post that hints at your problem. Then problem we have is trying to get direct rendering to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 OK, bear with me. I'm trying install of MDV2006 tonight, as it might work better for you. The main problem is that it has a pre release xorg, but when the updates are applied it will be an official release of xorg. In many cases, this has never caused me any problems, but should you decide to install 2006, the first thing you should do is apply all the updates before doing anything else. I'll post back later with details on using 2006 instead of LE2005. As it happens, LE2005 will be unsupported from April this year, so 2006 might be a best bet anyway for further support until next year.

rbk25 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 sounds good. In case i install and get ahead of you a little before tonight, what should i be lookin for to assure me that i have matched the best driver?? a high fps with glxgears or "direct rendering yes". thanks for the help today. hopefully we will get this figured out.

ianw1974 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 The main thing is the direct rendering = yes. For 2006, similar things apply. Start with adding dri stuff to xorg.conf, see if you get direct rendering. From what I've found, it's been enabled by default, but if not, check these settings. Then see if you get a yes to direct rendering. Once you've got this, you'll get a high fps. I'll be doing tonight anyhow, as I wanted to upgrade the machine anyway, but I'll provide feedback later too and hopefully if you do install 2006, that you have more luck too :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk25 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I have reformatted with 2006 with all udpates from mandriva first and then i selected all (main, source, plf ..............) easy urpmi updates. everthing installed, and is ready to go. One question, when i do the easy urpmi, i cant get the last upate to finish. it just hangs. is that because it is the 2006 core update, which i already installed when i run update mandriva, through system-configuraton-packaging-mandriva updates. anyways, i just hit enter and then it states it is already installed. I have not installed anything else. for example, mesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Not that I know of, you can add two update sources. I have done myself but removed one since having two offers no benefit. The one created by default when you use the gui gets called something like main_updates and then the one with urpmi has a name of updates. Both are same sources, and can even be the same mirror if you chose the same one. See how you get on, if you find glxinfo doesn't report direct rendering, check the xorg.conf first for the dri entries, and add where necessary. Then try again, if nothing, add mesa, and try again.
