I'm using FEISTY and I also noticed that DRI was disabled :
(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.1.0.0
(EE) fglrx(0): GART is not initialized, disabling DRI
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
I also realized that fglrx module wasn't loaded, which is most likely
the reason. This module should be loaded automatically by this file :
/etc/modprobe.d/fglrx
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx
install fglrx if cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2>/dev/null | sed -n -e '/^[
\\t]*section[ \\t]*"device"/I,/^[ \\t]*endsection/I{/^[ \\t]*driver[
\\t]*/I{s/^[ \\t]*driver[ \\t]*"*//I;s/"*[ \\t]*$//;p}}' | grep -q -w fglrx;
then modprobe --ignore-install -Qb $CMDLINE_OPTS fglrx; else echo "Not loading
fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf" 1>&2; fi
indeed on my computer, this command returns :
$ if cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2>/dev/null | sed -n -e '/^[ \\t]*section[
\\t]*"device"/I,/^[ \\t]*endsection/I{/^[ \\t]*driver[ \\t]*/I{s/^[
\\t]*driver[ \\t]*"*//I;s/"*[ \\t]*$//;p}}' | grep -q -w fglrx; then echo
"FGLRX"; else echo "NO FGLRX";fi
NO FGLRX
but I do have 'fglrx' driver set in my xorg.conf, so this big sed
command must fail somewhere.
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon X600 (RV380)"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
EndSection
There is probably is bug in /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx. In the meantime, I
will add 'fglrx' to /etc/modules.
