Quake 3 and Radeon
Hi all
I am having trouble with Open GL and my Radeon 9800 Pro on Fedora Core 4. I try running Quake 3 Arena and get this: Quote:
Using Mesa GL is no way playable. My setup: Pentium 4 2.4 1GB RAM Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB Fedora Core 4 kernel 2.6 custom compiled fglrxinfo gives: Quote:
Hope you guys can help out Thanks in advance |
That output from fglrxinfo tells me that the drivers haven't been installed correctly. You should be getting something like this:
Code:
display: :0.0 screen: 0 Install the drivers themselves via rpm. Get out of the desktop environment and to the console for this next part. Code:
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ That should build the modules. You should probably backup your xorg.conf file before running fglrxconfig again, just to be safe. Then run fglrxconfig in the console, write to your xorg.conf file, and you should be good to go. Good luck. |
Thanks for replying wolorf
lsmod shows: fglrx 430560 0 I have tried several times to install the drivers, also in non-graphical mode. Perhaps a fault is in here somewhere? from xorg.conf Quote:

From what I gather, the problem is Mesa3d conflicting with ATI's OpenGL. I'm gonna try uninstalling it, but it doesn't look easy.
Is there anything I should know about before I go and do this, is there a chance I will mess up my display altogether? Why didn't I just get an nVidia . . . Edit: Seems Direct rendering is disabled: Quote:

Well the one thing that sticks out for me is the line from your xorg.conf that says:
Code:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes" Code:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" |
Thanks for getting back to me wolorf.
Unfortunately, having UseInternalAGPGART as NO makes no difference. I am rebooting to start the X server, as init 3 causes my computer to hang at Sending the TERM signal or something, and then have to add runlevel 3 into the boot optoins in GRUB. By the way, running make.sh in runlevel 3 AND 5 brings this: Quote:

Do you think having a custom compiled kernel is interfering? Edit: Got a package from here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/ and the latest Radeon driver, and am going to attempt to install that. Hopefully that will work. I'll keep you posted. Another edit: I done that [previous edit] but no luck. DRI needs Xfree86 to be installed - no mention of X.org It is getting a little late, I'll probably leave it till tomorrow or so. |
