Hi All
I am having no end of problems getting the fglrx drivers working properly with XVideo support on my X1600Pro HDMI. First off, here are the important bits of hardware:
- Sapphire X1600Pro HDMI
- ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard
- AMD X2 3800+
I am running Gentoo amd64, with kernel 2.6.19 (I need to use this instead of .18 for some other hardware), and Xorg 7.1.1. I've tried all the driver versions in portage that compile against 2.6.19. All drivers end up with DRI enabled (but seemingly low FPS in glxgears - ~250fps).
- 8.28.8-r1: xvinfo reports there are no adapters available. Playback in mythtv is horribly slow, and glxgears runs at ~250fps
- 8.30.3-r1: xvinfo shows that xv is ready. When I try to use mythtv for playback, X crashes immediately.
- 8.32.5: Same results as 8.30.3
- 8.33.6-r2: X refuses to load. The machine does not lock up, but I cannot kill X no matter what (kill -9 has no effect).
I feel like I must have some sort of weird hardware or software combination, with all these drivers failing so horribly. Is the glxgears 250fps low for this card (I don't know what a reasonable value is)?
Anyone have any idea where to start looking for answers?
TIA
Dave
