We'll give 'em a few more hours (it's only 10.20 AM in Toronto) but after 12.00 Toronto time I'll start looking for some bats in my garage and get myself a return ticket to Toronto/Vancouver/whatever spot they're located

Oh well, I'll head on with my UML init scripts

Fellow GNUsers, we are gathered here today, exceptionally, to pray to the Gods, again, for the release of ATI drivers that will satisfy our expectations, maybe.
If you would all be so kind as to get fully naked and sacrifice a goat, we will then be ready to begin.
I leave the next speaker to continue the ceremony.

I guess a lot of GNUsers are sending their prayers.

I wouldn't be very surprised that the driver wouldn't be released today... to be honest i'm actually considering to change back to nvidia again cuz at the moment the nvidia-cards have a better performance anyway...

I hope someone at ati has to read through all the forums and see how desperate we all are to get those drivers... CEO would be best

Whoops, we broke it.

To be honest I stopped considering ATi ages ago.

Please post your first impressions. If it seems stable I might build in my ati card again but it's quite time-consuming because of my special heatpipe tower. So it should be worth the effort.

As soon as I get home from work I compile them and install Doom 3..

Trevoke · Post by **Trevoke** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 9:24 pm

Psst.
Don't forget to edit that ebuild so it uses the x86_64 drivers and not the i386.

Can someone mirror?

Okay - the rage3d forums are having issues, but i got in, so here is the ebuild from the site.

EDIT:: never mind - check this out :

http://dev.gentoo.org/~gerrynjr/ati-dri ... 4.6.ebuild

EDIT #2::

Code: Select all

<gerrynjr> n3x: I dont care 8)
16:53 <n3x> okay
16:53 <gerrynjr> n3x: so long as you maintain the fact that it is _unsupported_

So it's unsupported (in case you hadn't already guessed from the url)

#3::
Taken from the rage3d site

They are out? Do they work? I can't believe it. rofl.

chchoque · Post by **chchoque** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 9:51 pm

Same problems as usual.

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999)
.......
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *

Someone succeed making DRI working? Do we need to enable DRI support in the kernel?

I am able to get X to load and glxgears to run, but when I try fgl_glxgears, I get:

FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Permission denied)
__FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!!
FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Permission denied)
__FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!
'repeat'

My user has always been able to use the 3d accel, /dev/dri is currently chmod 0777.
Any Suggestions?

Damm that's pressure. I had a wrong link from /usr/src/linux to an old kernel version.
Now dri loads fine, but glxgears causes a hard lock up:(
I hope this is not because of AMD-8151 AGP Bridge, which is know to have problems under windoze (K8W with r350 stuff). Someone in the same config?

spdrmonkey: Did you set ICD to 0666?
