 |
|
Ive been trying to get my 3d hardware acceleration by following the gentoo.org docs and the wiki docs. Niether of them seems to be working. The problem is, with a xorg.conf file, I get errors, and without one, x starts up but with no acceleration.
I am currently using:
Gentoo 2.6.16-r7
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1
Radeon x600 PCI Express
When I try to use radeon drivers, I get this message: http://pastebin.com/742315
When I try to use fglrx drivers, I get this message: http://pastebin.com/742325
Here is my kernel config: http://pastebin.com/742328
Any help would be appreciated. |

Two things.
1) Try upgrading to the latest ATi drivers, it may help. (You may need to unmask them first)
2) Please copy/paste the device section of your xorg.conf file. It'll make it easier for people to determine what is wrong. |

Same result with the new drivers.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0
VertRefresh 50-100
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "vga"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "** ATI Radeon (generic) [radeon]"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection |

Hi,
do you have:
| Code: | Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection |
in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
You need it for either setup. I know the 2.6.16 kernel DRM (which you have as disabled) supports the Radeon x600 but I have only used it with Xorg 7. I would lose the VGA Device Section. Also, as per your radeon driver Xorg log, fix the mouse section to use /dev/input/mice instead of /dev/mouse. I would also comment out the HorizSync and the VertRefresh from the Monitor Section as your monitor reports DDC/EDID just fine. (I have the MX75 by the way  )
The gentoo-wiki has a good page on the care and feeding of the ATI company drivers:

I had a similar issue with the drivers not located at the proper place. Could you check if the file exists at this location?
If not, could you please do a slocate in this file? |

At this point i think it would be best to start over with your xorg.conf. Backup the sections that you tinkered with for input devices, but get rid of everything else.
get the ATI drivers
| Code: | | # emerge ati-drivers |
get a basic xorg.conf
run the ati configuration utility
| Code: | | # aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf |
run "aticonfig --help" for more options.
Hope that helped,
Yinko |
