FC6 and fglrx

diego_cn · 12-13-2006, 10:41 AM

hello,

I am trying to get 3D acceleration to work on my laptop, which has a ati 200m chip.

So I yumed kmod-fglrx and xorg-x11-fglrx-drv from livna, then changed xorg.conf file:

Driver "radeon"
to
Driver "fglrx"

and added:

Code:

Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

now I restart X, glxinfo | grep rendering gives me:
direct rendering: No

and fglrxinfo gives me:
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 6.5.1)

It seems that I am not using fglrx.

However when I check my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, there is a line:
(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled

which indicated direct rendering is enabled. Now I run out of ideas how to fix it. Appreciate any helps. Thanks.

btw, here is a more detail version of Xorg.0.log file, sorry cannot post the whole log because it's too long.

regards

here is the result:

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

There is no error. Beside I changed my xorg.conf a little bit so now it looks like:
