[opensuse-xorg] Latest ATI-driver fglrx 8.443

by Dieter Jurzitza

Dear listmembers, to whom it might concern: -> Radeon 2600 AGP works now somewhat with the new driver, -> when trying to modify configuration with sax2 and test prior to saving screen turns black (and remains this way) -> YUY2 - support is missing (baad baad thing ...) -> some errors pop up every other time (Strg - Alt - F10): [fglrx:firegl_free_mutex] *ERROR* mutex id 0x00000002 not found in mutex list (the hex-number is varying) -> performance is about the same (a little worse) than Radeon 9600 (but does not crash, though) So, summary: somewhat usuable, but the missing YUY2-support is bad! Take care Dieter Jurzitza Please take this just as FYI, whoever is struggling with that driver in the very same way I did (do!) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xorg] latest ATI-driver fglrx 8.42.3

by Dieter Jurzitza

Dear listmembers, I think everyone stumbled over the dysfunctional fgl_glxgears in the latest ATI-driver package. The root cause for this problem is the duplicated libGL.so.1.2 that comes with both fglrx and Mesa. I suggest to remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and replace it by a softlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2. After this, fgl_glxgears will be functional. An alternative would be an alternative Mesa package depending on fglrx installation that does exactly this. I could provide a corresponding spec-file for such a package based on the 10.3 Mesa distribution. Another thing I would highly appreciate to receive feedback on: - running glxgears (fglrx installed) and repetitively starting / ending firefox gives a 100% guarantee to freeze my system totally. By the way, I already adjusted Option "UseFastTLS" "2" from the initial "0" because adjusting "0" results in Error: kernel context 0 errors - and freezes, too. As my hardware has not changed and I just upgraded from suse 9.3 to opensuse 10.3 I am sure that my hardware is not defective, it usually runs 24h per day (and I had long long uptimes before) but the new drivers in combination with the new suse cause issues. Anybody out there using fglrx and perceiving the same issuse (Radeon 9600XT here)? I have seen similar reports on the net, therefore I know I am not alone. Thank you very much, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help(a)opensuse.org
