problem with the new ati linux drivers (version 8.10.19


I am running two monitors off of an ati radeon 9600 all-in-wonder. Everything is working fine until I try to run something that needs OpenGL support, then it will shove the window to the left half of the left-hand monitor, looks like it is showing about half the screen but not sure. I have tried everything to fix this, even switched my monitors around with no luck. HELP.

Thanks for the time,
Scott Adams

Prior to upgrading to the new driver did the old driver also exhibit this peculiarity?

Also, what prompted you to upgrade to the new driver?

And, have you tried DRI yet? http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATI

ati linux friver

I am using the newest drivers because that is the one that is available for download from ATI. I installed Fedora Core 3 on my desktop and went to ATI and downloaded the driver available there, the newest one avaiable. I did not test the system with the default radeon driver that comes with Fedora Core 3, but I read several items on the web about the ATI drivers and that they run better than the standard radeon. Everything else runs fine, just have problems with OpenGL stuff. And of course ATI does not support their driver, or so they say.

There's a complete HOWTO for ATI drivers at http://www.fedorafaq.org if there is no support from http://dri.freedesktop.org for your ATI All-In-Wonder 9600.

BTW, is this the All-In-Wonder 9600 XT, All-In-Wonder 9600 Pro or just a plain All-In-Wonder 9600?
