Done,
[root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # ll /usr/bin/X
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-10-22 18:56 /usr/bin/X -> /usr/bin/Xgl
[root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # rpm -qa | grep fgl
ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.40.4_2.6.22.9_0.4-1
x11-video-fglrxG01-8.40.4-1
Bad news,
following the advise to the tee, glx isn't even loaded, the driver is
using Mesa? glxinfo:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1)
OpenGL extensions:
glxgears frame rate is 1/10 of what it was. fgl_glxgears will not even run:
[root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 159 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 33
Current serial number in output stream: 33
Any additional thoughts? I have the
ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run, and I'll build the 8.40
drivers from that and try again. The
http://opensuse-community.org/ati-legacy.ymp was not the ticket on my
Toshiba P35 laptop with the ATI 9700 card.
