fireglcontrolpanel + FC6

[Michael]

If you are encountering an issue when generating Fedora FC6 RPMs with the fglrx 8.29.6 drivers, read this thread.

Prior to posting make sure kernel-devel, kernel-headers, qt-devel, and all of the standard development libraries and tools are installed and working.

File not found: /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.28.8-1-32131-root/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.28.8-1.fc6-root-root/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel

This problem has appeared to pop up with some users. Nothing with fireglcontrolpanel had changed from the 8.28.8 to 8.29.6 drivers when it comes to the Fedora packaging scripts, and no users had reported problems with FC5. So far I have installed well over a dozen Fedora 6 ATI machines and haven't run into this problem (I came across it once or twice a few weeks ago on Rawhide).

If you are one of these users with build troubles, try building fireglcontrolpanel from source to see if it works or what errors are outputted.

To grab the source, pass the argument of --extract to the 8.29.6 driver installer. It will then make the fglrx-install folder. From there, grab fglrx-install/common/usr/src/fglrx/fglrx_panel_sources.tgz and extract the contents.

Run make in the extracted folder from fglrx_panel_sources.tgz. If the compilation errors out, post the output. Thanks.

[Michael]

You have qt-devel and libraries installed, correct? For Qt 3.3 (not Qt4).

[semi]

qt-3.3.4-15.5.i386.rpm
says a newer version is installed.

[Michael]

qt-3.3.4-15.5.i386.rpm
says a newer version is installed.

If I recall, Qt 3.3.7 is the latest in the 3.3 branch, which is probably the "newer version". So do you also have qt-devel-3.3* installed?

[semi]

yes.
qt-devel-3.3.7-0.1.fc6.i386.rpm is already installed

thanks again for your patience.

[Shinigami2057]

Hey all, I figured out how to fix it. I extracted the package and examined the makefile for the control panel, and it seems to be assuming that the qt libraries are always in /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 (/usr/{LIB_DIR}/{MK_QTDIR}/{LIB_DIR}) when it should be /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64. I got the package to generate properly by creating a symbolic link lib64 to lib/. Everything worked fine after that.

[Shinigami2057]

Erm, I meant to say that it should be looking for qt libs in /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib. Sorry for any confusion.

[semi]

that did it. fixed my problem. It all works perfectly now.
thanks alot for that Shinigami2057 and thanks very much for all you help michael.
:D

[Michael]

Does it work out with 8.30.3?

[semi]

I just saw the thread about them being out after I got 8.29.6 to work. just restarted now after installing 8.30.3 and it is working fine. The control panel still doesn't work but the drivers are working and I just edit my xorf.conf.
the gnome menu ati control says:

Failed to execute child process "fireglcontrolpanel" (No such file or directory)
and the installation:

and the installation in terminal:
http://linpaste.efnet-linux.com:7000/181

but i'm fine with that.

[platini]

Symbolic link hack confirmed to work in 8.30 also.

[jonastio]

While trying to compile the control panel seperately I got this error:

I tried looking around but couldn't find any decent guesses as to what I need to do here. I've got the qt packages required (as far as I can tell) to get this installed, but still a no-go.

Did you try creating the symbolic link as mentioned in an earlier post?

[jonastio]

Did you try creating the symbolic link as mentioned in an earlier post?

You know, I may just be blind as a bat or staring at apache config files all day have made me go loopy, but I tried to do as such the best I could. I didn't see any lib64 directories anywhere so I linked /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib and then /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib64 to /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib.

To me though, it looked like both directory trees showed /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 in the previous post explaining the link, so maybe I just didn't get it.

EDIT: Well, I *did* notice the remark afterwards, and yes, I created the links like the fella said.

[semi]

that's what I did.
ln -sf /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib
I have no /usr/lib64 either.

[jonastio]

Odd, it went through when I edited the Makefile lines

from:
LIBQT_DYN = qt

to:
LIBQT_DYN = qt-mt

now it cannot find -lGL

BAH!

