SuSE 10.0 and Radeon
Hello all,
I really need some help with a couple of things, but first and foremost I need help with getting 3D acceleration working on my machine. First - system specs: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz 1,010.23 MB Linux 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp i686 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (i586) Radeon Sapphire 256MB 9600 Running Gnome and KDE (I like to switch back and forth). Ok, so I installed the ATI driver by converting the download file into an rpm and installing it through YAST2. Didn't seem to have a problem with that. This is what I have so far (according the system info: Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc Model: RV350 AP Driver: fglrx (No 3D Support Here's a screenshot of my catalyst (ATI): http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2...talyst2xx5.jpg Here's a screenshot of Sax2: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5973/sax2ek2.jpg I hope the links work!! What else... when I run glxgears I get the following: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". 1005 frames in 5.2 seconds = 194.386 FPS 960 frames in 5.1 seconds = 188.854 FPS 960 frames in 5.0 seconds = 190.190 FPS Before I installed the ATI driver I was getting 300+ FPS, which still sucks, but a lot more than 190... Also, when I look there seems to be 2 ATI catalyst installs showing. I have not gone in under init 3 to make an changes - because I honestly don't know what to change... Can anyone help?? Thanks in advance. |
Did you run
Code:
aticonfig --initial Also try to Code:
modprobe fglrx |
This is frustrating to no end. I tried Linux once before but had to resort back to Windows because I simply didn't have the time to spend countless hours trying to get the most important component of my system to work properly - the video card. I know it's because vendors aren't willing to write drivers for us, or wont open their source code for our experts to modify.
Anyway... I've tried everything I know and I still can't better than 190 FPS. Sax2 doesn't really give you any options for changes. I'm just not sure what to do at this point. I downloaded the right driver. Converted it to an rmp. Installed it with no errors/problems. I still get: Code:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". I'm new to Linux, so I need some point blank directions. Thanks |
End your session in KDE/GNOME (menue->shut down->end session) and then press STRG+ALT+F1. Log in and type
Code:
init 3 Code:
aticonfig --initial Code:
init 5 |
