Alright... This seems to be a weird formatting error.

You can download the patches exactly as they are, as they *work* on my system with clean fglrx source.

They are patch1 and patch2 in the directory listing here

Yea! Shade and I just went through this. Just don't change the files at all (don't add .patch)! They work great! Shade's the greatest man alive: whoooooh!

Cheers,
Galen

Nope... getting alot of problems.

Was getting a LOT of warnings and errors in the compilation. So evenutally i disabled agpgart and DRM from the kernel. Now i'm down to two errors...

When typing sh make.sh, i get this
Code:

done.
==============================
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
==============================
But fair enough, it says Done... however,



When typing sh make_install.sh, i get this error
Code:
 root@xushitop:/lib/modules/fglrx# sh make_install.sh 
- creating symlink

Checking dmesg gives me this

the agp errors are part of you not having the agpgart enabled as a module. whenever I enabled it in my kernel, those problems went away.

When i enabled agpgart, i got 10 times the errors, it wouldn't install properly, and it kept conflicting.

Everywhere else and everyone else i talk to, they keep telling me to disable both drm and agpgart from the kernel.. (confused)

Xushi... I always run with the kernel's agpgart enabled as a module. You *will* get unresolved symbols like that, because the kernel doesn't know what agp is right now.


Suggestion: The borked patches might have messed up the fglrx build directory. rm -rf /lib/modules/fglrx and reinstall the package, run the *good* patches on the clean source, and try again with DRM excluded but agpgart INCLUDED as a module in your kernel source.

Your method, despite the warnings, allowed for the drivers to be installed. But now, X refuses to use fglrx, and i'm stuck with agpgart and no direct rendering, leading to even slower results than the 'radeon' driver.

exit X and rmmod/modprobe fglrx again. Check dmesg for any errors.

Don't know what's up, that all looks fine.

I know what you mean...

X just refuses to load up fglrx.. and even if i load it up manually, it doesn't use it, as you can see
Code:

That's after i manually loaded it.. and dmesg is fine
Code:
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.

I guess my problem might be with xorg.conf.. since i did do some mods to it today.. Nevertheless, i'll paste it here to double check..

aaaaaaaaaaah!

(WW) fglrx(0): Direct rendering is not supported when Xinerama is enabled

Solved
Many thanks, turns out it didn't like me experimenting with xinerama... (shame).

Now glxgears gives me 2116fps instead of 250fps again =)

Thanks, but i still wont be able to play any game...

I still have the same problem i've had for the past year... The games won't streatch to fill my screen. So say diablo 2 or quake 3, if on 640x480 or 800x600, it will only be a small screen on the bottom left corner , and the rest of the screen filled with funny colors...

I can't use a bigger rez as that sreiously kills the performance (even the mouse you move, wait a second, then it moves)...

I still can't find a solution to this, for the past year
