Hi,
I just managed to install the ATI 3.9.0 drivers. After rebooting the pc and
running fglrxinfo I get the following output:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.4 Mesa 5.0.2)
That's not what I would expect. The XFree86.0.log shows the following
messages:
...

If I restart the X server now (without reboot!) the fglrxinfo output changes

Hi, I've tried to get DRI working with XFree86 radeon driver (not the
ATI binary driver) without success. Googling around I found suggestions
to change ChipID but it didn't work for me:
$ glxinfo|grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
Here are my XF86Config and XFree86.0.log, any help appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Laurent
I am experiencing recurrent crashes with an Nvidia driver.
When I installed SUSE 9.0, it repeatedly drove my monitor out
of range, since it failed to recognize it correctly. It's a Viewsonic VP191b,
and I experienced the problems described by Terje J. Hanssen in his posting
of May 23 2004 on this forum.
In accordance with Hanssen's advice, I set the monitor definition to
LCD 1280x1024 at 75Hz. This improved matters greatly, but I am still
experiencing
frequent crashes. These involve both application crashes (konqueror, kmail,
kicker), and complete xserver crashes, to the extent that I am forced once or
twice a day to hit the reset button to reboot (ALT-CTRL-F1 brings up a login,
but then after I log in, nothing happens). I am currently experimenting with
LCD 1280x1024 at 60Hz, but I am still having several crashes a day.
System information:
Monitor Viewsonic VP191b
Graphics card: NVidia GeForce FX 5600SE
Driver: NVidia driver (from download)

I have Hercules Radeon 8500LE, driver is fglrx 3.7.6 from suse ftp.

Yesterday I upgraded KDE from 3.1.4 to 3.2.3 from ftp with yast_sources.
I had one small problem. The button "start new session" was gone. After
reading archives in mailing lists I added a few lines to file
/etc/X11/xdm/Xserver...
/:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08
:2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt09
:3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :3 vt10/
BTW: file Xserver is also located in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/ with
the default line :0 like this:
/:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07/
Should I modify this too? What does the local@tty1 mean?
Anyway... after reboot, the button "start new session" was there and I'm
now able to start 3 new sessions. But here's the problem... The first
session I start (as root or as normal user), everything is ok. fglrxinfo
and glxinfo display the above... Then I start new session and KDE loads
normally. But the fglrx driver isn't working...
#fglrxinfo
/Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: unable to open display :0
/#glxinfo
/ name of display: :1.0
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
display: :1 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
/If I try to switch between the sessions CTRL+ALT+F7/F8/F9... the
display is corrupted. If I logout, the computer locks up and I have to
reset it.
I know upgrading to kde 3.2.3 was not a good idea, but you know... some
of us just have to do it :)
How to convince the xserver to use fglrx driver? It worked before...
Thanx in advance
Henk,
I installed the SuSE-RPMs without problems. I followed the instructions
given in the SuSE README file. I have no idea where your errors come
from. Sorry :(

Hello everyone.
Has SuSE or XFree done anything to support 3D hardware acceleration in the ATI
IGP 320M (AMD) and 340M (Intel) chipsets? I've seen various websites where
others have patched the kernel sources to do it. I can compile my own
kernel, but I'd rather stick to a supported set of sources.
Thanks.
Chris
Hi list,
I am running SuSE Standard Server 8 on a Compaq Evo D300v with a Pentium 4.
My installation is pretty standard and everything works very well out of
the box.
My resolution is fine and SuSE detects that I have the nVidia GeForce
5200Fx card with 128Mb RAM card - however it tells me that the 3D
capabilities are disabled.
I downloaded the driver installation binaries:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run from nVidia's website as advised after
looking around. This driver is said to be 'universal' a.k.a. one driver
works for all.
But the install does not seem to work. I follow the steps but I still do
not have 3D capabilities (my exisiting drivers seem exactly the same and
the system still tells me that I do not have 3D capabilities enabled).
Can anyone offer advice if they have worked through this problem already.
Thanks in advance,

YUPEEEEEE it works. OMG I FEEL GREAT even though i spend all night
infront of the computer. the satisfaction after configuring something to
work as it is supposed to is great.
thanks man:)
For the past five hours I've been trying to get fglrx drivers to work on
SuSE 9.0 without any luck.
I've tried both, from rage3d.com and ftp.suse.com and finally decided to
stick with suse. I followed the instructions in fglrx readme carefully:
# su
# init 3 (just in case...)
i updated XFree86 drivers with
# rpm -Uhv fglrx*.rpm
installed kernel-source with yast
installed kernel module source
# rpm -Uhv km_fglrx*.rpm
compiled kernel module sources
# cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx
# make -f Makefile.module
# make -f Makefile.module install
configured sax2
# sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl
AND enabled 3d support in XF86Config-4 by adding Load "dri" to section
module
(from XF86Config-4)
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx" # libglx.a
Load "dri" # libdri.a
but sax still says 3d support is not configured. and ATI control panel
is nowhere to be found.... ohh I'm just so confused :)
BTW: which fglrx driver version should I use? and which base XFree86
version?
thanx
