    9.10 & ATI

    I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10

    My video card: ATI Radeon HD 2600XT

    Problem: getting no driver installed


    I used several options on the internet, but none of them worked. The last ons I tried was: http://nickhumphrey.net/showthread.php?p=3345

    All installation worked, xconf.org is the same. But still, my system won't start the driver!

    bernd@bdesktop:/etc/apt$ glxinfo
    name of display: :0.0
    X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
    Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX)
    Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
    Serial number of failed request: 14
    Current serial number in output stream: 14


    Any idea's?

    look around this forum you will find quite a few instructions on how to install your driver.

        Indeed,


        Just tried it, succesfull installation but after reboot still no difference!

        Installing the driver manually also didn't work out though it was installed 'succesfully'.


        My alternatives are getting small here

        I guess I'll need to go back to 8.04 LTS. Though it is kind off stupid...

              Re: 9.10 & ATI

              every thing there look fine your should have the driver loaded, to confirm you accually running the driver..
              [code=run in konsole]lsmod | grep fglrx[/code]
              if it shows in the list your using the driver. your glx portion maybe broken or missing.

                IIRC, you need to uninstall any existing ATI proprietary driver first, before you run the Envy-NG script.

                  Re: 9.10 & ATI

                  Uninstall first other installations... indeed, I've done that during the first attempts by several different commands. How do you know when a driver is succesfully uninstalled?

                  Anyway, the driver seems to be installed:

                  bernd@bdesktop:/etc/X11$ lsmod | grep fglrx
                  fglrx 2234552 28

                  GLX then? Wich packages must be installed or how can I test glx?

                  Currently installed:

                  libgl1-mesa-glx -dev and -dri

                    you can test glx by running
                    [code=run in konsole]glxgears[/code]

                      Re: 9.10 & ATI

                      Indeed, but that doesn't work either (same error as glxinfo)

                      But a strange (good) thing happened. When I ran KDE4.3 (original) again, the driver works suddenly (apparantly envy-NG did his work but didn't applied it to KDE3.5...)

                      With the 3D rendering working, KDE4.3 seems extremely nice I'll think I'll let KDE3.5 behind now!

                      Still wondering what happened...


                      Thanks to all for your advises!
