DISCUSSION: 3D acceleration on an ATI IGP 340M

This thread is to discuss the article titled: 3D acceleration on an ATI IGP 340M

This is pretty tricky stuff for me as I am new to Fedora, ok. That said I have gotten as far as

[root@localhost xc]# exports/lib/modules/dri/*.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

and I get:-

Segmentation fault
[root@localhost xc]#

there are loads of posts on google about this which mean nothing to me not all of this relates to the new kernel and i dont want to try to fix it with a patch that will not work. Specifically I dont want to not be able to start my system.

I got no errors during the last stage I checked this with the command u suggested with grep '\*\*\*' world.log.
Could you please help with this as I need to get up to speed as quick as I can so I can get modelling in 3d.

Thanks chap.

This technique worked for me on the first attempt.

I followed the tutorial, yet had an error on compiling, if you have, just do like me, compile as a user then switch to root, and if you still have an error, reboot and try again... if you still have an error, i dunno...

Seriously, now i can fully enjoy OpenGL games on my laptop at DECENT speeds.

Thank you so much.

There was a typo in his tutorial

before exports/.... add cp
like:
cp exports/libs/.....

I'm *attempting* an install using the howto on a Compaq Presario 2545US, on Fedora Core 2. I've been having a wee bit of trouble. After following the howto completely, I get an alert saying that the Xserver could not start. Upon viewing the details, it complains that it was not able to start a screen, adding that no screen could be detected. If anyone can offer any help, that would be greatly appreciated.

I also get a segmentation fault even though the compile works without any errors:

exports/lib/modules/dri/*.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any ideas?

Nevermind, I see the problem. Thanks above for the help! (Sorry!)

Thanks Scoob_e!!

Ur guide worked with my Slack10 box. However, I only got it working for the 2.6.7 kernel. I didn't succeed using the 2.4.26 kernel because I couldn't find any appropriate patches for the agpgart.

Thanks again, D.


I finally got it working!! An update to Kernel 2.6.27 brought agpgart to life! After that i recompiled Mesa and dri/drm and it worked! :-)

I got it working after upgrading to xorg. Excellent!!!
But only with Mandrake, I can't get it to work with Libranet (using xfree86 4.3)

I tried to perform the cvs logins/downloads but nothing happens. Once I enter

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login

and hit enter when asked for password nothing happens, it just hangs and after some time gives a warning stating that it timed out. Am I doing something wrong? I appreciate any help.

The error I recieve is (as of today):

cvs [login aborted]: connect to dri.freedesktop.org(131.252.208.82):2401 failed: Connection timed out

Are you connected to the internet?

this is what i got just after step 5. this is just the end of the process:

have you installed xorg?

hehe, of course.

now my gnome does not start.

any advice on fixing this?

Works excellent, even for FC3. Only really had to change the xorg.conf to make it work here, as FC3 seems to install DRI, Mesa, etc.

GREAT WORK, and Thank you!