[jonastio]

Also, created a symbolic link in /usr/lib
ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so

Edit:

Also created links in /usr/lib

ln -s libXmu.so.6 libXmu.so
ln -s libXxf86vm.so.1 libXxf86vm.so

Hi Micheal,

As an update I am getting the fireglcontrolpanel error even with 8.30 I am getting a strange rpmLib error. Here is the output from the installer.

Is this an AMD64 issue? I had to cut parts out because of the 10000 character limit

[Michael]

Should work on x86_64.

Did you try the symbolic link hack mentioned in this thread?

For the RPMlib problem, by chance are you tapping into Rawhide? I haven't run into that problem on any FC6 + ATI fglrx installs (nor has it been reported).

[bobgun04]

I might try to reinstall and see what happens. I tried creating the link and it didn't work. I am wondering if I am having a conflict with the 32bit stuff it needs that I think I have installed plus the 64 bit stuff I have installed.

As ati mentions on thier page.

The following 32 bit packages must be installed in order for 64 bit drivers to install and work properly:
· XFree86-Mesa-libGL
· libstdc++
· libgcc
· XFree86-libs
· fontconfig
· expat
· freetype
· zlib

At this link.

https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=300

Do you know if the 8.30 drivers allow the desktop effects?

take care,
Bob

8.30 drivers do not allow desktop effects.
One of the things I did to get it to work (as I described earlier with linking some off .so files) is try to compile the control panel as stated earlier in this thread. You might notice /usr/bin/ld reporting a few missing libraries (like -lqt not found) and you might try symbolically linking the .so lib files like I described earlier.

[cardinal]

I successfully compiled and installed the 8.30.3 drivers on an AMD64 machine. the only thing I did to get rid of the control panel problems was to create the following link:

ln -s /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/ /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64

as root.

[hookooekoo]

I have followed the instructions in this post.

and made the following symlink

ln -sf /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib

I am now getting the following error

Thanks Michael and cardinal

As soon as I added the proper link is compiled perfectly with no errors. So thanks again. I was almost going to install ubuntu but I prefer Fedora.

I have tried both symlinks with no success :(, i am borderline getting ready to start from scratch, not that I think that will help.

[Michael]

Are you running into the same error or what?

[hookooekoo]

yeah the same one as posted above.

[Michael]

If you wanted, you could throw fireglcontrolpanel out of the RPM build process. If you need help with that just let me know.

[hafdolla]

usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt

I found that I had the multithreaded qt installed, and was able to work around this problem by creating yet another symbolic link:

Directory:
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib
Command:
# ln -s libqt-mt.so libqt.so

After running this, I was able to build the RPM for fireglcontrol via the extracted source. I then cleaned that up and ran the entire process again, and all rpm's were built successfully.

[fc6ont60]

Hey all, I figured out how to fix it. I extracted the package and examined the makefile for the control panel, and it seems to be assuming that the qt libraries are always in /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 (/usr/{LIB_DIR}/{MK_QTDIR}/{LIB_DIR}) when it should be /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64. I got the package to generate properly by creating a symbolic link lib64 to lib/. Everything worked fine after that.


is this for 64bit version of fc6 or also for 32bit?, I am still getting the same "Cannot stat fireglcontrolpanel error"

[hafdolla]

My system is 32bit FC6, and I hate to make the symbolic link to the lib64, as stated, but I also have to create symbolic links for the qt libraries to point to the qt-mt (multithreaded) libraries.

Have you tried to extract the files and compile the fireglcontrolpanel component? If so, what is the output from that?

[doof2006]

I have a similar problem ! I tried to install the 8.30 drivers no progress. Tried the sym links as well again no progress, then tried to make from source here is the response:

Anyone have any ideas ?

Many thanks

Do you have qt and qt-devel installed?

well I checked and only had i386 installed , so I fixed that problem now make runs but generates this message.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu

Try installing libXmu

Try installing libXmu

Ok it's compiled ! rpm's run can I use the sample xorg.conf file to run a Radeon x1650 or will it crash the xsever ? aticonfig did not run , during rpm install's


Many Thanks

[Michael]

If you're using 8.30.3, system-config-display with fglrx configured the xorg.conf (I didn't change the 8.30 packaging scripts to aticonfig but its still with system-config-display). You may be able to use the sample configuration, otherwise run aticonfig --initial as root.

