AMD ATI 8.33.6 Driver Released

[Michael]

I have seen support with the two above mentioned Chipsets, and I see you are using the 791e:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 791e

You may need to wait for the drivers this month to come out.

Thanks! I am looking forward to get this new release ASAP,

It's been a long time. And I'm getting a whole lot of nothing out of a card I paid good money to get to work.

I'm hair close to opening my box and tearing my x800 to pieces, just to satisfy my growing angst.

I have no idea what caused my drivers to stop functioning and I have too much data to lose by reinstalling Fedora. Reinstalling Linux? Is that even a solution Linux-worthy?

The amount of up-time I have on my Fedora box has been close to zero. Everytime I see Mesa kills me. Rage3D boards have been of little help either. This is mucho sucko grande and I have no idea what that meant.

[Michael]

What errors do you have in your log or where exactly is it failing?

[niniendowarrior]

It's the same thing, Michael. The agp error and nobody seems to really know what to do.

Is AGP now so old that nobody even knows it exists? I find that hard to believe.

Help with video playback !!

Can anyone help please.

I am trying to get video playback working on a Mandriva2007 x64 system. Card is X1600 pro, Kernel 2.6.17, ati drivers 8.33.6. Opengl works, I guess I lucked out on that. However I can not get videos to play, movies or mpeg clips. I have the players installed and they work if I switch video driver to fbdev. I guess it is something missing from my xorg.conf file but I can not find any information on what options are needed to make video playback work. I am including my xorg.conf file; don't quite know what all the options are for, they were put there by xfdrake

Are your videos using the X-Video extension? At this time x86_64 Linux has a bug with X.Org 6.9+ when using X-Video. This bug should be fixed shortly.

Dunno, I assume you mean the players. I think mplayer does not reference X-Video in codecs.conf. Is there some specific method of determining that?

[Michael]

mplayer > preferences > Video

If xv is selected, for the time being you could switch to gl or gl2.
