ATI Radeon 9600 driver problem
by Peter-Josef Meisch 14 May '04

14 May '04

Hi, yesterday I installed the drivers from the suse ftp site (for Suse 9.1) for my ATI Radeon 9600. First all went well and I had accelerated 3D, glxgears came up with over 2000 fps. After a reboot, the fglrx driver loads but fails to initialise DRI, I'll attach the relevant lines from XFree86.0.log. In consequence, 3D rendering is done by Mesa as fglrxinfo shows: # fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.4 Mesa 5.0.2) Does anybody know what might be the reason for this? Greetings, P.J. Here comes the log extract: (II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI (II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 5, (OK) drmGetBusid returned '' (II) fglrx(0): [drm] loaded kernel module for "fglrx" driver (II) fglrx(0): [drm] created "fglrx" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xf9953000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf9953000 to 0x402c0000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xd0000000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit done (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx (II) fglrx(0): Version: 3.7.6 (II) fglrx(0): Date: Mar 5 2004 (II) fglrx(0): Desc: ATI Fire GL DRM kernel module (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version matches driver.

> (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV" > (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP IF the situation is still the same as a few month ago, fglrx modules does its own AGP management. So, if you happen to have the kernel AGP module loaded, it doesn't work. That said, I was sure SUSE kernels didn't work with fglrx due to the REGPARAM configuration option in the kernel. Did you compile your own kernel, or do things have changed? Ciao, Roberto

Matrox G550 DVI
by Patrick Scheibe 07 May '04

Hi there. I want to use the dvi-out of my Matrox G550 with a TFT Screen from EIZO. What happened is that the installation of SuSe 8.2 works fine. But if I want to start sax2 it seems to initialize the port, but after a few seconds the screen switches off and there is no chance to make it return to the textmode. Normally a C-M-Del should kill the x-server, but that doesn't work. I read in some faqs and got the driver from matrox.com. I have the original XFree86 version 4.3.0 from the suse-cd.. I tried to make it work in the following way: run the install-script from the matrox driver. That should just copy the libs to the right place. Its confusing to me that there is no "new" mga.o. There are just other libs that are obviously not used as module. After that I started "sax2 -m -0=mga" with the normal analog vga cable connected to my screen. I changed the monitor to the exact dates of the EIZO TFT, to avoid problems with frequencies. In the XFree config are to sections for the matroxdevices. I just added by hand the Option "DigitalScreen" "yes" entry as described in the matrox README to the first entry. I started the xserver and the same as everytime happended. The screen switched off. If I remove the digitalScreen entry, the normal vga startx perfectly. Now my questions: - Is there anyone who can help me in general and give hints what could be wrong or so? - Makes it a difference if I have connectet the two ports (normal vga and dvi) of the G550 to my screen or is can it just display one per time. If I connect the dvi and reboot the system, it seem that the pc uses only the dvi port and switches off the normal-vga port. - In witch way can I control the use of the ports?? If I make a "startx", linux uses just the first entry of the XFree86 config (the device[0]). Cheers Patrick

ATI Radeon 9800XT Driver Installation
by John Heffington 06 May '04

Howdy! I was wanting to know if anybody has had any success installing this driver. I can get as far as actually installing it and the Control panel, but MESA still resides as the OpenGL driver. I was needing to know how to replace MESA with the ATI driver thanks!!

No mouse pointer after SuSE 9.0 Pro install.
by John N. Alegre 01 May '04

01 May '04

After an install of 9.0 Pro there is no visible Mouse Pointer. The configuration of the mouse in XF86config is "auto". It is a three button mouse. The mouse worked fine with visible cursor / pointer during the entire install process. The mouse works now. I can select things fine with standard mouse clicks and double clicks. I just can NOT see the pointer / cursor. If I struggle through a selection and click the middle button the paste works in the standard x manner. I can just not see the pointer / cursor on the screen. Can anybody help??? Video drivers are NVIDIA. During the install I think I downloaded the most recent drivers but I am not sure. I can not use 1600 X 1200 in 16 bit mode or any resolution in 24 bit mode. There is 128 Meg Video Ram. I am new to SuSE not to Linux (since Red Hat 5.2). I am very happy about the SuSE product. It is a superior distribution. Can anyone help me with the mouse problem or point me to the correct data. As I said above the mouse IS working there is just no visible pointer. john ------------------------------------ John N.
