problem moving from GeForce to ATI (x.org file)


so, i got a new radeon 9800 and im trying to get my xorg.conf file configured correctly. first of all, i am in x but its no 3d execl.


Code:
atlantis:~ $ fglrxinfo
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!

Segmentation fault
atlantis:~ $ glxgears
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
atlantis:~ $
i have tried editing my old xorg.conf file according to this post
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...n+display+0.0.
but no success. so i created one using the fglrxconfig program. it created the one i am using now, but there is no 3d excel. i tried editing the one created by the program according to the above link, but it will not even run x, it will try, and switch back the shell prompt after spitting out some errors. following this is my current xorg.conf (ati with no 3d excel)

it is advized that " Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes" " is set to "no" to use the kernel -agpgart.

but i don't think that's all.
take a look in /var/log/xorg.0.log to view the errors/warnings.

well, i really dont know what much of this means... but here are some concerns.... i am not using a nvidia card anymore, yet it says

(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.6111
Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1

here is another thing that sticks out

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

im using kernel 2.4.26 and get this
(WW) fglrx(0): could not detect XFree86 version (query_status=-3)
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *

thats was just from a quick scan, is there anything else specific i shoudl be looking for?

that's normal: it's the ID of the tv-out. ( your mon. = PCI:1:0:0 )

looks like nvidia installed a different libglx , i can't check : this pc also has nvidia.( thus the same lib )
did you see any errors ( type " grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log " )

look in this dir : /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions for file " libglx.a "
i think nvidia replaced it so you load their libglx.

ok, i am pretty sure i know what the problem is, but i dont know how to solve it... when i try to run anything, it gives me the error saying that glx is missing... but in the log, it says that i loaded properly, but its the NVIDIA one. do i need to uninstall the nvidia driver?


i have uninstalled the nvidia driver, and now glxgears will work, and this is the output for fglrxinfo

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.4 Mesa 5.0.2)


but when trying to run ut2004, i get this error...

atlantis:~ $ ut2004
Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual


History:

Exiting due to error


well, glx seems to be working properly, but ut just can not find it... for anyone that was wondering, here are the steps i used to get the driver working

1. uninstall nvidia driver with this command 'nvidia-installer --uninstall'
2. downladed the driver from ati
3. installed the driver
4. built the module in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
5. ran fglrxconfig to create an xorg.conf file
6. inserted 'modprobe fglrx' into the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file

this is what i get from fglrxinfo

should that be saying somethign about ATI not mesa?? and the fgl_glxgears doesnt work...

don't load the fgrlx-driver in rc.modules, it's loaded when you startup X.
and look at the output of " glxinfo " ; line 4 or so will give info on direct rendering.

95fps is in a window i presume ?

you'll find a clue in the xorg.0.log. "grep " warnings and errors and post them here.
and did you remove the " modprobe "-line from rc.modules ? you don't need that, and it could be that the driver is loaded to early.
i would first remove that line, startup X, and look for (WW)/(EE) in the log.

Stupid question: did fglrxconfig create a XF86Config-4 file or did it create a xorg.conf file?

Quote:
# File: XF86Config-4
# File generated by fglrxconfig (C) ATI Research, a substitute for xf86config.
Make sure the file you are trying to use is xorg.conf

it is the xorg.conf file, the last option of the utility to create it is where you should write the file to...

from looking at the warnings, it seems like find the device... but it is there..
