| you dont want DRI support in the kernel if your going to use the fglrx module. and its best to have agpgart compiled as a module. if your using an Epox board you need to grab this patch to get the agp going right. Epox strayed on the way they build the nforce chipset so things are a little different. ive also heard that the mm* and love* dont like the fglrx module either. try 2.6.0-test9 10 or 11. or go back to 2.4.22 where you dont have to do any of this. you'll also need mtrr compiled in. after you get your kernel setup correctly make && make modules_install add agpgart and your chipset module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel2.6 . opengl-update ati and reboot. remember that if your using alsa you may need to recompile it also. |

hi.
a short question: Why do not use the internal apgsupport of the fgrlx module? it works great for me.  |

Not sure but I think the kernel agpgart is a little faster.

This was the only other warning for fglrx that was shown.
DRI is still not loading, and OpenGL still is running in software-emulated mode.
Any other ideas, or other things to look at? |
I also got this annoying error before trying the lasst gentoo-dev-sources. Since then, I don't have any error anymore and x just runs fine.
Cheers,
Sébastien. |

Any help ? |
Are you sure you're emerging this as root? If not, do "sudo emerge ati-drivers"... if so, try checking the permissions of .tmp_versions/fglrx.mod (should be in the /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-3.2.8/work/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod directory according to the above...)

hmm... stupid me and mounting the /boot directory... i found 3 different kernel images in the mountpoint directory... that means at least 3 times i built my kernel the changes never made it to the running configuration because they never made it to my boot partition... i rebuild my kernel often enough, maybe i should make /boot automount at startup... anyways, i got the new gentoo-dev-sources (test11-r1) so i'm going to try with those.
Thanks for the ideas! (crossing my fingers...)

@NewBlackDak
These values are generated by your overclocked Athlon?
@Joffer
What are your fgl_glxgears stats?

OK, I'm stumped... I've tried everything in this guide and the following comments to no avail. I've tried compiling the kernel with and without the DRM, using the kernel agpgart and the fglrx agpgart, compiled with make clean every single time, fixed the problem with me accidentally dumping my new kernels into an unmounted /boot directory, tried screwing with the BusID and Screen directives in the XF86Config file... but I keep getting the same error. First I get the "drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)" and "drmOpenDevice: Open failed" errors, and then '(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"'. I think i'm gonna have to contact ATI with this...

Try rebuilding your kernel after a 'make mrproper' in your kernel src directory and don't forget to symlink /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test10-r1 to /usr/src/linux (I usually rm /usr/src/linux-beta /usr/src/linux then ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test11-r1) you could also give gentoo-dev-sources a try.

Sébastien. |

I'll try doing a make mrproper but i'm using a brand-new gentoo-dev-sources... and my symlinks are already correct. And i've rebuilt my ati-drivers after each kernel modification.

ok, more random stabs at what might be keeping the ati-drivers from working... let me know if any of the following are know to cause problems with the ati-drivers:
IMPI
hardware sensors (I2C)
framebuffer console support
I seriously doubt any of these cause problems, but i guess it's worth asking... I think the problem is just that I'm using an ECS L7S5A motherboard, which doesn't seem to be fully supported by either the kernel or the fglrx module... I sent a complaint in to ATI but they said not to expect a reply. Looks like i'm buyin a new mobo.

| Hmm, I was thinking about asking the grandparents for a video card this christmas... I guess this means it's safe to go with an ATI card? The thing that NVIDIA has going for it is driver support... |

I couldn't get the fglrx module to load with "framebuffer console support" compiled in.
Yes, those numbers come from machine #1 in my sig.

got the 9800 pro working, thanks for the howto,
the step i missed was to add fglrx to the:
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
this wasn't part of my 2.4 autoload, it worked anyway, don't ask
thanks again |

Nos- sorry I've been away from the forums for a while. I think essentially that your problem is for some reason, gentoo won't load agpgart. Try this (sorry if its redundant- I find that if I start over from square 1 I can work through solutions) Configure your kernel (2.6) as the following:
Take out ACPI/Power Management (I don't have it, work it in <I>after</I> you get the drivers working)
Compile MTRR into your kernel
Compile agpgart as a module
Compile sis-agp (support for the chipset) as a module
Make sure DRI support is NOT in the kernel
Take out any "extra" things you don't really need yet (framebuffer, wireless, etc)
In your modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 add the following lines:
agpgart
sis-agp
Remove the current ATI-drivers with: emerge -C ati-drivers
Reinstall them and run fglrxconfig
EDIT: Remember to use the _external_ agpgart- not the one included with ati's drivers
If you have an AGP card make sure you change the BusID to (I think, not in linux atm) 1:0:0
Remember to type opengl-update ati!!!!
Try and enter X at this point. Let me know what happens. |

| type glxinfo....I'm sure you are not getting direct rendering (its at the top) When you are in X, type lsmod to see if the fglrx module is loaded- I'm thinking that it isn't. |
