  • FGLRX Problems with ATI Mobile Radeon 1300

    Hello Friends,
    I just installed Fedora Core 6 a few weeks ago. (This is my first install of Linux, so I am a newbie - I appreciate your patience if I say some stupid things). I am finally getting used to getting around in Fedora. But I have a problem, it is similar to threads that I have seen elsewhere, but none of the solutions seemed to apply to me, or I didn't exactly understand what they were talking about.
    Well,
    My problem is this, I have no 3d support as far as I can tell,
    I first tried installed the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver off of the ATI web page, but I was having problems with the fireglxcontrolpanel thing and with it saying it couldn't find that and one other file. So I just went onto yum and installed the KMOD Fglrx kernels off of there and the Xorg Fglrx kernels. They seemed to install fine (I can have my computer at the correct resolution) but I don't seem to have any 3d support.
    if I do a fglrxinfo
    I get

    Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
    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 6.5.1)


    I cannot figure out how to change the OpenGL to change to ATI rather than Mesa. Is there a way that I can fix it, or should I try to reinstall off of the ATI webpage?
    I appreciate any help that you can give me
    Austin

    Can you post your xorg.conf (found in /etc/X11/) and cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "EE" That would help in diagnosing the problem.

      When I tried to do a ATICONFIG -Initial it gave me this error message

      Warning: Could not find configuration file
      Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11

      Although xorg.conf was definitely in /etc/X11

        It should be:

        aticonfig --initial
        If you try the ATI.com drivers again, see here for the fireglcontrolpanel problem.

        Also, what did your Xorg.0.log show?

              If you do as mentioned in the previous post, it will only display the lines where there are errors (EE means error in the log).

              cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "EE"

                  Take note that there are two dashes, not just one.

                  aticonfig --initial

                  [michael@localhost ~]$ aticonfig -initial
                  Warning: Could not find configuration file
                  Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11
                  [michael@localhost ~]$ aticonfig --initial
                  Found fglrx primary device section
                  Nothing to do, terminating.
