My 9600XTR nightmare!

Andy@DP · 04-23-2004, 02:23 AM

Hello,
I'm still tring to get my 9600XT to work with 3D in SUSE 9.0 Pro.
I checked 3Ddiag and it came up with a few problems so I sorted them (adding lines to XF86Config) and restarted X server. No change.
So I checked the /var/log/XFree86.0.log for signs of trouble. Everything looks fine until:

Code:

(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENOMEM"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xe18e5000 at 0x40022000
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                  *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************

Could this AGP error be stopping DRI initializing properly. I lsmod'ed and found that agpgart was NOT running on my system. When I modprobe'd it worked fine, unlike RH which moaned about missing agpgart.o or something. These are the results from glxgears:

Code:

1405 frames in 5.0 seconds = 281.000 FPS
1360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 272.000 FPS

Not as bas as 86FPS (RH config) but still nowhere close to what I want! I also can't run fgl_glxgears....I get a fbconfig error.

Anyways I would be eternally grateful if someone would take time to help me sort this.
TIA,
Andy

Tried to install NVIDIA's NFORCE drivers using rpm -iv and got the following:

Code:

Preparing packages for installation...

I had the same problem with the fbconfig. That means that you dont have fglrx running. Try an LSMOD and see if it is running. If you are running gentoo you need to have it running as well as type in opengl-update ati. fb config is from the fglrx module. Here is a REALLY kickass tutorial on how to get it to run. My problem now is it wont "aquire" my agp. Lol. Other then that I am good to go.
