ShadowFoxLSU Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Unfortunately for me I have an ATI card. So I decided to install the linux drivers. No problem, reboot. X cant find the device fglrx at PCI 1:0:1 . No prob, went on line and read that you should just remove that line from the XF86config-4 file. Now X works, but I have no hardware acceleration (fgl_gears will not run) and Enmey Territory will only run in software mode. How should I fix this? For some weird reason I think it is just a simple 1 line command in the XF86config-4 file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 This is (obviously) not an answer to your question - but why do you think you are unfortunate to have an ATI card? Which Card do you have - this might make a difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germ Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 I use a Radeon 7500 and here's my modules section: Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer Load "dri" # direct rendering Here's my device section: Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "ATI Radeon" Driver "radeon" Option "DPMS" Option "AGPMode" "4" #Option "EnablePageFlip" The EnablePageFlip option will sometimes increase frame rates, it did not for me.

Germ Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 From your config: Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "ATI Radeon" #Driver "radeon" Driver "fglrx" Screen 0 BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "DPMS" #lots of options from ati config I think you need to load the radeon driver, I'm pretty sure fglrx is the driver module for the FireGL card.
