Hi, Me and others have problems with the new 3.9.0 driver. If you can check the threads at rage3d forums you might be able to help us. First even though the drivers compile correcly when you modprobe them you get the following error: fglrx: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel. [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 681 MBytes. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 printing eip: f2986d58 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] It must be something with the regparm, which the drivers clame to support and in order to make the work you must apply a custom patch from here: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33761546 Even though the drivers load with this patch, every time you run a GL app you get errors like these: kernel: Badness in do_no_page at mm/memory.c:1455 or kernel: Badness in copy_page_range at mm/memory.c:331 This seems to happen mostly is Suse 9.1 kernels and not to other distributions. What do you think is the problem? Thanks

From their pages at http://swsusp.sourceforge.net/status.html DRI doesn't work since it doesn't have support for power management. That said, when you're using DRI, you can see it in /var/log/XFree86.0.log : in there, there's usually a message about DRI enabled, or DRI failed to load. Besides, to actually have X trying to load the DRI module, in /etc/X11/XF86config there should be a DRI line in Section "Module", like: Section "Module" ... ... Load "glx" Load "dri" EndSection Hope that helps ^^; Ciao, Roberto

What do you think is the problem? I have the same messages with driver 3.76, kernel-default-2.6.4-54.5 (the last available from YOU). I'm starting to think this kernel and the patch or the drivers does not like each other. Sadly I don't have time to try a newer kernel in the next days, but maybe one of the new ones from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/i386 will work... Ciao, Roberto

Yes, I tried those. But I must say I now have problem reproducing the problem, I may have a corrupted km_drm installed (I have a makefile error with km_drm-4.3.99.902-40, and a rpm -vV shows that Makefile has been altered...). Sorry but I can't be more useful since for now I don't have the time to do a proper check of the configuration. I'm about to leave for a trip and have some backlog to sort out. I'll be available for tests only after 13/6 :-( Ciao, Roberto

external projector with nvidia

by Jochen Staerk

Hi, I have a Geforce4 440 Go 64Mb in my notebook (Suse 9.1) and I don't get any external projector (germans call it a "beamer") to work with it - external lcd display works fine. I use the nvidia driver. I think it may have to do with the resolution & the frequencies. I switched back to 800x600 in sax and the projector at least startet displaying moving stripes. I need this thing to work in 1024x768, so any help would be greatly appreciated. you can find my current config in http://213.133.99.51/temp/XF86Config . the synaptics-mousepad inserted there works great, as well. Currently, I only get the standard-blue-screen of the beamer, as if it did not get any signal at all. I tried yanc but I don't know about the frequencies of the beamer. These are used for the metamodes I have to define to witch on twinview. Actually; I'm not even sure if that is what I need, since twinview seems to be a second logical display. So I tried "clone" but that does not work as well. I just want the projector just to show the display as I can see it on the screen. I reproduced this problem on three different types of projectors. By the way, of course I also tried Option "MetaModes" "1024x768 @x,1024x768 @x" (yanc) with the more conformant "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768". I also tried useEdidFreqs... Of course I tried switching back and forth to and from my screen with Fn+F3. I also tried STRG+ALT+FN+Ö (^=CTRL+ALT+"+") and STRG+ALT+FN+P (^=CTRL+ALT+"-") and restarting my X server (CTRL+ALT+Backspace). Sometimes, I also started my notebook with the beamer connected. Oh, and it's about a projector on VGA-Out, not on TV-Out or so. Interestingly, I can set 800x600-resolutions with xrandr -s, and that does not display anything on the projector. As I said, if I do this with SAX, it may display stripes. I would be very, very grateful if anybody had a constructive idea, Jochen -- mit freundlichen Grüßen Jochen Stärk www.usegroup.de Albigerstr. 22 55232 Alzey Tel: 06731/997997-5 Fax: 06731/997997-6 Mobil: 0177/4512645

Radeon 9200SE - DVI

by Hartmut Berghoff

Hallo XFrees! I hope the faq address is ok. Besides other reasons I hoped my problem being solved with upgrade from Suse8.2 to 9.1 My problem is, that I don't geht working my Radeon9200SE with my LG Flatron 1910B using DVI. With 8.2 I used the driver suplied by ATI. All Infos didn't help to succeed. Console was ok, but with switching to X-Server ony the analog output is working (switching back to a console window ctl-ALT-Fn) allows using the DVI, but not with the X-session. With 9.1 I use the driver suppplied with the distribution. Configured by SaX2 in runlevel 3, selecting Radeon9200SE an monitor LG Flatron 1811B(digital) - no 1910B available - Finishing SaX a Testscreen is displayed and I can see it with DVI. After starting x-server with init 5 or reboot, the old story: X-Session only analog. Somebody out there who can help? regards hartmut

by Laurent GUERBY

Hi, Ctrl-Alt-F1 from KDE on my ACER Aspire 1353LM makes the screen go completely blank. I'm able to blindly log in / off the text console and to go back to KDE with Alt-F7. Any idea on what to try to get a proper text console?

X.org X11R6.7 (Has HTML Table)

by John Heffington

Just wanted to let you all know that I have installed this update w/o much problems. I think most of the problems I was having was the ATI driver for my card. Once I set the proper Sax2 profile, ran fglrxconfig, and added the dri module to the proper config file, it all loaded smoothley. I did notice, however, that after restarting the x-server using CTRL-ALT-Backspace and logged back in, it would hang at the KDE splash screen. I would then have to reboot the machine.Once I was backup x-server saw my card and I now have 3D acceleration!! I am getting somewhere around 4500 to over 7400 FPS using glxgears!!!! Games Runs Won't Run Problems TORCS Yes! No Text RACER Yes! None TuxRacer Yes! None Chromium BSU Yes! No Text NeverBall Yes! None Have fun!! John

X.org setup for ATI Radeon 9800XT

by John Heffington

Ok, I broke down and installed the X.org X11R6.7 packages and everything installed w/o a hitch. Apparently the install disabled parts of my fglrx driver. I can run fglrxconfig and even load dri module, but the ATI Panel keeps telling "The driver does not provide FireCL X11 extensions! Panel components will operate only partially." How do I fix this??? All 3 X11 config files (XF86Config, XF86Config-4, and XF86Config-linux) are showing the proper modules. Any help would be great!!! Ciao!
