Hi, I've installed the the fglrx driver package from the livna repo in FC6. The problem is that fglrx is still using Mesa Indirect rendering and not the ATI rendering that I would expect it to have used:
Code:
[cory@localhost ~]$ su -c glxinfo | grep direct
Password:
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
When I ran aticonfig, it did something odd to my xorg.conf and sections are doubled. Is it ok to comment/remove the sections that were not generated by aticonfig? Does it even matter? :
Code:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

EndSection
Section "Module"

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"

Anyway, I want to get rendering working correctly because the entire reason I switched to the fglrx driver was that 3d rendering with the "radeon" driver produced horribly poor perfomance. Thanks in advance for any help.
