  • they are just like telling you to wait till the next generation of GPUs to come up and then they will improve the R600 driver. Anyway, i got problem running Xgl + windows manager. It just freezes the whole screen when composite windows manager is executed. and clues?

      You could wait till 8.42 and just use AIGLX

      • Stupid fellas

        Sorry for insult.

        READ THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN INFO FOR GOD SAKE,
        ATI/AMD CLEARLY SAYS, THIS DRIVER IS INTENDED FOR HD SERIES VIDEOCARDS, OTHER USERS SHOULD STICK TO THE PREVIOUS RELEASES.

        go, READ...

        well, now to my stuff, okey i fixed a symlink with libgl.1.0 or what it was again, well... now i got another damn issue stuck up in my ass.

        atkins@atkins-desktop:~$ glxinfo
        name of display: :0.0
        X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
        Major opcode of failed request: 0 ()
        Serial number of failed request: 8
        Current serial number in output stream: 8
        atkins@atkins-desktop:~$

        fun fun fun..

        Got HD 2900 XT

        • When I got the 8.41 driver first time in hand and installed it, up on restart I say half scan line of random pixels on the top of screen I knew something was not right...

          Then there's extreme 2D slowdown, like draging a Digg webpage would stuck like my 3.5GHz Core 2 is a Pentium II dog.

          I removed the 8.41 right away. Knowing it has great OpenGL code base but I just can't enjoy it while there are so many rough edges in the driver... Donno if one month.... 5 weeks polishing is enough to removed those bugs or not.

          • I have Mobility Radeon x2300 (debian kernel - 22, xorg 1.4)

            8.42 starts without any trouble and opengl working the same as 41.7

            but with aiglx:

            xorg.log: (WW marked)

            (WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
            (WW) fglrx(0): Only one display is connnected,so single mode is enabled
            (WW) fglrx(0): could not detect X server version (query_status=-3)
            (WW) fglrx(0): Option "FSAAEnable" is not used
            (WW) fglrx(0): Option "FSAADisableGamma" is not used
            (WW) fglrx(0): Option "RenderAccel" is not used
            (WW) fglrx(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
            (WW) fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used
            (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x25
            (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x26
            and soon
            (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x78

            is it ok?

            and when I'm trying to start compiz 5.2 it is saying:

            GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not available with direct rendering.
            GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not available with indirect rendering. Aborting!

            but when I call compiz.real --replace it starts somehow but in a strange way (no headers of windows and no switching between desktops and no keyboard entering ) )

            upd: oh, misunderstood. doesn't start at all..

            what is the problem, anybody, can you help?

            • The Xserver 1.4 support is half broken:

              a) First 3d app does not work (you have to close it)

              b) AIGLX does not work

              It works with Xserver 1.3 however, if you like downgrade.

              • Hi everybody,
                Well i don`t know were my last write went, but anyway now i get the openSUSE 10.3 +xorg7.2+fglrx 8.41.7 work even after reboot,
                But on this morning when i boot my pc, it didn`t work anymore" just black screen again, and i have to go init 3 to get log in..
                Does anybody have suggestion what to do?
                the 8.42.3 version what i also try it, didn`t work either, on list i did not found suse 10.3 that i could build the package for it.
                Ou and i`m using kernel 2.6.22.9 with suse patch.

                Ps. sorry my english is little bit rust.
