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

Hmm - something to try:

Ubuntu Dapper Installation Guide:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide

Missing fglrx.ko

If fglrx.ko is not being loaded properly, then /var/log/Xorg.0.log will say things like :

[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"
(WW) fglrx(0): Failed to load DRM connection
(EE) GART is not initialized, disabling DRI

modprobe shows the problem is

sudo modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory

The solution is to run depmod again with the -e option.

sudo depmod -ae

So you could try:

Code:

:~$ sudo depmod -ae

+ restart

Did it help ?

If not - Next is from feisty getting feisty with my fglrx modules:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414604

Hi I got the same problem and when i looked to which modules were loaded, I missed fglrx. You can see which modules are loaded with the command lsmod.

For some reason the module doesn't get loaded.

To "fix" this, add fglrx to /etc/modules

sudo su -
echo fglrx >> /etc/modules

Hmm - this is old one. I have fglrx installation instructions for breezy. It says:

Add fglrx to /etc/modules (optional, the advantages/drawbacks of this are: ......)

So try Alt + F2:
kdesu kate /etc/modules

/etc/modules file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded at boot time.

My /etc/modules:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic
lp
mousedev
psmouse
fglrx

...

And fglrx module check:

Code:

:~$ lsmod | grep fglrx

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

rog131 sorry for the delayed responce again

i decided to reboot system again.. and it took me a while, since i suffered from corrupt cd errors numerous times, but i finally got system back up .. this time after installation of kubuntu 7.04. i got the black screen again

i did

1)

Code:

 apt-get update

2)

Code:

 apt-get upgrade

3)

Code:

 shutdown -r now

after logging back in backed up my xorg.conf file and then

4)

Code:

 sude nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and changed default "fglrx" to "vesa" and restarted again

5)

Code:

 apt-get update

6)

Code:

 apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

7)

Code:

 aticonfig --initial --force

and restarted again

8 )

Code:

fglrxinfo

i got

Code:

 enigma@kubuntu:~$ fglrxinfo
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: [url]www.mesa3d.org[/url]
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2)

9) so added following to xorg.conf

Code:

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

+

Code:

Option "TexturedVideo" "on"

+
and ran

Code:

 sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

which in turn automatically added following to xorg.conf file

Code:

 Option   "VideoOverlay" "On"
Option   "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

10) restarted again and ran

Code:

fglrxinfo

this time outcome was

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)

so i decided to run

*)

Code:

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

outcome

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"
    (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

(WW) fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used

Code:

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

outcome

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom

*)

Code:

glxinfo | grep direct

outcome

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

so does this mean i have 3d acceleration now?

i still dont get

Code:

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.

am i suppose to have that directory?

Code:

(WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used

are those normal outcomes? am i suppose to edit them some how?

and what about

Code:

(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom

should i add

Code:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option      "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

aren't it only valid if i have official ATI driver i.e. 8.36.5 ?

also xf86OpenSerial part what should be there?

i will only attempt to install beryl after i get ur replay

thanks again for helping me so much

okay i added

Code:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option      "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

now my outcomes are

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"
    (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"
    (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Code:

root@kubuntu:~# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

do you recommend that i should upgrade to to latest ATI driver? is it any better then what i have now?

thanks again

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

Yup - Good to hear

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
am i suppose to have that directory?

Only if you need cyrillic fonts - It's only warning/notice.

(WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used

are those normal outcomes? am i suppose to edit them some how?

They are only notices. If you really want. Here is example what to offer in the Vendor/Model
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ntry&item=2250

should i add
Code:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

aren't it only valid if i have official ATI driver i.e. 8.36.5 ?

No it is valid for all fglrx drivers. Fglrx don't work with AIGLX -> that is the reason why you have to use XGL.

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom

do you recommend that i should upgrade to to latest ATI driver? is it any better then what i have now?

I upgraded to 8.36.5. Did i notice something ? - Well - Ati catalyst control center (fglrx-amdcccle) is prettier that control panel for the ATI graphics accelerators (fglrx-control)

.

Ati/Amd is fixing bugs (and making new ones). Talk about that:
8.36.5 Display Driver Released
http://rage3d.com/board/showthread.p...901&t=33888737

I have older hardware (9600XT) so i don't get much benefit from new drivers. This may be different for newer hardware.

Notes about GLX -Beryl (with my hardware):
When Glx is running -> KWin (KDE Window Manager) is really slow. But when i start Beryl-manager everything is ok (and choose Window manager => Beryl).

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

oh man it seems i have hit a problem

after installed emerald theme manager .. it opens up at start up.. and nothin is on theme window .. even after i click on fetch theme button.. and all windows doesnt have close or maximize buttons on them?

what can i do?

is emerald-themes package installed ?

**adarkenigma** · May 07, 2007, 05:48 AM

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

yes its installed .. its wat pops up after i login in but its blank under theme section.. maybe i need to add somethin to sources.list? so it can retrieve the update... but last time when it was installed it had already themes install on the themes window

sorry one more thing ... after upgrading to ATI's 8.36.5
i get

Code:

(WW) LoadModule: given non-canonical module name "glesx.so"

is that a big problem?

**Rog131** · May 07, 2007, 07:26 AM

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

its wat pops up after i login in but its blank under theme section.

I think that is Emerald Themer 0.2.0 (Emerald Theme manager)

If you go to the package manager (adept/synaptic/whatever) and search:
emerald-themes -> it tells:

emerald-themes (0.2.0~0beryl1)
Package of themes for Emerald
Many preset themes for Emerald

Install it -> Now Emerald Themer 0.2.0 should have 40+ themes in the Themes tab.

(WW) LoadModule: given non-canonical module name "glesx.so"

is that a big problem?

I don't think so: WW -> it's warning/notice.

More about glesx.so
AMD 8.36.5 Display Driver
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item=685&num=1

In this driver are two new files: esut.a and glesx.so. These are new X.Org modules for the fglrx driver and specifically involve TexturedVideo and OpenGL ES.
