Hi all, Anyone upgraded to the Suse -144 kernel update with ATI Radeon 3D problems? Got a ATI R350 NH (R9800)........Hercules branded 1) The stock -99 kernel caused ~40% kernel system calls in my hyperthreading P4 3GHz CPU, sluggish operation, and fglrx would not load. 2) I fixed this with Mantel's -121 'test' kernel, which also was an enabler for ATI fglrx 3.2.8 3D driver to kick in properly: glxgears gave ~4300fps (Do have mtrr boot error messages related to the gfx card but hey..it works..) 3) Took now down the -144 kernel off Suse YOU, reinstalled fglrx 3.2.8 driver, just as before, indeed lsmod shows fglrx module loaded but: glxgears now shows only ~370fps /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows: (EE) fglrx(0): Failed to initialize UMM driver. (WW) fglrx(0): *********************************************** (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) * (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available * (WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* * (WW) fglrx(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xd0000000,0x8000000) /var/log/warn/shows: Nov 27 22:33:22 kalevbox kernel: mtrr: 0xd0000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0xd0000000,0x4000000 Nov 27 22:33:22 kalevbox kernel: [fglrx:firegl_addmap] *ERROR* mtrr allocation failed (-22) Nov 27 22:37:06 kalevbox kernel: mtrr: no MTRR for d0000000,400000 found Nov 27 22:37:06 kalevbox kernel: mtrr: no MTRR for d0400000,200000 found Nov 27 22:37:06 kalevbox kernel: mtrr: no MTRR for d0600000,100000 found Nov 27 22:37:07 kalevbox kernel: [fglrx:firegl_umm_init] *ERROR* UMM area already initialized!

I was assuming it did automatically? .in the /usr/src/linux/ directory? For good measure a screen shot of the links in my source directory: http://www.bostreammail.com/kalev/kernelsource.png ..I can test and roll back to the -121 kernel from Mantel -- but I just thought I should check here too?..and check that indeed there was no added step to install the -144 source.. jk Asus P4C800 board 800MHz bus and P4 3GHz 'ht' proc.
