ati & xorg :(

hy

I seem to be having a problem ... I've changed from win/slack dualboot, to slack only for a few days, had some troubles with some lilo-bootloader remains, but solved every problem

except for this one: yep an ATI story again
I'm using the stock slack 10.0 kernel ... as I know 2.6.x kernel can give some troubles with ATI so I just wanted a working sys

I went through a guide on these forums posted by sovietpower (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...t=ati+slack+10)
I followed it before and it worked fine but now I get some crazy stuff

The only game I play is Q3, and I kind of play it a lot, so when I installed my ATI drivers (I have a R9700pro) and I try to ran Q3, it started but everything was going really slow, 1 fps like ...

so, completely stunned, I ran glxgears:

Quote:

bash-2.05b$ glxgears
12358 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2471.600 FPS
14430 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2886.000 FPS
14276 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2855.200 FPS

this score is kinda low

some FGLRXINFO:

Quote:

bash-2.05b$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9500 Pro Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4641 (X4.3.0-3.14.6)

This I find really weird ... I know the chipset of the 9500 is kind of thesame as the 9700 one, so I do understand there's a possibility of the system seeing it as a 9500, but this is something I do not want tho

yes I've ran fglrxconfig

if somebody has any ideas ...

some glxinfo..

I've just read that kernel 2.4.x doesn't support AGP 8X, can somebody verify this? and also verify that that would mean I'd have to compile a 2.6.x kernel?
