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
