Question Radeon 9000 setup issues


Hey all

I am tiring to setup my video card to work with UT2003. I downloaded and installed the latest ATI driver and ran the config file. When I rebooted X would not start and wrote a default config. After playing around and doing some reading I removed a line in the driver section that refereed to the PCI location (1-0-0 i believe) and it worked. Now when I use Gnome's display configuration I can not select 3D acceleration but it does list the fglrx driver as being loaded. When I try and fire up UT2003 I get a splash screen and thats it. The old driver used to try and switch into 3d mode but fail. I assume this is a setup issue ?
Below is my X config could someone let me know if they see anything wrong. Also in the display setup the video card type is listed as unknown ?

Thanks

In /etc/modules.conf just add (as root) :

options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1


(Assuming that agpgart is loaded, obviously).
Try "modprobe agpgart" to see that.


Should run fine then.
Cheers !

That did not seem to have any affect and the default driver works better so I am assuming the ATI driver is not loading properly but I can not figure out why.

Thanks anyway
