Hello linux community!
Here's my predicament, I've been struggling the whole weekend to make my
damned ATI Radeon 9600 to work optimally in my linux box. I really would
like to enable Direct Rendering so that I could run my Cedega setup at
fast rate. Here what I did:
Check Direct Rendering support:
# glxinfo | grep rendering
output: Direct Rendering: No
Run glxgears benchmark:
#glxgears
output: 250fps (must be above 500fps)
I installed the ATI propietary drivers with
#rpm -Uvh --force fglrx-6_8.0.21.rpm
But after that the glxinfo and glxgears won't run anymore and by typing:
#fglrxinfo
It still says that I'm using MESA drivers.
I tried everything what I could see on the net (Too many to type all
here). I've downloaded the kernel patches, recompiled my kernel, removed
all MESA, edited my xorg.conf file but still no to avail. I'm scolding
myself for buying Radeon due to their poor linux support. I hope someone
could help me with this. A good link to a forum might help. Thanks in
advance! :-)
