Hi all! I am wondering how to get 3D support for my Radeon 9200. This has been a source of endless frustration for me. I once had to repartition and reinstall SUSE 9.0 because of the following symptoms I got after changing ANY setting in SaX: there would be no monitor output (no picture on my monitor, but Linux is running - you can tell because of the HDD activity light) when the system reaches runlevel 5 (full GUI, X server started). The system would boot to failsafe/console only but would give the same symptom when the command startx was executed. This seems to be the problem with Mandrake 9.1, which I have tried on my machine a few months ago - the installation runs fine, but when the X server is started, the monitor output goes bye-bye. It put me off Linux for a while - we had thought it a graphics card/monitor issue. I was pleasantly surprised when SUSE detected my hardware, but was disappointed to find that I had no 3D and was on 16-bit colour (the default settings which I am still using now). I have installed the fglrx driver rpm, and SaX ticked the checkbox marked "3D support", but executing the command glxinfo | head gives the following results: - Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context client glx vendor string: SGI client glx version string: 1.2 client glx extensions: - Obviously, 3D has not been enabled. Also, the ATi control panel (fireglcontrol) does not operate completely; it says the X11 extensions are missing. For your reference, my graphics hardware setup is: - Sapphire Technologies Atlantis ATI Radeon 9200 (128MB DDR frame buffer, AGP 8x, VGA/TV-out/DVI) - Samsung SyncMaster 152T TFT-LCD connected via DVI SUSE detected this as: - RV280 5961 (fglrx) - Samsung SyncMaster 4S - 3D acceleration enabled Is there a way to get 3D support for my hardware? How do I get my Syncmaster 152T identified correctly? Am I better off buying an NVidia GeForce FX 5700 instead? Please help because, among other things, I can't play 3D games and the desktop lags when dragging windows around. :( Cheers, Carl
