ATI Radeon 9200 SE / DRI / XFree86 radeon driver / SuSE 9.1

by Laurent GUERBY

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

SUSE 9.0 crashes with Nvidia driver

by Alasdair Urquhart

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.

start new session problems

by Bojan Hribernik

I have Hercules Radeon 8500LE, driver is fglrx 3.7.6 from suse ftp. # fglrxinfo: / display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 8500 DDR Generic OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.7.6) /# glxinfo:/ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes / 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

ATI Radeon IGP 320M and xfree86

by Chris Freyer

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

nVidia GeForce 5200Fx 128Mb RAM - Cannot load 3D driver under SuSE Standard Server 8 - Can anyone help?

by jonathan_hughes＠goodyear.co.za

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, Jonathan Hughes Tech Support Specialist MCP / MCSD Goodyear South Africa

Hercules Radeon 8500 and fglrx 3d acceleration on SuSE 9.0

by Bojan Hribernik

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
