[opensuse] Still trying to get my X1600 to enable 3D
I have gone through the instructions again several times. I have carefully followed all the steps suggested by ATI to make my video card work properly. When it has failed, I have tried both removing the drivers via the command on the ATI site (sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh) and also I have tried this ( rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)) command that I found on another site. I also tried reinstalling Linux from scratch (I know, unnecessary, but I had no data on the drive anyhow so it was simple and painless) Unfortunately, I keep having the exact same results. The driver will install, I will have direct rendering enabled, but 3D will be disabled. I found one note regarding an AIGLX error, and I tried the fix suggested, but this did not solve the 3D issue either. In fact, after I made the change suggested to fix this issue, YaST quit working properly and I had to reinstall YaST (Note: Yast is now working again). That is probably unrelated, but it seemed a little coincidental. So here is where I am at now. I have installed the driver. I have direct rendering, but 3D appears disabled. The driver is showing up as properly installed according to glxinfo. I have tried adding the following two fixes to my xorg.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "false" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" EndSection This has produced no change in the video capabilities at all. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. G. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm not ignoring you Grommley. I've just run out of Ideas.... :-( -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did not think I was being ignored. :) I thought maybe my email client was causing me some issues and not sending my emails out as my messages are not showing up in my inbox from the mailing list. I guess I may just have to go back to Windows for now. It works with this video card with no issues at all.

Welcome to GMail... it's a feature of GMail, not a problem on your end. GMail hides the mails you sent to the list. They are there... On to your problem... I've been thinking about it... and just had a thought based on some digging I've been doing... are you running the 32 bit install of 10.2 or the 64 bit? The reason I ask is that I've come across some forum postings about ATI and 3D not working, and a few mention exactly what you've described here (ie everything is installed and appears to be working right, but fails on 3D) as a "problem" on the 64 bit install, but on the exact same hardware using a 32 bit install, everything works perfectly. (example of the posting is here http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6729&highlight=ati+3d about half way... someone mentions the problem with Ubuntu 64 bit) I've got some other ideas.... I'll mail them off-list since they are not SUSE/ATI related... more on the Cedega/World of Warcraft side :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
