 |
|
I own a T60p with following videocard:
| Code: | | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [ATI Mobility FireGL V5200] |
The 8.24.8 works fine, but not any 8.25.x version.
I always get the following error in dmesg:
| Code: | | [fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 1553 using kernel context 0 |
Does somebody have a working T60p with 8.25.x drivers or is this a general issue.
Searched the forums 3dRage forum whitout any imediate success.
There are people that have successfully used this HW/SW combination:

Any hints on what´s going wrong? |

I have a T60 but with another GPU -> ATI X1400, sucks too! 
But you can try this ->
| Quote: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. ATI Default Card"
Driver "fglrx"
#Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
ChipID 0x71c5
EndSection
|
It's a hack from http://arscognita.com/~richtl/T60p/index.html with the ChipID you can fake the GPU Chip type, maybe then it works.
Good luck with ATI chip I know it sucks! |
