ATI 9600SE 3d Accel with FC3 probs

Hi,

I have been trying to get 3d acceleration working on FC3 for weeks now with no success. I have a ATI radeon 9600SE card, using the xorg_fglrx_6_8_0-8.14.13-1.i386.rpm drivers from ATI's site.

Everything else seems to work perfectly, but just cant seem to get the 3d accel to function.

fglrxinfo gives me
Code:
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600SE Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.5140 (X4.3.0-8.14.13)
rpm -qa | grep fgl
Code:
fglrx_6_8_0-8.14.13-1
glxgears I get
Code:
2611 frames in 5.0 seconds = 522.200 FPS
2452 frames in 5.0 seconds = 490.400 FPS
2652 frames in 5.0 seconds = 530.400 FPS
glxinfo | grep direct
Code:
direct rendering: Yes
Posix shared mem seems to be enabled
df -h
Code:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdd8              35G  4.1G   30G  13% /
none                  506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdd1             9.8G  2.7G  7.2G  27% /media/xshare
I am running out of ideas on what it could be, if anyone can help me out it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Darren

Looks like your already there!

What can you NOT do?

hi,

I am trying to get cedega to work so I dont need to boot windows up as much . Cedega system test is saying everything is fine except the 3d accel test which fails.

All games that I try which are supposingly fully compatable with cedega, dont work at all. I have not had any success with any of them yet.

When I run glxgears my cpu usage is 100% with 500 odd fps. According to the forums I have searched about, I think it should be way higher fps if 3d was enabled and the cpu usage alot lower.


Thanks,
Darren

What type of frame rate do you get when you minimize glxgears? What CPU type/speed are you using?

Code:
[jscott@homedev myNetwork]$ glxgears
4332 frames in 5.0 seconds = 866.400 FPS             -- on screen
4531 frames in 5.0 seconds = 906.200 FPS
4577 frames in 5.0 seconds = 915.400 FPS
9541 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1908.200 FPS            -- minimized
18165 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3633.000 FPS
18169 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3633.800 FPS
18152 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3630.400 FPS
Code:
[jscott@homedev myNetwork]$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600SE Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.5140 (X4.3.0-8.14.13)

[jscott@homedev myNetwork]$ uname -r
2.6.11-1.1369_FC4mp
I don't know the gaming programs you mentioned, but assuming I ran the same install steps you did, this is what I get with my dual AMD 2400 MPs processors. CPU utilz is low during the test.

I built a custom kernel to have agpgart available as a module and I also made extensive changes to my xorg.conf file. Its huge but I will attach it here.

Hi,

I have a amd 3000 ghz/ 1 gig ram.

Code:
~]# glxgears
2514 frames in 5.0 seconds = 502.800 FPS   -maximized
2676 frames in 5.0 seconds = 535.200 FPS
2668 frames in 5.0 seconds = 533.600 FPS
17179 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3435.800 FPS - minimized
19342 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3868.400 FPS
19321 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3864.200 FPS
19239 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3847.800 FPS
100% cpu usage

Cedega is just the new name for the wineX emulator I think. www.transgaming.com

I have studied your xorg.conf and mine, I dont see anything that could be stopping 3d accel. Very strange.
Here it is anyhow incase you can see anything that I dont.
