ATi Radeon drivers and Slackware 9.1


Recommended Posts

I have set up and installed the ATi drivers (the latest ones), ran fglrx configuration script which made the XF86Config-4 file (which has the load "glx" and "dri" modules enabled). Everything runs fine except OpenGL, which is running in software mode ~2 FPS in menus of games.

Any help/ideas would be apreciated...

BTW Could this have anything to do with nForce2 ?

Using Radeon 9500...

Make sure the module fglrx is loaded into the kernel. Post the output to dmesg and /var/log/XFree86.0.log. That may help a little bit.

To load fglrx is this all i need under the device load list:

Load "fglrx"

Just use fglrxconfig that comes with the drivers. It'll set up an XF86Config-4 which will be suited to the needs you enter.

I did run that but still no decent performance...

I have a similar problem

I just got a new 9800xt and I am trying to get it to do dual monitors

everytime I run fglxconfig the resulting XF86Config-4 won't even allow X to load

I also only get about 2 fps in any opengl apps, some doen't even load

in my log:

(EE) Screen screen2 doesn't exist: deleting placement

farther down:

(II) fglrx(0): detected XFree86 version: 4.3.0

(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************

(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *

(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *

(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *

(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
