Corrupt 3D display with SuSE 8.2 and Radeon 9600 Pro

Hi all! I have problems with my Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro graphics board. I have installed the glx1_linux_X4.3.zip package from http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/body_download_ati.html and got 2D working fine with the fglrx module. Unfortunately 3D (after switch2xf86_glx) produces broken output. The upper half of the screen or window is fine, but the lower is either completely black (glxgears) or shows only the background (the mountain range in tuxracer, but not tux and the course itself). With mesa everything looks fine, but it's of course no real long time option. The X packages I have installed (did the SuSE YOU after initial install) are these: XFree86-4.3.0-15 XFree86-GLX-4.3.0-15 XFree86-devel-4.3.0-15 XFree86-fonts-75dpi-4.3.0-15 XFree86-fonts-scalable-4.3.0-15 XFree86-libs-4.3.0-42 XFree86-man-4.3.0-15 XFree86-server-4.3.0-63 The important parts of my XF86Config are here: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Section "dri" Mode 0666 EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # libglx.a Load "dri" # libdri.a EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 31.5 - 91.1 VertRefresh 60 - 85 Option "DPMS" EndSection # === ATI device section === Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter" Driver "fglrx" # === disable PnP Monitor === #Option "NoDDC" # === disable/enable XAA/DRI === Option "no_accel" "no" Option "no_dri" "no" # === FireGL DDX driver module specific settings === # === Screen Management === Option "DesktopSetup" "0x00000000" Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, AUTO" Option "IgnoreEDID" "off" Option "HSync2" "unspecified" Option "VRefresh2" "unspecified" Option "ScreenOverlap" "0" Option "GammaCorrectionI" "0x00000000" Option "GammaCorrectionII" "0x00000000" # === OpenGL specific profiles/settings === Option "Capabilities" "0x00000000" # === Video Overlay for the Xv extension === Option "VideoOverlay" "on" # === OpenGL Overlay === # Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay # will be disabled automatically Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" # === Misc Options === Option "UseFastTLS" "0" Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on" Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes" Option "ForceGenericCPU" "no" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" # vendor=1002, device=4150 Screen 0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "ATI Graphics Adapter" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 #Option "backingstore" Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop # Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubsection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Server Layout" Screen "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Anybody similar problems/experiences or ideas what to try next?

Canon i950

I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list to ask, but how do I install a Canon i950 printer in SuSE? I use KDE and I successfully have an Epson640 set up, but there doesn't seem to be any support or information about newer printers. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/featuredemail

Hello How do I get 3d acceleration of mach64 running on SuSE Linux 8.2? On SuSE Linux 7.2 I got it running with Sax (XFree86 3.3) and 3Ddiag. On SuSE Linux 8.2 Sax do not run any more. the output is: SaX: searching card...done SaX: scanning failed switching to fallback server SaX: using XF86_VGA16 for configuration SaX: start new XF86_VGA16 server Is there a driver for mach64 for XFree86 4.X?

Problem With G550 Matrox
by Pieter Bruinsma 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I have done a lot of digging around... but I have found no solution to my G550 Matrox grpahic card causing the whole system to 'Hang' when X is started (Matrox Forums, mailing lists)... I am running Suse 8.2. I tried the Support Desk but they where not much use... and now my support time is at an end. Mention of IRQ problems have been made in various places, but the PCI slot that could share the AGP slot IRQ is empty. Anyway my previous Epox mother board had the same problem, as does my new Abit. I cannot believe I am the only person to exeprience such a problem. Regards, Pieter Budapest

Matrox developed the support for those chips pretty much themselves. It seems they have pretty much abandoned the driver since so that it is in a pretty desolate state at the moment. It definitely needs an audit - but this is difficult to do without documentation. There are some reports about hangs linked to DRI. Do you have DRI enabled? does it work better if you disable it?
