    fglrx 8.32.5 and Xorg 7.2??

    Hello,
    I just switched from Slackware 11 to Frugalware current, which has Xorg 7.2 RC3.
    I installed the lastest fglrx driver and modules, everything seemed ok. But 3d acceleration doesn't work at all!!
    Here's the interested part in Xorg.0.log:
    Code:
    (EE) fglrx: Failed to load module "drm" (module does not exist, 0)
    and:
    Code:
    (EE) fglrx: Failed to load module "drm" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) fglrx(0): Failed to load drm module.
(EE) fglrx(0): Failed to initialize GPS!
(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): ********************************************* *
    Here's dmesg | grep fglrx:
    Code:
    fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 1898 MBytes.
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.32.5 [Dec 12 2006] on minor 0
    Of course I asked on Frugalware forums before posting here, but they told me probably Xorg 7.2 is not supported yet.. Is this the case? Thx

    X.Org 7.2 is supported by the 8.32.5 drivers. However, between RC2 and RC3 was a change that really shouldn't have taken place (with drm not being loaded by default) and resulted in some problems for the fglrx drivers.

    A SuSE developer had written a patch so the fglrx drivers can be used with X.Org 7.2 RC3 / final, but unfortunately I no longer have the patch in my inbox. A patch initially appeared on an internal ATI beta mailing list, but it may be on the SuSE forums or some other site now. The fglrx drivers should work with OpenSuSE 10.2.

      fglrx 8.32.5 have support for xorg 7.2 i am running it fine on Radeon 9800, opensuse 10.2 (xorg 7.2) although as in my question (other thread) there seems to be some problems with my sons x1900 card and opengl.

        Oh crap! So I have to wait for a new Xorg release, hoping they will fix that?? A new ATI driver is not going to fix it, right? Thx for the help

          Well, you could recompile it with the patch. Hopefully X.Org 7.2 final will adopt the patch.

            OK! I found it:
            https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9367


            Any tips on how to recompile Xorg?

              Thanks to a developer of Frugalware I installed a new Xorg package with the patch. It seems to work but I still can't get the 3d acceleration .

              Here's Xorg.0.log: http://forums.frugalware.org/index.p...2d4a61bb8c9ec5

              As you can see it says:
