Fullscreen 3D fglrx problem

[segalion]

I have a problem with my ATI X200M and fglrx (from 8.6 to 8.9), running applications in fullscreen mode. The image is absolutely without sync.
I have tested without compiz (metacity --replace&, disabling desktop efects, etc.), testing a lot of [device] xorg options..., and it remains the same...

It seems like it doesnt get the correct modeline, but I dont find any log eroor.


Application affected are:
- stellarium. It work fine if running windowed.
- f-spot in "presentation mode".
- sinatra. It work fine if running windowed.
- mupen64plus with rice video plugin. glide64 plugin work fine.
- All wine 3D games... (even in other resolutions).


I have seen some post related, but with no solution for me...

fglrx does not honour xorg.conf modelines if /etc/ati/amdpcsdb is present. It recreates this file any time X exits.

Try:
log out of X
switch to VT
log in as root
shut down X
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
or
/etc/init.d/kdm stop

rm /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
reboot

Thanks a lot. I will try it this night... and report if success or not...

NEVER enable render - that emulates composite!

#Option "RENDER" "Enable"

It doesnt work.

But I have discover that running with sudo (root) or with
#export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
before running fullscreen applications make it work fine, but maybe a little slow.

I dont know what this make. It is recomended for compiz. Moreover I remember to try without this with no good result.
