Hello, I'm having a few problems getting my video card to work properly on my fresh reinstall of slack 11.0. using the ATI fglrx driver 8.34.8 installed from the .run file. Currently available from ATI's Website:
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...ux-radeon.html
First off, there is a significant lag starting X.org from the console, 7 seconds or so, and I believe the following section from Xorg.0.log explain that, but I don't know how to stop it.
Xorg.0.log
Code:
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID PCI:2:0:0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card1
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1023
...
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card254
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1023
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmGetBusid returned ''
* Gratuitous repetition edited out.
For whatever reason, it's probing cards0 to card254 before finally settiling on card0. I've checked /dev/dri and only card0 exists. Any advice on getting this to stop?
Secondly, when trying to run a glxgears under a normal user account, I get about a dozen repetitions of the following error. I am getting proper frame rates for my card, (2700fps area), but the error is still bothersome, and I'd like to take care of it before moving onto more aggressive 3d applications.
Code:
FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Permission denied)
__FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!
This is something that doesn't appear when running as root.
in previous net searches I've found that it typically has something to do with the tmpfs filesystem not being enabled. I've remedied that but it doesn't seem to help.
I know that these are minor errors and probally don't effect system stability, but I know that linux can run error free, espicially slackware if anything. Any help you can provide would be greatly appriciated.
