Unhappy Problem with ATI 9200 SE Installation


Im new on this forum altough i had search for manual installation for my radeon 9200 SE on mandrake linux 10

first i had download the ati driver and installing it by manual like this ...

# all of this done by console
removing default ati installation by mandrake since 3d acc not work
rpm -ivh --force filename # installing ati driver i got from ati website
rmmod radeon
rmmod ati
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
downloading ati driver patch
patch -p1 < ../ati_driver_patch_name
sh make.sh
sh make_install.sh
insmod fglrx
rebooting my computer
doing fglrxconfig

after that im trying the X
but when im doing fglrxinfo this is what i got

Loading required GL library /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www_mesa3d_org # forum not allowing me posting a url cause im a newbie
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

on dmesg info i got this

Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 198 MBytes.
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 3.7.6 [Mar 5 2004] on minor 0
[fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 1459 using kernel context 0

on X log i got this

glxgears only show me low fps
when i try to do fgl_glxgears it show me like this

[root@r18 Master]# fgl_glxgears
Loading required GL library /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
Error: couldn't get fbconfig

when i put UseInternalAGPGART to no or yes on the XFree86Config-4 the result for X log same like this ...

(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering disabled
(**) fglrx(0): Video overlay enabled on CRTC1

Is the fglrx module built for your kernel version?

I have an ATI Radeon 9200 SE running under Gentoo and had no problems getting it to work.
