Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

Hmm - Strange - You could:

#1 Press Alt + F2 and then:

Code:

kdesu kate /etc/apt/preferences

#2 Press Alt + F2 and then:

Code:

kdesu konqueror

You are now 'root mode'. Goto /etc/apt/ and right click -> create new text file ...

#3 Make preferences file in the /home/user directory and copy it to the /etc/apt/.
In the konsole

Code:

sudo cp /home/user/preferences /etc/apt/preferences

Code:

sudo chmod -v 755 /etc/apt/preferences

From UNIX permissions and chmod tutorial
http://www.unixcities.com/howto/index3.html

So, 755 is a terse way to say 'I don't mind if other people read or run this file, but only I should be able to modify it' and 777 means 'everyone has full access to this file'

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

okay i did most of that but it still doesnt work

and when entering this

Code:

sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

i get this

Warning: Option 'VideoOverlay' doesn't affect running session.
Warning: Option 'OpenGLOverlay' doesn't affect running session.

do i need to upgrade my driver?

Edit: i guess i shouldnt update to ATI's official driver since.. they dont support xgl/beryl
and some other guide said .. it should run fine on driver that came with cd.. (well driver that came with cd didnt work for me .. i had to get from xorg-driver-fglrx

does anyone has any ideas?

p.s. : pressing ALT + F2 doesnt open command window for me

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

Lost

most of that but it still doesnt work

Most of what ? You can't create preferences file or what?

fglrx vs. open ati

and when entering this

sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

i get this

i haven't upgraded to latest ATI driver .. i am still using xorg drive

Are you using fglrx driver ?

What says:

Code:

:~$ fglrxinfo

X.Org X server -- ATI display driver
This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description)
provides support for the ATI Mach, Rage, Radeon, and FireGL series. It
provides the 'atimisc', 'r128' and 'radeon' sub-drivers.

Note that this is not the same as the ATI-provided, binary-only, 'fglrx'
driver, which provides additional 3D functionality for some newer Radeon
cards, but is not supported.

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

Since version 8.18.6 the fglrx driver includes the aticonfig tool which simplifies xorg.conf editing. Here are some useful commands this tool offers (for a complete list see aticonfig --help).

fglrx = ATI Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver = closed-source ATI driver

Latest driver from Ati is 8.36.5 (new fglrx)

And from repositories 8.34.8 (older fglrx)

XGL vs. AIGLX

Edit: i guess i shouldnt update to ATI's official driver since.. they dont support xgl/beryl

Installing Beryl On An Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Desktop With An ATI Radeon Graphic Card
http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_fei...ryl_ati_radeon

We will use the open-source ATI driver that comes with Ubuntu plus AIGLX to achieve this; the other way to do this would be to use the closed-source ATI driver together with XGL which seems to be a bit unstable.

What do you want ?
Beryl with AIGLX (using open source ATI driver)
or
Beryl with XGL (using closed-source ATI driver = fglrx)

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

Hmm - I did install Beryl (with XGL) as told in the http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/I...eisty_with_XGL

What i did :

1 Testing if i really have fglrx:

Code:

:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 XT
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8 )

2 Adding deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ feisty main
in the /etc/apt/sources.list

Hmm - do you find errors or warnings in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Errors:

Code:

:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"

Warnings:

Code:

:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"

Have you tried different kind of startxgl.sh scripts ?

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

i think i need to enable 3D acceleration in order to make beryl work .. can some tell me how do i enable that? and if possible i would like to use aiglx since its better then glx.

and

Code:

sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

doesnt work

**Rog131** · May 03, 2007, 12:27 PM

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

Check that you have:
linux-restricted-modules
xorg-driver-fglrx

As said in the Ubuntu Feisty Installation Guide (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide)

===> Method 1: Install the Driver the Ubuntu (Kubuntu) Way

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) #Okay if it is already installed
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo depmod -a

Restart. Do you still get "DRI initialization failed !" ?

About AVIVO warning:

(WW) fglrx(0): Video Overlay not supported on AVIVO based graphics cards. For XVideo support use Option "TexturedVideo".

From http://www.acaciaclose.co.uk/33727/34627.html

AVIVO support
As of June 2006 the ATI driver now supports XV acceleration using the 3D engine for those parts that support AVIVO. You can enable the AVIVO Support using the "TexturedVideo" Option above. This will replace the normal Xv Overlay with an AVIVO Xv Overlay.

So insert Option "TexturedVideo" "on" in the xorg.conf section device.

if possible i would like to use aiglx since its better then glx.

Then try this:
Installing Beryl On An Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Desktop With An ATI Radeon Graphic Card

**adarkenigma** · May 04, 2007, 05:44 AM

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

yes i checked that i have linux-restricted-modules driver

i still get the same error after inserting "TexturedVideo" "on" in device section

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
    Driver   "fglrx"
    Option   "TexturedVideo" "On"
    Option   "VideoOverlay" "On"
    Option   "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
EndSection

how do i check and see if i have everything installed right? .. maybe i am missing somethin ?

i am willing to even try "Compiz" since it less stressfull on system .. but i dont understand why cant i enable 3d thing

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

Hmm - you could:

#1 Backup xorg.conf - Why ->
HOWTO : Disaster Recovery and xorg.conf
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3082808.0

#2 Reconfigure xserver:

Code:

:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

- Use delfaults/Simple
- When it asks: Select the desired X server driver. -> fglrx

#3 Check that new xorg.conf has:

Code:

Option   "TexturedVideo" "On"

and

Code:

Section "Extensions"
	Option		"Composite"	"0"
EndSection

#4 Restart

#5 Testing

Code:

:~$ glxinfo | grep direct

should be Yes

Code:

:~$ fglrxinfo

should be fglrx
Check Xorg.0.log (errors&warnings)

**adarkenigma** · May 05, 2007, 12:27 AM

Re: i want to install Beryl on Kubuntu 7.04 graphic card is ATI x1400

okay after backing up xorg.conf

i Reconfigure xserver by using

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

very first thing it asked was Select the desired X server driver.

i selected 'fglrx"

after that it asked me for "Video card's bus identifier" i left it as "PCI:1:0:0"
then there were other things about keyboard and stuff .. i left it at default.. and when it asked me about
"Method for selecting the monitor characteristics:" (i guess thas wat you meant my default/simple) i left it at Simple
then i checked the xorg.conf to see if

Code:

Option   "TexturedVideo" "On"

and this

Code:

Section "Extensions"
    Option        "Composite"    "0"
EndSection

was there under 'device" section and it wasnt

so i added it and restarted

after logging back in i ran

Code:

glxinfo | grep direct

i got

Code:

enigma@kubuntu:~$ glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

and after

Code:

fglrxinfo

i got

Code:
