Hi everyone,
i finally got the fglrx driver working with the latest release!
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6458 (8.36.5)
I wanted to use compiz on my machine (i have Debian/etch), and googling around i found out the best solution with fglrx is to use Xgl + compiz.
So i tried installing Xgl using this How to:
Xgl and compiz got installed withouth any problem, when i restart gdm the x server goes up BUT
if i try again fglrxinfo i get back to MESA stuff, and there's no 3d acceleration.
In my Xorg logs there are no Error or Warnings about it.
I tried installing Xgl with apt-get and i have the same problem.
If i link back my X server to Xorg fglrx is recognized again!!
What should i do? Compiz obviously won't work if under Xgl i have no 3d acceleration
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
