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
