ATI Driver (fglrx) won't direct render
I've spent a lot of time trying to get direct rendering enabled, but configuration keeps failing with (from sax.log):- (II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.14-default/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): No such device [drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"

Mother board is MSI K8N Neo4 with Nvidia nforce 4 chipset. I'm presently only using 32-bit. I thought I'd get that working before trying 64-bit, and haven't got that far. Suse 9.2, X11 6.8.2, also tried 6.8.1-15.5, now on 6.8.1-15.1. fglrx 8.12.10, before that 8.10.19, all without any apparent change in symptoms. I'm confused about agp and agpgart. I've tried both internal and external, but am not sure about which external I should try. As it's Nvidia chipset, should it be that? I can't see any mention of nforce 4, only nforce 2. Can anyone help, please? I'm a newbie here. Allan

Hi Marcus
Thanks. If I've downloaded the kernel and the matching kernel-source, I was assuming that I didn't need to recompile. Am I wrong here, then? Allan

Shouldn't this be: Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "v4l" Load "dri" EndSection Markus

Hi Markus That's what I did originally, but I was getting warnings (or errors) in Sax.log about missing glx visuals, or something like that, and neither dri nor glx showed in the module config in the log until I put the full path. It does grumble at it but does accept it. Don't know why it was dropping them off. I did see on google someone else use this method. Is it a real problem? Allan
