FireGL mobility 9000


Ok, I've read countless tutorials and changed a million settings and I can't get my video card to work.

System Specs:
Compaq Evo N800w laptop
P4 2.2 GHZ
512 MB RAM
64MB FireGL Mobility 9000
Fedora Core 0.94

Ok, now I've installed the official ati drivers which are now compatible with XFree 4.3 at least that is what ati claims. Now I can run things like glxgears and fgl_glxgears fine, but I think my problem is with DRI. I've set my permissions and everything so that it should work for all users, but it doesnt. When I try to use Wine to run a game, I get this error:

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 57
Current serial number in output stream: 59


I have no clue what this means cause I'm not very experienced with linux yet. I've run the command glxinfo and I get this back:

I can verify that the drivers are working with the fact that I'm pulling 300+ fps with fgl_glxgears and about 1500-1800 fps with glxgears and I wan't getting that before.

I will post my XF86Config-4 here if needed, thank you for your time.

Ok, I figured that out, there was something wrong in my users config and I just copied the error out of my roots config (how that ever got there is beyond me) and all was good. Now onto other miscellaneous errors and problems. Btw, at the menu screen for Counter-Strike I can reach almost 300 fps at 1024x768 which shows progress, but thats just the 2D performance.

Well time to fix the errors.