Ok card is up and running with glxgears giving 350 fps. I thought it would give a higher speed ? Aslo mplayer wont run stating : Xshape not supported . Is this a driver or setup problem ?

Many Thanks

[Michael]

In mplayer select your video output to use X-Video (if you got TexturedVideo or Avivo running and you're not on 64-bit Linux) otherwise select gl or gl2.

Mplayer is not a benchmark... Use Enemy Territory or something else for comparison.

Same thing. I don't know how this qt vs. qt-mt is supposed to work, but now it doesn't work at all. Makefile seems to assume that on 32bit platforms the right library is always libqt. At least on my FC6 (with all updates to date), libqt no longer exists, only libqt-mt.

The strange part is, that a while ago (around nov-8th) I installed 8.30.3 on FC6, and it compiled ok. Since then, I have updated some packages (official FC6 updates). Now neither 3.31.5 nor 3.30.3 compiles...

Now, manually making symbolic links here and there isn't the right way to fix this. Unfortunately I haven't done any development with qt, so I don't how to properly fix this one. Ideas, anyone?

[doof2006]

Is there anyway to just build the kernel modules/drivers without building the control pannel ? as I am now getting this message after a hard disk crash/reinstall

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

and have tried the links to no effect

Many Thanks

If you are one of these users with build troubles, try building fireglcontrolpanel from source to see if it works or what errors are outputted.

To grab the source, pass the argument of --extract to the 8.29.6 driver installer. It will then make the fglrx-install folder. From there, grab fglrx-install/common/usr/src/fglrx/fglrx_panel_sources.tgz and extract the contents.

Run make in the extracted folder from fglrx_panel_sources.tgz. If the compilation errors out, post the output. Thanks.
Hello, I have Fedora Core 6 x86_64 installed and have problems with generating fglrx packages. The problem is with fireglcontrolpanel. Already create symbolic link in /usr/lib64/qt-3.3 - lib64 that point to lib, but that didn't help. Here's the result from building fireglcontrolpanel from source:

It looks like libXmu is missing. Do you have it installed?

[exobg]

Yes, I have both libXmu - 1.0.2-5.i386 and libXmu - 1.0.2-5.x86_64, but the devel packages are not installed. I've just install them. Here's what I get after instalation of devel packages when try to compile FireGL Control panel:
make

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fireglcontrol.qt3.gcc4.1.1] Error 1

It seems that something is still missing, that error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm" say that "lXxf86vm" is missing, but I don't know what this is and don't have such packages in Fedora repo's ... What's wrong ?

[Michael]

What happens when you enter: ldconfig -p | grep Xxf86vm

It should be:

# ldconfig -p | grep Xxf86vm
libXxf86vm.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1
libXxf86vm.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.so

[exobg]

Michael,
I've installed libXxf86vm-devel packages and that help me to successfully generate FC6 ati packages. But now there is new problem:
rpm -Uvh ATI-fglrx-IA32-libs-8.31.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by ATI-fglrx-IA32-libs-8.31.5-1.fc6.x86_64
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by ATI-fglrx-IA32-libs-8.31.5-1.fc6.x86_64
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by ATI-fglrx-IA32-libs-8.31.5-1.fc6.x86_64

I have both libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel packages, also 32 and 64 bit compat-libstdc++ and compat-libstdc++ - devel packages. libstdc++.so.5 is located in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5. So it seems all dependencies are there, what could be the problem ? :confused:

btw: Getting this driver to work in FC6 is real nightmare compared with other distro's ... :eek:

[Michael]

compat-libstdc++-33 is what you need. Make sure that it's 33 in the RPM and not 296 or something else. After that you should hopefully be good.

[exobg]

Yes, compat-libstdc++-33 - 3.2.3-61.x86_64 package is installed ... :eek:

[Michael]

Hmmm are you able to install the i386 version as well without conflicts? Though I hadn't run into this issue on any x86_64 systems that I can recall.

