ATI and FC3 workaround

johnnydangerous · 02-06-2005, 05:41 PM

I installed latest driver fglrx w./ kernel patch but in lsmod seems 7 processes uses it, any workaround for fglrxinfo showing mesa?

should I rpm -e mesa GL

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Ethernal thanks for reply

edit your xorg.conf and look for

Code:

        Option      "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"

and change it to

Code:

        Option      "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

think that'll do it

check out this page, and download their xorg.conf file...it helped me...
http://www.stanford.edu/~fenn/linux/radeon.shtml

I know this page but not good enought for my radeon

so thanks for suggestion it lead to a couple of things:
1. lsmod
Module Size Used by
fglrx 226304 7 <---------- this is great but,

2.[alphonsebrown@cook ~]$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)

3.[alphonsebrown@cook ~]$ fgl_glxgears
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 16 (X_InternAtom)
Serial number of failed request: 36
Current serial number in output stream: 38

pls guys tell me any suggestions maybe to post my xorg.conf... which is quite fixed

are you using the rpm provided by ATi or the driver provided by Livna?

I feel (slightly) safer using the one provided by Livna.

I was having the same issue as you, where I still was using mesa, but after changing the AGP settings it started using fglrx.

do this command and paste it here.

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

johnnydangerous · 02-07-2005, 02:58 PM

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

also I got some msg just one or two times like
(EE) fglrx no UMM and AGP something not found on BUS.(PCI2:0:1) ..or something..... but not everytime I load gnome

do I need to specify in Driver section of xorg the PCI number?
// sorry can't copy it from console F1 or don't know how to copy to clipboard from there...

completely erase this one I guess rpm -e will do the job?

how to call linva's in Device - fglrx?

actually I finally found in linva repo the kernel module for my new kernel...

will try that

FLOODS · 02-07-2005, 10:38 PM

If you are using GPM, you can copy from a terminal by selecting the text with the mouse, and then type vim "Xorg Error" and right click. It should paste it. To write the file and quit, hit escape a few times and then type :wq and it will write and quit. You can then edit it in X with whichever editor you choose.

It would be a good idea to comment out the BusID section in your xorg.conf just for testing purposes.

Anyways, seeing the AGP error would be helpful, since that's what I'm feeling it's boiling down to.
just to be absolutely sure, you copied the XF86Config-4 file that fglrxconfig made for you to xorg.conf, and saved your original? And when you're editing this, be sure you're editing xorg.conf! If you made a link xorg.conf --> XF86Config-4, that will work also.

johnnydangerous · 02-08-2005, 02:09 AM

Floods man I'm really counting on you tell me I did rpm -e fgrlx and then restart and installed with yum the livna-unstable ati-fgrlx and kernel module and even some -dev package but now I can't open GUI with my user, just with root or another user, to debug I switched in xorg.conf to use radeon again and it's still not loading do you know why is that affecting only one user and are those the correct drivers? v.8.8.... actually I found out that previously with ati driver I had some version for XFree and it was 6.8..but it should have been for Xorg and I didn't make fglrxconfig coz you can see my conf it's better manually I guess

pls reply about livna-unstable ver. do i need the smp one? sorry right know can't log to my machine but really need advice for later, when my dumbass ISP restores the link

what's your output for that:
In X, open a terminal window, then enter "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose". Then try glxinfo again. The first few lines should let you know if the ATI driver is having trouble loading. For me, it was because I was missing some libraries located in the compat-db rpms.

johnnydangerous · 02-08-2005, 02:25 AM

I found some more at http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting

Linux: If you get this error message:

[agp] AGP not available
despite the fact that the agpgart module was loaded and initialized without problems, ensure that agpgart is loaded before the driver module for your chipset (like the radeon module). If agpgart is loaded later, the driver module will not see the AGP bus. As well, make sure that the kernel module for your agp bridge is loaded before the driver module for your chipset. For example, if your AGP bridge is an AMD Irongate (this can be determined via lspci -v and looking for the line containing AGP), make sure that amd_k7_agp is loaded before the driver module (say radeon).

how to make sure this already freakin me out AGP is loaded before the driver?

johnnydangerous · 02-08-2005, 05:37 PM

Finally got it working

)) BIG thanks to Livna.org

Just re-installed FC3 after replacing graphics card(had nvidia).
Now have 9200SE.
Updated kernel to kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3, and tried to install for that kernel to find out that there is not a rpm available for 760_FC3 there is one for 760.
Checked on livna's web site for available versions.
So still can't get vard to work.
On boot, the activation fails for that card and it defaults back to the delivered 9200SE version which seems to run too slow on glxgears, ongetting 250FPS.
Any ideas?

FLOODS · 02-20-2005, 09:19 AM

[fragile@nebuchadnezzar ~]$ uname -r
2.6.10-1.741_FC3
[fragile@nebuchadnezzar ~]$ rpm -q ati-fglrx
ati-fglrx-8.8.25.1-0.lvn.4.3

I'm using a *slightly* older kernel to get my ATI card to work. I don't see a big reason to upgrade kernels as fast as fedora does, anyways.

I'd install the livna rpm and use the slightly older kernel to start with, and then try to get it working from there.

enginama · 02-20-2005, 09:39 AM

unfortunately the only version I can upgrade to is the one I have, the previous version I have is 2.6.9.
So I am going to remove the kernel upgrade and try ati upgrade with 2.6.9 kernel and see if that works.
