Re: [suse-amd64] AMD 64, X.org and multihead
Hello Markus Well, if I well remember, there is no 64 bits graphic card driver for Linux made by ATI. Only nVidia supplies such a driver. So I suppose that you can only use the driver included in X.org, a 64 bits driver but without 3D GLX features : only 2D. Regards Pascal

Hello List, has anybody managed to get a ATI grafixcard with multihead support working on suse 9.2 (X.org) on AMD 64? I'm close to surrender with my radeon 9000 and newest drivers. My setup includes a DVI TFT display as primary and an analog TFT as
secondary.
I followed the readme and the howto from ATI, (several times), but when "startx" the primary display (dvi) stops immediately, syaing "entering sleep mode". IU managed to make the secondary display work, but only without dri and glx. (videos are only blue, no 3D support) In my logfile it says something like: XFree86.0.log:(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found) which is funny, because it's a radeon - or is this a misunderstanding ? but X stops wiith various configurations because of missing screens or displays - in fact I never managed to get a working config with the fglrxconfig tool, I always had to fix XF86Config by hand.
(apart from the typo bug Keyboard->keyboard in the driver line) :-(
any ideas/hints? I would also appreciate hints about working multihead configurations with other grafixcards on AMD64 platform, because i really like this hardware, but I feel very sad about the bad quality of ATI drivers ... or my incapability to make them work properly. Thanks!

So I suppose that you can only use the driver included in X.org, a 64 bits driver but without 3D GLX features : only 2D. Not exactly true. The driver for the ATI up to AFAIK 9200 works fine w/ 3D. AFAIK, it is not the ATI driver but the open source one. I am sure, though, the 9200SE works w/ 3D w/ 9.2 x86_64 (and 9.1), since that is what I have. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
