Mesa, get out of my life
Hi, I reinstalled Slackware 12.0 a couple of weeks ago, and installed Dropline and other packages again. And then it came to the ATI driver. I just downloaded the ATI linux driver from their website like I always do, and installed it. It is now installed, and I can use ATI Catalyst Control Center to control screens and stuff like that, but it is not my opengl-driver. :-/
Code:
niels@niels-laptop:~$ fglrxinfo I want to play OpenArena again. :) .. Just ask for more info.. - Niels |

X and Mesa has nothing to do with Dropline. |
Did you use "--buildpkg Slackware/All" to make packages?
Did you edit xorg.conf by hand or use "aticonfig --initial" ? In my experience aticonfig makes a mess of the xorg.conf file and I have to edit it manually to make it functional. I'm far from an expert on this. But perhaps you should post which ATI card you have and your xorg.conf There are build scripts for fglrx over at slackbuilds.org they're for Slackware 12.1 but AFAIK could be modified for 12.0 Just a note: fglrx overwrites part of mesa so if you end up uninstalling the ATI drivers you must reinstall mesa. |
It works.. I installed a new kernel (2.6.25.9) yesterday, and today I gave the ati driver another try, and it actually worked. What I did?
I ran # xorgconfig and then downloaded the ati driver again, and ran it with the --buildpkg Slackware/All, then I installed the packages and now it all works. :) Thanks. |
Wait.. It doesn't really work. :-/ Glxgears looks like this: (but the FPS is way better than with Mesa)

See if you get any useful errors from
Code:
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears |
Hm, weird.. Now it's working.. :P
I'll be back if it stops working again. |
