In quotes will be something like "1:0:0" (there will be different numbers depending on your card) Before that string of numbers, add "PCI:", to make it look like this: "PCI:1:0:0".
    This seems to have worked for me. Currently running AIGLX at ~2300fps in glxgears and between 505 and 515 fps in fgl_glxgears.

    Had a few issues getting it going, but i think that was related to XGL and my xorg.conf.

        i dont have a BusID field at all - 1400X, Suse 10.3

        hello!!! help!!!

        i'm a novice, so this is really discouraging me. i'm using a dell inspiron 9400, mobility 1400X, opensuse 10.3, 64bit version. i should have a resolution of 1400x900, but dont get it. I don't have any 3D either. i downloaded the driver from http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...64-radeon.html. i installed it, and BAM! it failed to get the graphical screen. Ctrl +Alt + F1 failed to get console too. i had to reboot with single option at GRUB prompt, and replace the xorg.conf file with a backup i made. that got me back my graphics, but still with a resolution of 1152x864. i tried did an uninstall of the fglrx driver, and reinstalled and it broke again. i get the error message
        (EE) fglrx(0): Failed to initialize ASIC in kernel. etc,etc

        however i DONT HAVE A BusID line in my xorg.conf file at all!

        what do i do?



        I hope i've provided enough information

          You are not alone. I've this issue with the 8.5 release on ubuntu hardy with a X1300 pcie.

          This driver seems to be worse for my card every release.

          I had no BusID in my xorg.conf, now i have but it doesn't make any difference. Someone has a clue to help me out?

                  Not sure if this is relevant, but how much system memory do you have ? Wondering if this might be a low memory issue; looks like we're trying to grab 256MB during kernel driver initialization and failing.

                    Nah, probably not memory. I suspect a bad installation.

                    Start fresh with "sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/fglrx", then install again. (You might consider first switching to the vesa driver and rebooting to the the fglrx modules 'n everything unloaded.)
                    I've written a script for Ubuntu types to assist in installation... You can get it here. (Excuse the messy post there, I have yet to clean it up.)

                    EDIT: Oh yeah, that'll install Catalyst 8.4 (the most recent being 8.5). If you want/need Catalyst 8.5, you can edit lines 69 and 72, replacing the "8-4-x86" with "8-5-x86". No other changes are necessary.

                      Thanks for the answer, the errors are gone, but nothing is displayed. So I have a black screen.. The last rows in my Xorg.1.log are:

                      nodri en no composite is for testing..

                      But for now i will stay at the OSS driver with 3d. (the former fglrx had also problems on my system, that is why I gave it a try).
