fglrx 3.14.6 video issues on SuSE 9.1
by Ingo Strauch 21 Nov '04

Hi all! I've set up the fglrx driver version 3.14.6 as specified in the README (i.e. with sax2) and everything went fine. Now mplayer complained about missing XVideo extensions and indeed "xvinfo" gave "no adaptors present". After a small google search I found a page that said to use fglrxconfig instead of sax2 to configure X11. http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux/2004-Aug/2289.html And indeed that seemed to work: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: "ATI Radeon Video Overlay" number of ports: 1 port base: 67 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: depth 24, visualID 0x23 depth 24, visualID 0x24 depth 24, visualID 0x25 depth 24, visualID 0x26 depth 24, visualID 0x27 depth 24, visualID 0x28 depth 24, visualID 0x29 depth 24, visualID 0x2a depth 24, visualID 0x2b depth 24, visualID 0x2c depth 24, visualID 0x2d depth 24, visualID 0x2e depth 24, visualID 0x2f depth 24, visualID 0x30 depth 24, visualID 0x31 depth 24, visualID 0x32 number of attributes: 12 "XV_SET_DEFAULTS" (range 0 to 1) client settable attribute "XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 1) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 1) "XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to -1) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 30) "XV_DOUBLE_BUFFER" (range 0 to 1) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 1) "XV_BRIGHTNESS" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_CONTRAST" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_SATURATION" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_COLOR" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_HUE" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_RED_INTENSITY" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_GREEN_INTENSITY" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_BLUE_INTENSITY" (range -1000 to 1000) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) maximum XvImage size: 2048 x 2048 Number of image formats: 4 id: 0x32595559 (YUY2) guid: 59555932-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x59565955 (UYVY) guid: 55595659-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x32315659 (YV12) guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x30323449 (I420) guid: 49343230-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the strange thing is that xine just shows a black screen when I want to watch some video. mplayer crashes with ---------------------------------------------------------------------- X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 0.0% 0 0 0% MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: flip_page - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

ATI Rage Mobility P/M problem
by rhubarbpie＠mail.com 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Greetings, I'm having video problems while loading SuSe 9.2 I'm attempting to load on a Thinkpad A21e with ATI Rage Mobility P/M video. I've been running this box exclusively on Linux for two years with no problem. My distribution has been Mandrake which recognizes the video easily. Unfortunately, Mandrake broke my sound with their 10.0 release and continued the problem with 10.1. Although SuSe gives me sound it fails with video. Specifically, my Rage Mobility card is recognized during hardware configuration but the resolution is low. If I attempt to up the resolution I'm asked for vertical and horizontal synchs. Testing with the recognized low resolution is a total failure. The screen shows nothing meaningful and displays ghosted images while fading. This problem seems odd to me as I'm running this video flawlessly on Mandrake 10.0. It seems even stranger as I notice Thinkpad configuration modules loading under SuSe 9.2. I'm aware 9.2 uses x.org, which I believe is new. Is the problem with SuSe? Is the problem with x.org. Any help would be appreciated. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

> The Doom 3 Linux page (http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom) speaks > of a "S3TC patch". Does anyboy know what this is? Seems a patch for compressed textures support (S3 Texture Compression). Don't know if/how it's related to your crash. For more info about the failure, you can try to use "strace -f doom3" to see the system calls around the crash. Ciao, Roberto

> Does the new ATI driver work with SuSE92/Xorg > (DRI support, switching between console & X, > Xvideo overlay etc)? >From the readme on ATI site, the "new features" of this drivers are only "support for all existing ATI PCIe cards". The "issues resolved" are: - Doom 3: Random polygons no longer appear throughout the display while playing the game - 3D Applications no longer fail to respond on RHEL 3.0 with 1GB or more memory installed - The System no longer fails to respond when moving the mouse around on the screen on some systems I wonder if the first fixes the problems I was having in almost all 3D apps with textures (e.g. Celestia). I won't know either, because for now my 9600 is in a AMD64 system :-/ that's still unsupported AFAIK, and that will get a 9.2 as soon as I can buy a box. I did read on a web news site that ATI hired 2 X developers and was about to release a completely new driver. I hope it's true. Meanwhile, I've bought a nVidia :-P Ciao, Roberto

[suse-xfree86] ATI released fglrx 3.14.6 today

Does the new ATI driver work with SuSE92/Xorg (DRI support, switching between console & X, Xvideo overlay etc)? I would like to update to 9.2 because of the better(?) notebook support (energy consumption, suspending ...) but I don't wan't pay with the loss of 3D support. Frank

Updating XFree86-4.4.0 into Xorg-X11-6.8.1
by Fatih Alabas 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

PRODUCT: SuSE Linux I386 9.1 Professional I have latest XFree86 rpm's properly installed in my system. I need further development so want to update or change my current installation in to Xorg-X11-6.8.1. I checked SUSE's download page for Xorg-X11-6.8.1, but found just a general readme file. Can you help me by providing me a step by step base Xorg-X11 installation instruction ? Thank you... Fatih ALABAS

fglrx problem?
by Claus Olesen 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

The letters of subtitle language text (english) of DVD movies played using mplayer are partly yellow and partly white. Without the OpenGLOverlay option in the XF86Config they are only white as they should be. I'm on SuSE 9.1. Excerpt from XF86Config Section "Device" BoardName "RV350 AP" BusID "3:0:0" Driver "fglrx" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" VendorName "ATI" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "on" EndSection To reproduce, play a dvd movie using mplayer, turn on subtitles and look at the colors of the subtitle letters. Anyone experience this issue too? I tried to let ATI know using http://apps.ati.com/linuxDfeedback/index.asp but I get this error ADODB.Command error '800a0d5d' Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current operation. /linuxDfeedback/datasource.asp, line 57 when I click submit. I tried different variations of the input to the page but no luck. It looks like there is a ton of input checking on that page and I suspect it stumbles in that. Why so much checking?

by Lawrence Bowie 06 Nov '04

I have a Dell Insprion 8600 with a ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 PRO 128MB video card. I know the 9.1 distribution has support for it at http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/x11/ Will there be support for it in 9.2? Also, has anyone tried the 9.1 RPM for fglrx? Thanks, LDB

Further to my previous email, when I run startx I also get the following error before the "X error of failed request...": symbol XAAScreenIndex from trident_drv.o is unresolved. Can this be the cause of the "X error of failed request: ... opcode ... 91 ( X_QueryColors )? Thank you --------------------------------- Yahoo! Acesso Grátis - Internet rápida e grátis.
