rldev Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Mandriva 2010 64bit ATI HD 3300 I have searched, but I have not come up with anything. It worked in Kubuntu Jaunty and Karmic.

ianw1974 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 What driver are you using for the ATI HD3300? Are you using a basic ATI or did you install the proprietary ATI driver? If not, perhaps this is the problem. Once this is installed and working, you should be able to enable the desktop effects in the usual way.

rldev Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I am using the driver Mandriva installed for it which is fglrx I believe. I tried installing ATI drivers on a the install prior to this and it knocked out xserver. Perhaps there is a how-to somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Mandriva 2010 64bit Please post 2010 problems in the Cooker forum section until the Official Mandriva 2010.0 is released. I've moved this to Cooker for you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rldev Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 OK. I followed directions here: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Updating_proprietary_drivers_from_backports When done and rebooted, xserver would not start. The log shows: fglrx: No Matching Device Section for instance. To get xserver to run, I had to comment out ATI references in /etc/X11/xorg.conf #Section "Device" # Identifier "device1" # VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" # BoardName "ATI Radeon HD 2000 and later (radeon/fglrx)" # Driver "fglrx" # Option "DPMS" #EndSection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rldev Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 OK after this, I tried using the HD Radeon Driver. Drake said to ignore broken xorg.conf, wrote a new one. Reboot and bang 3d and effects work. I compared the 2 xorg.confs and I really do not see a difference. I'm a bit perplexed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
