ATI 9200 fglrxinfo

Shr00mBoXx · 06-08-2004, 12:44 AM

I downloaded the RPM and used rpm2tgz to convert it... used installpkg to install the drivers and ran thru fglrxconfig and restarted xfce... I cant seem to get openGL to display the Radion drivers however...

/sbin/lspci
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5961 (rev 01)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5941 (rev 01)

I would nto mind but I plan on running games on here and was just wondering what is causing this...
btw

bash-2.05b$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

there

Did you rebuild the ATi kernel module first?

Shr00mBoXx · 06-08-2004, 05:02 AM

I dont think so, I just followed the instructions that were given on the ATI site, I am new to linux and really would not know how to even do that

Ok, as root the following

Code:

 
1) cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
2) ./make.sh"
3) cd ../
4) ./make_install.sh

I've been reading the HowTo from ATI's website and also your post, finally got mine to work~!!! Well... at least the 3D screen savers don't lag anymore

Thanks~!!!

I have a Radeon 9200 and running Redhat 9, no kernel upgrades yet, going to try that later

Here's what i did:

Code:

# rpm -Uh --force <ati_package_name>.rpm
# cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
# sh make.sh"
# cd ..
# sh make_install.sh
# fglrxconfig
# reboot
# fglrxinfo

then you should get something like this:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9200SE DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.9)

One odd thing I noticed when I open the Display Settings under the Advance tab is that the Video card Type is unknown and you can't tick the enable hardware 3d acceleration...
But, its still a lot faster than before~! glxgears gives me 900+FPS, haha

Hoep to hear anybody's advice here~ CheerS~!

Can you do "ls -l /usr/src" and post the output.

Shr00mBoXx · 06-08-2004, 09:27 PM

Your kernel source is missing, you should see something like the following,

Code:

bern@beast:~$ ls -l /usr/src

Shr00mBoXx · 06-09-2004, 01:22 AM

and where can I get my kernel source...

Aussie · 06-09-2004, 01:36 AM

From the slackware cd - or you can download and build a new kernel.

Shr00mBoXx · 06-09-2004, 01:42 AM

Are you sure...b/c I know I have upgraded kernels... I used swaret to get the 2.4.26 and installed it... when i was stuck with the problem of finding the source I have always found it in another folder, which I forget as of this moment...

Aussie · 06-09-2004, 01:50 AM

just download the 2.4.26 source package from the same place you got the swaret kernel from, once it's installed it will be in /usr/src because that is where they belong.

Shr00mBoXx · 06-18-2004, 01:45 AM

Ok, I reinstalled slackware for various reasons and completed everything you told me to but fglrxinfo displays

I got that when running make_install.sh

Do "lsmod" and see if the agpgart modules is loaded.
