Hi,
first my system:
board: Epox 8K9A2 with Via KT400 chipset
cpu: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton)
grafik: Radeon 9600 Pro (128MB)
the problem:
I installed Mandrake Linux 9.2 for the first time.
After installation i could'nt start KDE, cause the graphicscard has not been configured.
Then i downloaded the last ATI-Treiber und installed it. After execution of "fglrxconfig" i could start KDE. "glxgears" reports me about 100fps. "fglrxinfo" means that the MESA driver was activ.
After hours of recherche in several forums i now have the kernel 2.4.22-26mdk installed. "DRI" is compiled into the kernel and "AGPGART" als Modul.
All of the work for nothing.
Code:
[root@localhost root]# modprobe agpgart
/lib/modules/2.4.22-26mdkcustom/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: init_module: Invalid argument
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-26mdkcustom/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o failed
modprobe: insmod agpgart failed
[root@localhost root]#
dmesg means:
Code:
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 690M
agpgart: Detected Via Apollo Pro KT400 chipset
agpgart: unable to determine aperture size.
then i installed the actual driver from ATI and so the "fglrxinfo" says
Code:
[root@localhost root]# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE
OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.7.0)
OpenGL seams to be active, but what about performance?
Code:
[root@localhost root]# glxgears
322 frames in 5.0 seconds = 64.400 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.000 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.000 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.000 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.000 FPS
Has anybody an idea?
