ATI, again


Ok, so I know you all are sick of the ATI questions, I certainly am too. I've searched the forums, searched google, and can't figure out how to get my OpenGL to work correctly. 3d games don't work well (counterstrike for instance) OpenGL screensavers get very very low fps. You know, the same symptoms that every one here has with regard to ATI drivers.


The rundown:
Slackware 10.1
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb - using the X.org 6.8 v8.12.10 drivers from ati.com published 4/7/05
Pentium 4 2ghz system, 512 MB ram

When I installed, i ran an installpkg on the driver (converted it first to tgz, of course)

ran sh make.sh
ran sh make_install.sh

ran fglrxconfig

like I said, everything but 3d works fine. resolution, etc.

my xorg.conf file:

Code:
crithke@slack:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)
obviously a problem. I don't know, however, how to fix it. I have, at certain points in my long endeavour to get this to work, seen the correct ATI information here, with the same results as before.

When I run modprobe fglrx, the module can't be located.

I have run the check.sh file from ati.com and have established that I do, in fact, have x.org 6.8 on my computer.

I have tried the steps outlined here:
http://www.rage3d.com/content/articl...Linux_ATI.html

and all that managed to do is break my sound. The soundcard is not found anymore (if anyone has any help regarding that little problem, I'd be appreciative as well. )

If anyone can help, I would be very appreciative, and any more information you need me to provide, I can certainly tried to do so.

Thanks in advance

I've been working on this issue for quite some time and it's gotten very very old. I've read everything I can get my hands on, searched for everything, but to no avail, I can't get my Radeon 9800 installed. I recently updated to kernel 2.6.11.7 to try and solve the problem, but this has caused it's own problems.

I installed the driver from ATI, went to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod and tried an "sh make.sh"

the output:
Code:

Obviously, it's failing

I tried to patch it using the patch outlined at http://kerneltrap.org/node/3298 but only go the error:

Code:
root@pork:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod# patch -p1 <fglrx.patch
patching file agpgart_be.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 17: set_bit(PG_locked, &page->flags);

Does any one know how to fix this. I'm going insane. Everything works fine until I try anything that requires 3d rendering.

This is where I sit now. Any ideas?

you will probably be needing to use fglrxconfig

I have my ATI 9800 going fine with graphics exceleration support and its nice.

check this out....this can be applied to all distrubutions and not just gentoo.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml

when it says emerge package name just find that rpm or source and install it for your distrubution.

good luck

EDIT OOPS sorry I didnt see the part where you said you already tryed fglrxconfig

I'm having the same problems, with the same config - have you had any luck?

I checked out the gentoo site, but did not find anything to use there.

Tomalak - I am still having the problems

Since upgrading to 2.6.11.7 I still get this:

Code:
crithke@slack:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)
Any other ideas?

If you could post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log we'll see if there's anything interesting in there. Also, you may want to check your dmesg after you start x in order to see what errors it gives you.

Good luck.

I had the same error as crithke, but I've now got the driver working. What I did is this:
1) Make sure the module "agpgart" is loaded. If it's not, either load it with modprobe or recompile your kernel with Device Drivers/ Character Devices/ /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) compiled as a module.
2) Find out what chipset your agp slot is using. Type lspci to do this. You'll get a bunch of stuff but something in there should mention AGP. On my system the AGP entry looks like this:
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8377 [KT400 AGP] Host Bridge (rev 80)
This means that my motherboard has a VIA KT400 chipset. Now, load the corresponding kernel module with modprobe (in my case it's via_agp). if you don't have it, recompile the kernel with the right module (it's in Device Drivers / Character Devices / /dev/agpgart (AGP Support). Make sure to compile it as a module, not into the kernel.
2B <- Optional) You may also have to disable MTRR support when recompiling your kernel (under Processor Type and Features). Some people have reported problems with it enabled. Mine's disabled and it works fine, but I haven't tried doing the process with it enabled.
3) Once those two modules are loaded, run the two patches listed above, then build the fglrx module again using the make commands. If all three modules are loaded properly, it should work. When you reboot the computer however, you may have to either manually load the motherboard agp module again, or edit modules.conf or modprobe.conf to make it load every time.

Hope this helps you guys too, any questions just ask. It took me a good couple of months to figure out, and a whole lot of reading .

Cheers

Ok, I'll have to try all that - Ovalteen, you may have saved me on this one!

Now, where do I apply those patches?

/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod

In that directory, run patch -p1 < /path/to/thepatch for each patch (in the order above). Then run make.sh in the same directory (build_mod), then go back to the fglrx directory and run make_install.sh .

Another useful source of info for any problems that might come up (and some additional kernel config info) is here. It's intended for Gentoo users but most of it is applicable across all distros.

Let us know how it goes .

Cheers

Note that the third line of the 2nd patch has "1664"s instead of "1663"s like your patch has. Could be significant, and there may be other differences between the two.

Also, could you post the output of lsmod and lspci so we can make sure you have the right motherboard agp module loaded? That would be useful.

Give this shot and let us know how it works out .

Cheers

I'm still getting the same error messages when I try those patches (both the ones from you and the ones before). Any Ideas? -Bill

GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here's the thread;
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=319984

Downlaod that patch and use it - well, it worked for me when the other ones didin't!
I made sure I had kernel 2.6.11.7 or better - and that module loading was in

I was able to compile the driver, and make xorg.conf with fglrxconfig! glxgears gave me 4000fps, so I knew it was working - however anything GL gave me this scary error:
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_3.14.6.html - the very last section (3D Applications Produce "Open of Shared Memory Object Failed" Error Message) was my error, and it turns out all you have to do is modify fstab to mount tmpfs. Now glxgears works great, and fgl_glgears loads!
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me through this, and I hope this solution is what others are looking for! -Bill

It should be noted that the drivers, while working, still suck pretty badly. This isn't really anything you can fix, it's ATI's fault. Please, let them know - I've already signed about 10 petitions to get them to shape up, it's sad how they leave 'nix users in the dust like this. I almost bought an nvidia becaue of this. (and nvidia is how I'll go in the future!)
