Hi guys!
I upgraded my graphics card over summer (GeForce4 Ti 4200 --> ATI 9600 XT) and boy do I regret it since I do OpenGL with linux. My OpenGL programs run at the same speed or sometimes better on my GeForce4 Ti4200 than my ATI 9600 XT!
Anyway, I haven't done much in the way of programming in OpenGL but recently noticed that anti-aliasing doesn't quite work with the fglrx drivers (they do close to nothing). And now, I have just upgraded to the 2.6.10 kernel and re-installed the fglrx drivers, and it seems to have made it worse. If I turn anti-aliasing on during the OpenGL programs that I coded, the console returns
Code:
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!!
FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Function not implemented)
__FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!!
FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Function not implemented)
__FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!!
ad-infinitum until I terminate the program. Any ideas on what is going on and how I can fix it? I didn't update my xorg.conf since the driver + kernel update but I don't think that it should have this effect (please tell me if I'm wrong). Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
i just thought i'd say thanks for the post. it worked for me as well.
