Question 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.

Thank you,

Chris

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!

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.

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
