Hello There

i have read above that you get up to 2500 FPS with glxgears, i have installed the 2.5.1 driver successfully and according to glxinfo my opengl works fine but with glxgears i get only 75 FPS
(UT2003 runs with something between 2 and 10 fps at 1280x1024).
Could it be a problem that i have compiled the radeon driver as a module? I know that i don't need it but it might be a good backup if something is extremly going wrong with the fglrx driver.

is there anyone who can help me

If glxgears are only getting 75fps, yep, you didnt install 3d support, err, properly.

You need to:

- get the matching Linux kernel source
- run "make distclean"
- setup that kernel source with the config file matching your kernel
- run "make dep" on the kernel source tree
- go to "/lib/module/fglrx/build_mod" and enter "./make.sh"
- go to "/lib/module/fglrx" and enter "./make_install.sh"


thats copy/paste from ATI instructions. I did just the last 2 steps and it worked fine ;)

I get ~2500 fps on glxgears (2561 or some such crap)

Once you get it working don't expect to play ut2003 at 1280x1024. Maybe 800x600 if you have a 3ghz processor and a Radeon 9700 pro.

OTOH, maybe my system is showing its age (1ghz and radeon 8500 128mb). UT2003 is not playable. That is the fault of the current ATI drivers. I say that 'cause UT plays pretty well here with the xig accelerated-X server (free demo only plays for about 30 minutes)

Radeon module shouldn't be a problem long as it's not loaded.

FYI
glxgears 2290 fps
fgl_glxgears 337 fps

On second thought, I could just as well say it's the fault of ut2003, since the ATI drivers , as well as the Xig and DRI drivers, have no problem with RTCW, for example.

Back to the 2 to 10 fps, that sounds about like what I'd expect at 1280x1024. Do you have any other 3d apps to test?

(need to fix links that the install deletes. This works for me but someone correct me if I am linking to the wrong files)
Code:

# cd /usr/lib

# ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1



I think you are linking to the wrong files :) You should link to the libGL.so that comes with the rpm, not the one that is renamed by the rpm, right? It's /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2

hm, i have linked the new libs but it doesn't work that way. still have around 70 fps, (btw. q3 q3 works very well).

i will try to compile the driver once again.

my system is fast enough, i get around 40 fps with my 8500 and a duron ,1,3 ghz (in ut everything set to max) in windows. I don't expect that performance from the ati linux driver.

If quake 3 works well. I'd say everything is as it should be. There just isn't good performance at the moment with ATI+ut2003.

I remember something about bad numbers from glxgears, but cant remember the specifics. Only thing I can think of at the moment is check
Code:
 ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears

look for what libGL.so is pointing at.

To put it another way, if 70 fps was a meaningful score for glxgears there is no way you'd be able to play q3.

I just installed the UT2003 Demo and it plays great at 1280x1024 with the new ATI(2.5.1) drivers. I have a AMD 1.4Gz XP and a radeon 8500LE.

Does anyone know if the 2.5.1 ATI drivers work wel with glibc 2.3 or are they 2.2 exclusive ?

I am asking because 2.3 seems to be the new default for Gentoo (emerge -p -u world lists glibc2.3).

I'm getting the same error... the following was clipped out of /var/log/XFree86.0.log...

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

... and I have no clue why. 'lspci' lists the PCI 01:00:0 device as being a standard VGA controller... and PCI 01:00:1 as being an unknown display controller. Might this have anything to do with the card being dual-display capable?

I've sent out my bug report to ATI, too... hopefully they'll put the effort into figuring out what all's going on.

I don't remember this working the first time I installed the drivers... I think I tried it at least. After having these problems, I went back and tried to install the GATOS drivers, and then upgrade X to 4.2.99... neither worked.

So re-emerged xfree, and noticed that there is an ebuild for the ati drivers (named, aptly enough, "ati-drivers"). So I emerged that, too. I also made sure to run "fglrxconfig".

After getting the same error, I went back to the /etc/XF86Config-4 file, and changed the line containing "BusID PCI:1:0:1" to "BusID PCI:1:0:0".

Now X complains about not being able to find a matching device section for "BusID PCI:1:0:1", but it does start up. I imagine what's happening is that X is searching my PCI devices, discovers that I have a second head (display adapter) located at BusID PCI:1:0:1, which I assume is my second display off of the 9000 Pro, and can't find any configuration details on it. I'm not using the second head, though... so it can complain all it wants.

Now if I can only solve the segmentation fault errors I'm getting in the driver itself... :roll:

yeah thx for this, i did this too with the ati-drivers (2.5.1-r1)
now it works, but fglrxinfo still shows me this:
Code:
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4.2
and in glxgears i get only about 66FPS :cry:
bye, jax

I had the same problem

check out your kernel

to have Ati opengl I had to clear any DRI reference in menuconfig (even as module) and reinstall drivers

now everything works :)

Now I'm getting segmentation faults within the fglrx driver itself... it only appears whenever I run Unreal Tournament or Flightgear. I tried the Mesa Demos, without a problem, when I tried to find a program a little less complex that would give me the same fault.

I did manage to fix Unreal Tournament... I changed the renderer from SDL to OpenGL. Why this worked is beyond me, unless the SDL renderer makes use of some function of the fglrx driver that's broken, and the OpenGL does not, but an idiot can figure that much out.

Flightgear only crashes with that seg fault in the driver when it's rendering night time... during the day (simulated time), it's fine. In fact, I'm rather liking the performance during the day.

I ran gdb, and managed to get a backtrace for the crash... it follows:
... *Lots of Loading going on*...
Loading tile /usr/games/lib/FlightGear/Scenery/w130n30/w123n37/942034
token = OBJECT_BASE name = 942034.btg

I also ran a strace on it... received the following:

ioctl(4, 0x4008642a, 0xbffff038) = 0

+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I have the entire stace log, if someone needs it. It's rather huge, so I didn't want to post it here.

The Flightgear user/dev mailing list weren't all that helpful... they pretty much pointed to ATI and said "Driver problem. Go to these guys..." I'm really loving ATI's support now... "Just tell us what's wrong, and fill out this form. If we have a question, we'll email you. By the way, don't expect anything." *sigh*

I'm trying to get radeon 9000pro to work with just 1 head (to get dri working) using fglrx drivers
when I disable Xinerama monitor's green light turns orange and freezes, everything is ok when Xinerama is "on" but no DRI fgl_glxgears complains that it can't get fbconfig, glxgears= 250 fps
May have to put my Geforce 2 back in.
Anyone want a radeon 9000pro

xlyz : same question here... I m waiting for a new release cause right now i can t use the console in vesafb modes (then i can t have the gentoo kernel bootsplash screen...).

I don t know about winex, but as other opengl applications are accelerated, i see no reason why winex should not work... Anyway ATI has lots of work to do cause the drivers give only basic performance vs theirs windows counterparts (see UT2003).
