ati's fglrx 8.25.18 and sid
hello, i am trying to get latest ati's driver working under debian sid. i downloaded them from ati's website as debian repository only offers 8.24.8 (which are working) i created debian packages from the .run file, installed fglrx-driver, fglrx-kernel-src, ran module-assistant. $ dmesg (...) [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.25.18 [May 18 2006] on minor 0 (...) Xorg.0.log : (...) (II) fglrx(0): DRI initialization successfull! (...) (II) fglrx(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled (...) as you see, everything looks fine except : $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1) so I got back to 8.24.8 and everything works fine, EXCEPT google earth, which was the reason of my trying to install this new version of fglrx. has anyone got them working or have an idea ? thanks -- Nicoco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'll check in détails anyway do you know if updating from 8.24.8 to 8.25.18 is planned for the official non free repositories ? -- Nicoco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

So you can either upgrade your kernel to 2.6.16-2-686, or obtain linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686 from http://snapshot.debian.net. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Of course, I needed to install the latest version of the kernel (linux-image-2.16-2-686), after which the build was OK. However, it doesn't help much because direct rendering is still not enabled and therefore googleearth still does not run correctly.

Looking at the description of fglrx-driver, I'm not sure if the FireGL 9000 in my ThinkPad t40p is supported when comparing this: $ lspci|grep -i fire :01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 02) with this: $ apt-cache show fglrx-driver This version of the ATI driver officially supports: * Radeon X300/X550, X600, X700, X800, X850, X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900 * Radeon 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700, 9800 * Radeon 9100, 9200 IGP * Radeon Xpress 200, 200M * FireGL V3100, V3200, V5000, V5100, V7100 * FireGL 8700, 8800, X1, X2, X3, Z1, T2 * Mobility Radeon X300, X600, X700, X800, X1300, X1400, X1600, X1800 * Mobility Radeon 9000, 9200, 9550, 9600, 9800 * Mobility Radeon 9000, 9100 IGP Series * Mobility FireGL 9100, T2, V5000 I do not see Radeon R250, or FireGL 9000 in the list. However, in my Xorg.0.log, I see: $ less /var/log/Xorg.0.log (--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP) found In this case, Mobility Radeon 9000 *is* in the list. Thoughts? Can't hurt to try, can it? By the way, what is a simple test to see whether 3D acceleration is enabled? -- Bill Wohler [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
