[SLE] OpenGL Problems: 8.1, 4.3.0, 2.4.20
Hi, I've been trying to get proper 3d acceleration with OpenGL and a Radeon 7500 w/SuSE 8.1. I recently updated from XFree86 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 and installed the dri-kernel modules. This caused my 3d progs to crash, and I was advised it was because I was running 2.4.19 kernel. So I updated to 2.4.20 kernel using k_athlon-2.4.20-62.i586.rpm from mantel's ftp folder. I dled the 2.4.20 src and I again ran through the dri-kernel module steps (don't know if this was necessary?). Now when I run Sax2, I get a message saying "some packages were not installed, do you want to install them now?" (never got this message b4) I say yes and then I try to turn on 3d acceleration and I get the message that xf_glx is not installed?! I explicitly have installed XFree86-GLX-4.3.0-17.i586.rpm, but I still get the error message. (Side note, I then also tried installing the ATI Gatos drivers and drm-kernel, but it did not fix anything). Now I'm thinking I'll go back to XFree86 4.2.0 and use drm-kernel [and gatos drivers] and see if that works. My concern is that the XFree86 4.2.0 files are located under 8.0 and not under 8.1 on the ftp server. What does this mean? Any help is appreciated. My ultimate goal is to get my Maya 4.5 correctly working with OpenGL and I would also like to update my MPlayer. I currently have the "stock" MPlayer that comes with SuSE 8.1 (version 0.90pre6-3.2). MPlayer recommends Gatos drivers for ATI. Basically, I'm trying to solve two sorta related problems at the same time. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
