fglrx with 2.6.11.11 on slack?

Try defining other resolutions in your xorg.conf. I see only one.

Well, i'd like my desktop rez to stay as 1680x1050 =)

And my games to streatch their rez to fit my screen..

Ah, now this I can probably help with ...

A game running at 800x600 on a 1280x1024 desktop will not (like 'dows does) resize your desktop to fit the game res. The solution? Use another screen that *IS* the right size.

I wrote a script that will start an empty X session that's the right size as your game, and fill it with your game. It's called "run" (Obscure Program Launcher) - you shouldn't need to do much to it to get it to work, but you will have to edit your Xorg.conf file again to provide some different screen resolutions. Hopefully you can use your intelligence to understand it's workings, I haven't had time to write any proper instructions.

Embarassing note:
I've made a note in my diary, xorg.conf needs to be on the bloomin' site.

Ok, slowly getting there..

Nice script. I've added Diablo into it, fired it up, but i do get this screen error

Code:

games[6]="cedega /root/.transgaming/drive_c/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II/Diablo\ II.exe"
res[6]="800600"
depth[6]="16"

My Xorg.conf is updated once more in the other thread. From what i see, everything is working, so i'm not sure why it doesn't like my screen settings.

Problem is here:

Code:

(EE) No Screen section called "800600"

You need to add some extra sections into your xorg.conf. Again, I don't have an ATI, so I'm just guessing. The idea is to have a separate "single headed" card setup, so you can basically disable the spare monitor while you're gaming (ctrl+alt+F7 will push you back to your main desktop if you started X before running the script).

Code:

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
#  Single screen setup for gaming!  #
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#

# Single headed device, effectively.  I guess you could set it to use either monitor.
Section "Device"
	Identifier	"SingleScreen"
	Driver		"radeon"

	ChipID 0x4c66
	Option "Overlay"
	Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
	BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
	Option "DCCMode" "on" 

	Option	"MergedFB" "False"
	#Option "MonitorLayout" "LCD,CRT"
	#Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "true"
	#Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050-1280x1024"
	#Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050-1024x768"
	#Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf"

	Screen 0
EndSection

# Screen listing - this is where the resolution comes into play.

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "800600"
    Device "SingleScreen"
    Monitor     "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
	Modes       "800x600"
    EndSubsection

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
	Modes       "800x600"
    EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "640480"
    Device "SingleScreen"
    Monitor     "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
	Modes       "640x480"
    EndSubsection

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
	Modes       "640x480"
    EndSubsection
EndSection

Because you're starting xinit with explicit commands, it'll mostly override whatever you've put in Server Layout. I'm hope the script works for you!

On a side note, ATI released new drivers today..

8.14.13

New features:

Quote:

# Quad Buffer Stereo (QBS) support is now working for all ATI FireGL™ products that support QBS

# ATI FireGL X3 products now support dual-link enabled display devices

# The ATI Proprietary Linux driver Driver now falls back to a single-link mode if the card or connector does not support dual-link mode

# The DGA and RandR X Server extensions are now capable of loading simultaneously when using the ATI Proprietary Linux driver

# Intermittent error messages such as, [fglrx:firegl_alloc_bufs] *ERROR* Failed to create buffer queue (-12) and similar, no longer appear in the kernel output

# OpenGL based applications that have common symbol names to that of the libGL library no longer experience intermittent erratic behavior

# Applications using certain OpenGL calls such as, glTexSubImage no longer results in a driver memory leak

# When running in clone mode, the X server no longer crashes with a segmentation fault if the mouse is moved during a mode switch

Erm, just to note,

I'm on a emachines laptop at the moment, amd64. I just installed 2.6.12.2, and fglrx fails to compile with an error. The first patch works, but the second fails 6 out of its 8 instructions... It didn't help here =/

Code:

Yep, i'm stumped.. And i tried both the x86 and x86_64 versions. same thing.
