Legacy ATI fglrx Drivers For R200 Products on Fedora Core 6 Zod

[JEWilson]

FireGL Support

Michael, are you sure that the drivers are not getting released by tomorrow?

Apologies if I am off topic, I'm a newbie

I have a ATI Fire GL 4 AGP Pro w/station card
After a clean install of Suse 9.0, a supplied
dependcy check scrip from ATI tells me the
distro above runs XFree v4.3 and glibc 2.3

The last drivers ATI have supplied are for
distro's which support XFree 4.2 and glibc 2.2.
This is as good as it gets... so it appears.

To be fair, the ATI script whilst detailing the
above, does suggest I try a R200 driver package
instead and names r200glib21.tgz

As you are discussing r200 support in this thread,
it was my expectation, you might shed some light
on the case for the FireGL4.

Would I be required to go back to a distro that
supports XFree 4.2 and glibc 2.2 or.... is there
a better, smarter mousetrap out there for this
card?

Any help and insight greatly appreciated
Thanks

Can't get script mentioned at top of this thread

I am also grateful that someone worked through getting the driver to work on Fedora 6 for the legacy cards. However, I can't access the script that is mentioned at the top of this thread (#342).

Trying to access (http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/down...y-generator.sh) give me "Page not found".

I think somewhere in another thread, someone mentioned that the web site has been revamped. Any chance the link to this valuable script can be fixed?

Thanks!

The new mobo is a direct replacement. I have a HP Pavilion laptop. It is still under the 3 year bestbuy warranty. In my Xorg.0.log it says the BIOS reports the panel as 1200x800 and so even if I specify modelines with hsync vsync etc it still ends up in 1200x800.

Here's my source tree. The kernel headers usually reside in /lib/modules/(active kernel)/build. This is mapping to the correct directory. The error I'm getting is the same as if I ran the ati*.run file.

Quick note. You can do dual head with the radeon driver

The following xorg.conf options in your device section should enable it, change the Metamodes and rates to your setup.

# enable radeon specific xinerama
Option "MergedFB" "true"
Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf"
Option "CRT2Hsync" "50-75"
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "30-82"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1280x1024"
Option "MergedNonRectangular" "true"

The 1680x1050 problem. is that because your new mb has a GC that cant handle it or is the driver responding wrongly and wont let you set it to that resolution?

[ijbrooks]

Do you have kernel headers or kernel source installed? It looks like you might be missing these.

Help please

I'm having trouble building this. It's likely something I'm not doing right. I need the fglrx driver because since my mobo was replaced by service technicians my LCD panel will top out at 1200x800 instead of the 1680x1050 I'm used to. Also, I have in the past run dual head which is impossible with xorg's "radeon".

I have a stock 2.6.18 kernel that was updated to the usual FC settings expect for 4K stacks which break vmware and driverloader. This kernel is in /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.

Here is the tee output from the shell operation.

sh fglrx-fc6 ...

Thank you for posting.

[ijbrooks]

Kirsch,

Thanks for posting the files. I have now been able to recreate my *hack* to get them working on 2.6.20 kernels.

I have made 2 diff files that fix the cail and cmmqs problems

http://ijbrooks.dyn-o-saur.com/fglrx...20_kernel.diff
http://ijbrooks.dyn-o-saur.com/fglrx...20_kernel.diff

You can also find pre packaged rpm's for kernels at this url. Ill add kernel-2.6.20-1.2948 rpms once i get home and can reboot my laptop.

http://ijbrooks.dyn-o-saur.com/fglrx/

However I did find out that ATI's site is wrong when it comes to supported version as the Radeon 9000 Pro is still supported by the official version so it turns out i can use the lates ati drivers anyway.

Could someone please e-mail me the generator script?
