Hello, I've been trying to get 3D working on a amd64(pci-3e) mobo that has an ATI 1900 video card: TI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900 XT] Primary
I first setup the radeon driver and it crawled with bzflag (the 3D software I test with). So I've been trying to get the ati-drivers to work. This web page seems to indicate it should work and provide 3D accelerataton on linux: https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.26.18.html#181179 I've been trying various version of x11-drm libdrm and ati-drivers. Somehow I've gotten the drivers so hosed that starx does makes the screen go black and I have to ssh in just to reboot. Killing off processes does not seem to be effective at regaining control of the screen. Here the latest error I get, revdep-rebuild does not help: make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r4' * DRM module not built Source compiled. Test phase [not enabled]: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1 Install ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1/image/ category x11-drivers * Installing fglrx module install: cannot stat `fglrx.ko': No such file or directory !!!

Any ideas? Assume nothing as the last few days has been an exercise if futility for me.... James -- [email protected] mailing list
