Hmm, and can You tell (write down ;) ) me what's all about adding these three lines to xorg.conf? What are they responsible for, and where did You find this tip? Of course if that's not a secret :P

Thx in advance.

I found it here :P

 

When I had the problem before, either that, or I googled it, but I'm sure I got it here when trying to set up opengl for the first time.

 

Earlier in the file you have:

 

load "dri"

 

which is for direct rendering. This section allows direct rendering for all users with the Mode setting.

 

Nvidia cards don't need this, as they use glx mostly. And hence, without this section they work fine for opengl.

Well, in my desperation I've decided to compile a new kernel (2.6.19.1). There are strong chances it won't even start, :P but I don't have any other ideas.

See You soon :D

 

There are so many things changed in 2.6.19 kernel series, that you have very strong chances succeeding in earning your non-bootable status! :lol2:

Well, I don't know whether this would end in a "non-bootable status", but I got this error message at the end of my compliation:

 

drivers/usb/net/cdc_subset.c:212:2: error: #error You need to configure some hardware for this driver
make[3]: *** [drivers/usb/net/cdc_subset.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/usb/net] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/usb] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

 

What should I do next? How to erase the files generated by this compilation, and compile a new kernel?

 

EDIT:

 

I finally managed to run my new kernel, but it still requires some work. Anyways, now I'm running my old 2.6.17-5mdv

kernel, and I found, that when typing "lsmod" as a root I cannot find "fglrx" module...

I tried to insert this mod manually, but got this error

 

[root@localhost zibi1981]# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko.gz): Operation not permitted

 

I'm using ATI's 8.32.5 drivers from their website. There is a "radeon" module listed above, but in MCC it is written that I'm using fglrx...

Hmm, I don't know what's happening to my MD 2007PP, but it seems that 3d have suddenly started to work :o I didn't do anything, I just wanted to check what "glxinfo | grep direct" command does, and it showed as below

 

[zibi1981@localhost Incoming]$ glxinfo | grep direct
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
direct rendering: Yes

 

I'm shocked and amazed, and don't know what has happened to my system.

BTW, what's "visual 0x4b"???

 

EDIT

 

I don't believe it!!! I've finally managed to run AIGLX!!! :woot_jump: I don't know how, but it works!!!

 

P.S. How to change between desktops???

Two issues yet waiting to be solved.

 

First one:

[root@localhost zibi1981]# glxinfo | grep direct
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
direct rendering: Yes

 

And the second one is related with it...

[root@localhost zibi1981]# glxgears
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

What's "GARTSize option"? How to adjust it?

Hi, I have the exact same problem, but with Radeon 9600 PRO. I have the drivers that came with Mandriva 2007 One.

Should you have fglrx installed? I tried to install the latest drivers form ATI, using custom for Mandriva 2007. That didn't work. I'm looking for a simple "walkthrough" on how to install and make the ATI drivers work!!

Well, I finally was able to install ATI Proprietary Driver using customization for Mandriva 2007. Everything went O.K. Could You describe precisely how did You try to install them on Your system? What did You do step-by-step? Maybe with that info I could be helpfull.
