ATI Driver problem. - modernbob - 2006-02-02
I installed ATI drivers in FC4-x64 and although they appear to operate they lock my machine up if I let DRI load. I have to comment out the DRI section of xorg.conf.
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
# Load "dri"
EndSection
If I run glxgears I get the following.
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
508 frames in 6.0 seconds = 84.667 FPS
480 frames in 6.0 seconds = 80.000 FPS
360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 72.000 FPS
I am running an ATI 9700 Pro card. The ATI control panel works fine but again if I enable DRI the machine will lock up as soon as Fedora loads the driver. I have looked all over the place for an answer to this one and can't seem to find anything definite. If anyone has managed to get this driver to work please tell me how or at least post your xorg.conf as I have nothing to compare this to. My xorg.conf is listed below.
# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

ATI Driver problem. - modernbob - 2006-02-03
Well, did all updates and still when I enable dri I get the hour glass and four vertical lines on the screen when fedora loads. I should have kept the nvidia card I had as those drivers loaded up properly and they worked right. In any case I have noticed that there are a lot more problems with ATI drivers working linux than Nvidia drivers or at least it appears so. I guess it's not a big deal as I am not playing games on this machine but it would be really great to get these working properly. Thanks for the help RWO
