ATI OpenGL is SLOW!!
I have an ati radeon 9000 pro and my opengl drivers are veryvery slow. I get 400fps tops in glxgears. I tried running quake 3 and it said i was on mesaGL, but i did opengl-update ati and it said it loaded the ati opengl driver. whats going on?

What does glxinfo say for Direct Rendering?

and fglrxinfo

Sorry for the wait
For some reason I was not emailed about your replies.
Here is the info you requested along with proof of forcing switch to ati opengl before issuing the commands. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Gentoo_64 ~ # opengl-update ati * Switching to ati OpenGL interface ... >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

"direct rendering: No" means it is not using hardware acceleration. The hw acceleration in ATI driver is broken. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you.
I use FC4 and use the livna drivers to get the hw acceleration to work. |

Thanks, those links really helped! http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers especially. I followed these steps to get the driver. I ran into another problem that i solved, I will post it here in case anyone else has the problem. When running startx, the paraphrased error "fglrx: No devices found (PCI:1:0:0)"
I looked in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the devices sections of my ati display, i saw that it was looking for PCI:1:0:1 so i changed it to PCI:1:0:0 and now X works perfectly. glxgears is at 1250fps Rocking! |
strange
I only had opengl for one session. I think it is cause i went nuts and installed like 30 games. I think quake3 installed emul linux 32bit opengl drivers. So i reinstalled my ati drivers but i still didnt have hardware opengl. im just gonna blast the system. Start over.
