Just installed the ati drivers for my radeon 9000 after doing a fresh install of slack 10 cuz my old HD died, and every time i try to run any kind or 3d accel it crashes the X11 and goes right to the command line. Here is the output of my lsmod. even if i try to run glxgears it dumps the Xserver anyone have any ideas ?

running on kernel 2.6.8.1

Do you get any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Whats in /proc/mtrr and what CONFIG_DRM* do you have enabled?

There was a thread back in March on this, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=159200
you could ask 'rhyner' what happened

hi fphillips

what i ended up doing is just going back to a custom 2.4.26 kernel, re-installing the ATI drivers and works okay now.

i guess the drivers just did not like the 2.6 kernel i had compiled, i may give it another try later on though....once my head heals from banging it on the wall

i havent used the 2.6 kernel much ... i have a similiar problem though i cant use the 2.6 kernel because my 2.4 vid driver isnt compat with 2.6 big changes so i doubt this will work for you either.

[fglrx:firegl_addmap] *ERROR* mtrr allocation failed (-22)

there is a setting in the kernel for mtrr make sure you selected that... same section that you select what processor you have if i remember correctly
