Vid Card Problem

[D92]

Hi, I cannot seem to get hardware rendering working, glxinfo outputs 'Direct rendering: No' and my section in xorg.conf is:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Driver      "fglrx"
EndSection

glxgears runs slowly enough to be noticably slow (It Runs PERFECT for 2 seconds then it goes VERY VERY SLOW). I installed the ATI drivers using easyubuntu. I am running Kubuntu dapper.

Have you tried these:

Ubuntu Dapper Installation Guide (fglrx drivers)

Configuring
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring

From my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 9600 XT (RV350 AR)"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
EndSection

Re: Vid Card Problem

There is also Kommander script/gui for fglrx video driver:

fglrxKonf
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43612

Description:
This is a Kommander frontend for ATI fglrx video card driver utility "aticonfig".

It can be used to configure the newly installed fglrx driver, setup tv-out and different screen configuration options. It also reads and displays the fglrx configuration from /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

It is tested on Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06) system with fglrx 8.26.18 version, but should also work with older fglrx versions, that provide "aticonfig" utility. I created it since I found that fglrx-control gui tool, installed with fglrx driver, is constantly diminishing in features and basically useless.
