Mandrake 10 Official 9600pro issue
 

I have an issue, I have the hardware acceleration turned on, but when I use the glxinfo I see the acceleration as off. I have tried to install the newest drivers from ati's site, but when I go to run ./make.sh it tells me I do not have permission. And I am already logged in as the ROOT. Can someone please help me. :o

Thank you,

Chris

i had this problem also but i substituted
./make.sh to sh make.sh
and it worked

thanks guys, will try in just a moment. I appreciate your help.

Ok, this is what I'm getting.

I have not yet ran the fglrxconfig'. What sould I do?

Thanks!

Installing a radeon with 3d acceleration isn't as easy as rpm -ivh fglrx*.rpm . In fact u have to follow my post here for 3d aceleration : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=166002

I've heard also that the new drivers (3.9.0) don't need dri checked in xconfig during kernel compilataion. Try my guide and if doesn't work do it from the begining checking dri support in xconfig during kernel compilation. Good luck ! When done post results!

I'm at work, but will try as soon as I get home. I have never messed with the kernal before. Can you give me a detailed step by step guide? I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you,
Chris

In my post in the link i gave u is everything that u need to know.Don't panic!

I get...
cd /usr/src/linux
is an invalid directory.

: (

nooo hehe.
What am I doing wrong?

Post the output of "ls /usr/src". It sounds to me that either you don't have a kernel source, or your source isn't linked correctly.

That's what I get.

You didn't install the kernel-source package from install. Install it and try again, unless you plan on updating your kernel sometime soon.

You heard the man. Just install your kernel sources.It's probably in your distro cd's.To find out which kernel version u have c the output of that command : uname -a . Find that kernel source in any of your distro's cd or just download it from internet
