Re: [Flightgear-users] help with ATI fglrx
Taken from this page, paragraph 31.1, the part about lsmod output: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/ch-kernel-modules.html For each line, the first column is the name of the module, the second column is the size of the module, and the third column is the use count. Not a user id. -- Jorge Van Hemelryck ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

I'm using an via chipset mobo too but I compile the via chipset support into the kernel as opposed to agpgart support, which I compile as a module. I dunno if this gets you anywhere but it might be worth trying. Do you have POSIX shared memory support enabled? This comes under Virtual memory filesystem support (former shm fs). I believe this is required for the ATI drivers.
