Sorry I had to forward this but I was studying for an excel test i need to take for a support position and I had to mail a spreadsheet to myself. On Sunday 07 September 2003 12:11 am, Franklin Maurer wrote: BandiPat wrote today ...
For the agp, Franklin, add this to your XF86Config file located in your /etc/X11 directory. These lines go under the Section "Device" heading. Option "AGPmode" "4" Option "accel" Add them just as they appear here and that should kick your AGP 4x into action.
I added this. No improvement, no crash. I did notice that I had Option "CRTOnly" as well. Is this supposed to be there. I have an old crt monitor.
The 3D module for the ATI drivers will have to be compiled per the instructions included, as I had to do on my k_athlon kernel. Everything is the same, no matter what kernel. But remember, if you change kernels, those files compiled against your old kernel will not work.
This is where it gets hazy. I don't think I've compiled anything. I tend to stay with rpms. Do I only need to follow the make modules section? ... Perform the following steps: - get the matching Linux kernel source - run "make distclean" - setup that kernel source with the config file matching your kernel Huh? How? - run "make dep" on the kernel source tree - go to "/lib/module/fglrx/build_mod" and enter "./make.sh" - go to "/lib/module/fglrx" and enter "./make_install.sh" Enter /lib/module/fglrx/build_mod and enter (as root) "./make.sh". Thus you will create a new customer-specific kernel module. If the creation fails, look up for the reason in the shell and in the related logfile "make.log". Or do I follow these ... If your kernel was built by your Linux distribution and supplied as binary: - Get the related source RPM file - Extract the matching configuration settings contained there. (RedHat Linux files may reside in the subdir "configs". SuSE Linux: find the files in the SRPMs. Latest SuSE versions will present /proc/config.gz for the running kernel.) - Set up your kernel source with these settings: (1) copy the config file to /usr/src/linux<your-extension>/.config (For SuSE config.gz first apply "gunzip config.gz" at a temp location.) (2) run "make oldconfig" for exact importing - Run "make dependencies" ("make dep"). Or do I do both? Sorry it's my first(well hopefully first successful) attempt at doing anything with my kernel. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
