Originally posted by Extreme Coder View PostThanks a lot Execute_Method, I will try that soon. Maybe that's why it wasn't working the whole time.
Is the r300 module used for the R500 series as well?
I have an x1650(rv535)AGP.
using xorg1.5-rc6, mesa 7.1-1, ati6.9.
FYI, I was never able to get the radeonhd driver to work right....plus I think the ati driver is still better for our cards.Last edited by Execute_Method; 10 September 2008, 08:34 AM.

It didn't work
And I was almost sure it will work this time :/
libgl's dri files conflict with xf86-video-ati's dri files (r300 and radeon). I tried launching X, once with the DRI files from libgl, once with xf86-video-ati's, same results
I hope that it will improve once X server 1.5 and X.org 7.4 move from testing to core..

From the radeonhd x.org wiki:
Check it out, it might help you.
The process about the same for radeon!
BTW I'm pretty sure(according to build order) that the r300&radeon driver files (provided by libgl) have to be in place *BEFORE* building ati.
The subsystems have to be built and installed in the following order:
* dri2proto
*
mesa (add --with-dri-drivers=radeon,r300,swrast to ./autogen.sh to speed up the build considerably)
* Xserver: If using x86_64 we need to build the xserver, which is quite painful:
o xextproto
o xproto (is named x11proto in the git repository)
o inputproto
o pixman
o xserver
o xf86-input-mouse
o xf86-input-keyboard
o xf86-input-evdev (if used)
* radeonhdLast edited by Execute_Method; 11 September 2008, 04:46 PM.
