Thanks for reply cwwilson721
I've commented out Code:

Look at this post, it demonstrates why kernel updates can be a huge boost (But ATI experience can/does/will vary...lol) |

Uninstalling video and re-installing w/this upgraded Xorg did restore my DRI. |
BTW, everybody, thanks for the votes! Much appreciated.

Hi.
Still can't make ati's driver work. I still need to startx twice. But this is what i've found (more like stumbled upon). I've messed up the kernel and reinstalled 10.2 again. During boot process agp reports this Code:
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann Code:
Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones |
No error. That's the normal output.

Update: Disaster, maybe not...
Had a small boo-boo happen to me last night:
I was testing fan settings in my laptop and had to go do things with the kids. By the time I got back, the hdd was too hot to be considered anything but a doorstop. Luckily, I had another identical drive, so.... Previously, I made a mirror of 'current' on my nfs server, which turned out that I needed, because the only copy of 10.2 I had left the kids turned into modern art with a screwdriver... So, I booted up a 10.0 cd, started setup, an installed 'current' from the nfs server. Yes, dear reader, I went to the 'dark side' The results? Well, since I did it as a coherant install (not as a willy-nilly 'upgrade'), everything seemd to be working ok. xorg is now 6.9, kde 3.5, etc. No issues so far. DRI? OK, here is a excerpt from a previous post using 2.6.15 and 6.8: Code:
root@toaster:~# glxgears Now? Code:
carl@toaster:~$ glxgears Now, I have to do alot of tweaking, getting bookmarks, etc. Have fun, all |
WOWOWOWOWOWOWO! Holy Cow, That's insane FPS jump!
I wish: 1. I knew how to make a mirror of current. 2. I knew how to do NFS 3. I knew how to install slack over a network. 4. How to get the kids to stop messing up my stuff LOL :D I can't wait for Slack 11. Nice job. |
Send me an email, fogie, to my yahoo account (My other server is down while I switch server software), I'll help walk you through doing that stuff

Hey all.
Great news, finally i've got it. ATI's driver finally is working out. :p :p Kernel 2.6.14.7 Ati driver 8.24.8 Kernel (agp section) is configured like this: Code:
CONFIG_AGP=m No need to startx twice, glxgears gives 3000+ FPS Could this be because of the SiS on agp report cwwilson? I've only used agp/dri and ati as modules. Added SiS and it's working. Thanks all of you for your time and effort. By the way nice going last night cwwilson |

Hey I just got my nvidia card working on my laptop using the nvidia binary on the site. I tried it twice before when i first installed slack but for some reason it destroyed X11. About 5 installs later, now that I am happy with my install (i have sound working, along with cpu frequency stepping) I figured I might as well try again.
It worked like a charm this time, the only thing I did diffrently as far as the binary goes, was saying not to look for it on the website. I don't know how much of a diffrence that could make but thats what I did. Also I eliminated about 5 steps I was doing while compiling my custom kernel after install. The steps involving making modules and installing them. I found they were destroying my alsa. Apparently they screw up nvidia drivers too? I'm not sure of the details obviously but now I have 3d! Just a few questions. Now that I can run GL what can I do besides games and nice screen savers? Is there ways to enhance regular old computer using? Like REAL transparency for windows instead of the "fake" kind used for Aterm? Does using the nvidia card really take that much work load off of my CPU? I am sure I have more questions but I can't think of any right now. Thanks for making this post, it gave me the courage to try again where I failed before. |
