8.14.13 seems to work, but I can't get direct rendering and there are no errors in my xorg log. This is just too weird. I recompiled my kernel to use the same gcc as the driver and currently I'm recompiling xorg-x11, maybe that will work.

vanilla-source 2.6.11.10
x11-xorg 6.8.2-r1
hercules radeon 8500

I have this problem, too.

I have a Radeon Mobility 9000.
X.org-logs says that dri is enabled, but neither fgl_glxgears work or glxinfo gives direct rendering enabled.
Drivers, kernel, X.org, alsa .... everything was compiled with the same gcc. (Recompiled world yesterday)

Help is welcome,

Thorir

Somehow the driver uses the wrong libGL (the libGL.so didn't change from 8.12.10).

dwerg, have you used emerge for installing ati-drivers? I do. Maybe I should install it manually.

dwerg · Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2005 1:45 pm Post subject:

Yes, I emerged it, installing it manually will probably give some problems with the location of the opengl libraries in the gentoo system.

My X850XT works without binary hack now. BTW, libGL works well after emerge.

I have the same libGL-Prob.
I've done opengl-update ati several times.

The softlink seems to be correct. I will have a closer look.

Ok, ok, I recompiled from the 4th until yesterday :-)

In case somebody asks ....

Hi, I got some problems

I have a mobility radeon 9000 on a Travelmate 804

I emerge ati-drivers, but during the emerge I see:

Disable DRM in the kernel. fglrx won't compile if it's enabled.

Has anyone figured out yet the OpenGL version problem? I have Radeon M9 and I keep getting this:

Lucacri · Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2005 3:53 pm Post subject:

It's disabled!! I't set to be a Module!

Thanks. I noticed the bug before, but sometimes people don't even use bugzilla and may have found a solution. I will just go back to 8.12.10 until something has been found.

I finally made it by installing the driver manualy via ati-driver-installer-8.14.13.run from ati's-web.

I fixed my compile problems by compiling AGPGART into the kernel, and selecting VIA Chipset support as a module. DRM is disabled. It still gives some errors during compilation, but it works now.

Cheers, Cuchu

EDIT: my card is an ATI 9500

Lucacri · Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2005 9:54 pm Post subject:

With which card?

i -had the same problem (using mesa), I installed the .run file from ati and the problem was resolved

I used the binary from ATi and haven't had a problem. There doesn't seem to be an increase in performance, but X no longer crashes when it gets restarted.

Can't even get around the libGL issues using the GUI, ATI is just so much fun...

Hi,
i got a thinkpad t42p with a firegl2. For a long time ago the ati-driver was working for me (but without acpi).
So its not really a solution to abandon acpi on a laptop.

Anyways, i got the same problem since month ago...
The DRM-Modul wont compile. The DRM support in my gentoo-(2.6.11-r9)sources is not activated.
Only agpcart ist build as a modul. The following (important) lines will show the problem:

redbyte,

Sorry, but I don't see any problems in your output, only warnings. It's the same on my laptop. Everything's working fine.

redbyte,

Try compiling the AGP-support into the kernel, with the appropiate chipset as a module. It still gave me a couple of errors during compilation, but it worked.

Cheers, Cuchu
