[solved] Dapper + fglrx + samsung p35 + ATI Mobility 9600

[mmg]

Hi,

hopefully someone can help me. Since I upgraded to Dapper I've no 3D-Support anymore. fglrxinfo:

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)

I've got a Samsung P35 Notebook with ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (lspci: Mobility Radeon 9600 M10. Never knew about M10 before). With Breezy fglrx worked find. But I'm not sure which fglrx version I had installed.

With Dapper now I installed xorg-driver-fglrx 6.9.0-8.23.7+2.6.5.7-4 and xserver-xorg 7.0.0-0ubuntu28. lsmod|grep fglrx lists:

fglrx                 465864  7
agpgart                36784  2 fglrx,intel_agp

I several times checked xorg.conf but can't see why OpenGL isn't running properly. I will list parts of xorg.conf below and attach a screenshot of ATI control.

Any hints? Thanx in advance!

EDIT:
This Thread is really helpful:

With strace fglrxinfo I found out that this dirctory is missing:

/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

So I created following link:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

And finally fglrx is working fine:

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5755 (8.24.8)

Cheers,

Me again. I already checked the MTRR problem.

... and dmesg |grep fglrx:

As far as I can see there are no problems.

Hi all,

I still have no clue.  I read every howto and faq I can find. I several times uninstalled and installed the driver etc. Are there other users with this notebook or this video card? Do you have the same problem or is everything working fine?

Thanx for every hint!!!
