How-to ?

I have only a big desktop, no Xinerama with fglrx ?

Hi everyone.

I'm running Gentoo on my toshiba m30x laptop... everythinks it's perfect but the Radeon 9600 mobility M10...the driver fglrx won't work.
(ati-drivers-8.14.13-r1)
I havent tried again rececetly and I think I have not animore a log file to show... but it was a proble of fglrx_drv.o that had a lot of unresolved symbols... so X shuts down!! I resoved using the X radeon driver whit a glxgears of 360 FPS!!!

I have no time recently so I convenced myself that was a problem of my kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 or changes due of gcc-3.4.4 that i'm using... so I'm waiting for an updated driver...

If someone suggest me something or has the same problem and he passed I should "lose" time about other way I wait (no need to play some 3DwonerfullGame)...

Thanks CIAO!!!!!

You can now add the patches you need, like following

Code:

Hmm... I am fairly new to gentoo... in fact i installed it yesterday.
I want to apply these patch to the ati driver, but i do not understand these part of your how2. So can you please describe a bit closer what to do with this code that you posted?

He's showing you a diff between the original ebuild and the new, patched one, so you need to add the 1 (2) lines
preceeded by + to the ebuild in your portage overlay.

OK.

Please tell me, what I did wrong :lol:

I made a overlay dir and added it to my make.conf.
Then I made the digest and afterwards I tried to "emerge -av =ati-drivers-8.14.13" but:

Code:

johannes ati-drivers # emerge -av =ati-drivers-8.14.13
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: media-video/ati-drivers-8.14.13

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=ati-drivers-8.14.13" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-video/ati-drivers-8.14.13 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.




I tried to unmask it, but i did not get it :cry:

put in package.keywords :
Code:
echo "media-video/ati-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Did ya make sure you have the following in your kernel?:
Code:
Loadable Module Support --->
 [*] Enable loadable module support
   [*]   Module unloading

Processor type and features  --->
 [*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support

Device Drivers --->
 Character Devices --->
  [ ] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)

Kernel Hacking --->
  [ ] Kernel debugging

Try with the ebuild...U have to modify it and apply the patches as shown before.

if you have gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 older ati drivers will not work, I have the same kernel and Radeon 9700 Mobility. DRI works well with this driver (2000 2100 FPS)...

make sure u have not xorg compiled with dlloader and no cababilities enabled in xorg.config.

Hope u fixed it.

Regards

I tried the patch fix....
now I cannot start X. When I try the screen goes blank and locks. I tried to emerge the ati-drives again, I ran fglrxconfig again, and removed the fglrx from the list of mods to load at boot. I tried to boot with a different kernel. I even tried setting the AGP variable to yes, and no. But it alowas locks up after a good ol' startx. All I wanted was to race a penguin down a hill at 205km/h :(

Hello world,

did some of you managed to get ati-drivers-8.14.13 (and over) working well with the new >xorg-x11-6.8.99.8 Xorg releases ?
I remember ati flgrx driver won't work with opengl 2.0 librairies (the driver seems not to be compatible with opengl other than 1.3)!

Meanwhile, i'm stuck with xorg 6.8.99.8. Actually, i'm tired of continuously checking again and again the upcoming xorg release and see ati drivers won't be able to work in dri mode because of opengl 2.0 :(
So it would be so nicer if xorg will continue to be backward compatible with opengl 1.3 drivers.

Could some of you (who did some tests) report us their results ?
That would certainly help us to save the stratospheric ozone layer shields life by limiting the number of redondant compulations throu the world :)

Thx

Jj

@x-jojo

i'm glade to read you finally did it :)

this ebuild works, you need get this revised ebuild to let 3d work.
this is from this thread.

I'm pretty sure this driver won't work in 3d mode with xorg-x11-6.8.99.13+. Not because of some kernel incompatibilities but through lack of opengl 2.0 support ;)

Have you try xorg-x11-6.8.99.15 for instance ?

Thx

@behd

your ati-drivers is too old ;), try the last one and read the posts above. They will help you to make it work.

Hello,

I am running a gentoo-sources 2.6.12-r6 kernel and the newest ati-drivers 8.14.3-r1 on a nforce2-chipset.
I cannot get DRI working.
This is the error, perhaps someone can give me a hint.

yup searched a bit by myself to see if I could do smth... but I am more scripter than a C coder :p

I tried the 8.14.13-r1 patched with lenny fix and it works like a charm (in fact even better than before):
glxgears (IBM T42 w/ Mobility Radeon 9600):
- kernel 2.6.10 w/ ati drivers from approx. same release date: ~1300fps
- kernel 2.6.12 w/ 8.14.13: ~2000fps

Cheers Jj

--

@Jiny try to:
- review your kernel config (as described a bit above)
(NB. probably your problem atm).
- patch the r1 version with lenny fix
- in xorg.conf: Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"

ah, god it.
I used the ebuild from lenny (named it -r2 by the way, because -r1 exists) and now it works.
I cannot report a speedup, but at least it works.

So would it be best to wait for ATi to release a new driver or what? I'm having this same issue of fglrx module not compiling during emerge ati-drivers.

@jimmy jazz
i have exact the same problem as zaxor. after doing this whole stuff you said, ebuild stops with
Code:

!!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2' not specified:
!!!            None
!!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2' not specified:
!!!            None
doebuild(): aux_get() error reading ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2; aborting.

i simply created the directory structure /media-video/ati-drivers/
then i did "#( cd /usr/portage/media-video/ati-drivers; tar cf - files ) | tar xvf - "
after that, i copied the patch into the files directory. i got the original ati...-r1.ebuild from /usr/portage/media-video/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.14.13-r1.ebuild and copied into my ati-drivers directory i made.
when i do "# diff -ruN /usr/portage/media-video/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.14.13-r1.ebuild ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2.ebuild ", i don't get any messages on the console (at least he doesnt stop with an error ;) ).
finally, the ebuild command fails with the above code :(

I am jumping in on this topic, also I don't have any problems concerning the direct rendering on gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6 + ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2, but since my upgrade from kernel 2.6.11 to 2.6.12 (and the necessary upgrade of the ati-driver) I have strange graphical distortions with running a remote WinXP session (via rdp) or in vmware.

Those problems only seem to appear in the remote session window, and in the vmware guest window, and turn out to be black fields, where none should be (for example small icons in programs get a black background, or mousepointer surrounded by a black square, especially strange black graphical distortions in graphics programs). It definitely is a graphis card driver issue, and everything worked fine, before I did the kernel & ati-drivers update.

Any experienced the same problem?

I just wanted to downgrade to latest "x86" gentoo-sources-2.6.11, but strangely the 2.6.11 ebuilds have disappeared from portage. :(

No probs with me either. DRI works, nothing crashes when restarting X and there were no problems when compiling ati-drivers.
DRI didnt work with 8.14.13-r1 and X crashed on restarts, but 8.14.13-r2 works perfectly. I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6, with
Code:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART"         "no"

in xorg.conf, nforce2 mobo (nvidia_agp + agpgart), Radeon 9600xt.
