I've checked .config file from Pat's 2.6.21.5 kernel source and it seems
what cwwilson721 wrote about the need of recompiling has already been done in the slack 12.0 2.6.21.5 kernel. But plz, CMIIW.
Tnx.

For ATI Radeon user on x86

Hya,

With some i386 hardware, (I have not investigated yet.) ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run looks like to run flawlessly, but when X is killed by ctl-alt-bkspace, kernel Ooops (at least 2.6.20). Normal exit won't Ooop. version 8.40.4 does not have problem.

Happy Penguins!

P.S. I am not sure if following is related.

Sometimes my PC won't shutdown all the way, it shuts X down, but doesn't seem to shut it down any farther. And to make it worse, it won't boot in X on my other account(the non root account).
Any advice would be nice.

Is there a way to almost undo what I have changed and start again?

Yes, fairly easily. [code]rm /etc/x11/xorg.conf[\code]Then start all over.

I would first use the generic xorg.conf that xorgsetup makes, then copy it to another name, so when ATI does its 'voodoo', you would have a fallback, if needed.

Do read the first page of this thread thoroughly again:

the driver should be:

Code:
    Driver      "i810"

When I start my slackware, agppart detects my correct 845G chipset.
But when I enter my username and pass, and startx after that, the log says:

Code:
(EE) intel(0): detecting sil164
(EE) intel(0): Unable to read from DVOI2C_E Slave 112.
(EE) intel(0): Unable to read from DVOI2C_E Slave 236.
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
And nothing is been displayed ... Could somebody give me a hand with this ?

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes,
Steve

It looks to me like you've defined 'Screen 1' but are using Screen0 for X. Change the Screen selection in the Serverlayout section to look similar:
Code:
 
Section "ServerLayout"
  ...
  Screen "Screen1"
  ...
EndSection
Note you did not include your full xorg.conf config so I cannot be sure what your ServerLayout section defines.

Section "InputDevice"

# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.
#    Option     "Protocol"      "Xqueue"
# Set the keyboard auto repeat parameters.  Not all platforms implement
# this.
#    Option     "AutoRepeat"    "500 5"
# Specifiy which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1)).
#    Option     "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#    Option     "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a European
# keyboard, you will probably want to use one of:
#
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc102"
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc105"
#
# If you have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# If you have a US "windows" keyboard you will want:
#
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc104"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#
#    Option     "XkbLayout"     "de"
#
# or:
#
#    Option     "XkbLayout"     "de"
#    Option     "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#
#    Option     "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# These are the default XKB settings for X.Org
#
#    Option     "XkbRules"      "xorg"
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc105"
#    Option     "XkbLayout"     "us"
#    Option     "XkbVariant"    ""

BTW:
Code:

This seems to be an error that is showed if you have chip-set i845... I don't know if it's a driver bug or it's coming from X11 ...

Thank you soooo much I followed the tutorial to the word and I got these results on my ibm t42p 2.10GHZ FireGL T2 2GB RAM

default small window
9623 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1924.441 FPS

switch to full screen

back to small window
9327 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1865.319 FPS

small window again
4101 frames in 5.0 seconds = 820.133 FPS

Tada! BIG THANKS!!! I had to experiment with some settings, I had a few crashes, but other than that for now its fine.

it's really a rush to the head when you can figure something out for yourself. especially when its something like hardware graphics acceleration. if your doing 3000 fps on 1400x1250 your doing real good

cheers

This is the true fps. Yet, glxgears is NOT a benchmark ! See how much you get when playing games, that's what's important.
