start new session problems
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