[exobg]

Yes, that solve it :D Thanks :) I've installed "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386" without problems, but now face new problems. Well I think they "belong" to this (http://phoronix.net/forums/showpost.php?p=2808&postcount=61) topic.

[Michael]

For those running into problems still, fc6_try_production is a new user that has condensed some of the information and packages needed all into one message. He also has a fix for a Livna problem. (Right now he is having problems posting)

...I thinki have found the solution for some problems:

When trying to build the ati.com ATI drivers on FC6 , one MUST have installed:
1. development libraries packages
2. development tools packages
3. GNOME development packages
4. X development packages
5. Old Software development -> compat-libdistc++-33-*
6. qt-devel
7. rpm-build

Then it compiles fine, no problems with "cannot stat . . ." etc.

Solution to persistent MESA GL renderer when installing the 8.31.5 driver from livna:
xorg-X11-drv-fglrx-8.31.5.lvn6.i386

The corresponding libGL.so.1.2 will be installed in /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/ . Of course, the existing ligGL.so.1.2 provided by MESA, which resides in /usr/lib, will be found in the path first. So rename /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/ligGL.so.1.2.MESA and copy /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/ligGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib . It did the trick. After restarting X i got the following on fglrxinfo:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON X300 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6174 (8.31.5)

So there you are ;-))

Regards,

J.

Ok, I cant get into my system anymore. I'm not happy.

I went through this whole thread before I tried anything
and read the howto that Michael wrote.

Installed the kernel-headers qt-devel etc etc all that jazz.

I even copied over config.h

Why I tried to build the rpm's it wouldnt go until I
makde the lib64 lib link, then it built the rpms for me.

Tried to install the rpm's and said they conflicted
with two other rpms, one was xorg-X11-drv-fglrx and
the other was fglrx.kmod so I removed both of them
with yum, and then installed the newly built rpms.

Now my system will boot, and even the fancy framebuffer
will start when the system is loading, however when the
login screen is supposed to appear the screen freaks out
lots of different colored lines flash on the screen, then
it just sits there at a blank screen and does nothing.

I cant log in at all. I cant even switch to another session
by using ctrl+alt+F2

Can someone please tell me how to boot the system into
a non-graphic mode so I can try to untinstall the ATI
drivers and fix the problem.

Very frustraiting.

[Michael]

combas,

When you see GRUB starting and can select your differentr installed kernels, hit "a" and then at the end of the line type 3 and that will boot you to runlevel 3. From there you can login with the console and then try reinstalling the RPMs, etc...

What graphics card are you using? Are you able to get your Xorg.0.log? What does your xorg.conf look like? Are you using the new fglrx 8.32.5?

Try:

Try:

ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib

i'm using the x86 version of fedora, not x86_64, and i cant find fglrx/libGL.so, instead, the libGL.so is located in /usr/lib/xorg
and when i link it to /usr/lib it already exist in that directory

ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libGL.so' to `/usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so': File exists

and still i cant build the package

thanks

[MengXun]

Try:

ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib

Hi, Michael:

I have exactly the same problem as ndoxx has. When I tried to
make the fglrx_panel_sources Makefile, I got:

"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL"

and I tried your suggestion:
"ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib"

It didn't work. The same problem.

Is there any possible solution for this?
Thank you.

[Michael]

Do you have all the X development libraries installed? Out of the dozens (well, at least a hundred by now) I haven't run into these issues after making the links.

[kanugantisuman]

I was reading through all these posts in the thread while I was trying to get rpms built from ati source on fc6xen. Here are the steps I did before it worked. Yeah, each step was required, I had to do dig into this thread for the solution for each of these. Thank you all. Special thanks to Micheal.

any idea why mine still fails at generating fireglcontrolpanel

[nforrester]

If you are encountering an issue when generating Fedora FC6 RPMs with the fglrx 8.29.6 drivers, read this thread.

If you are one of these users with build troubles, try building fireglcontrolpanel from source to see if it works or what errors are outputted.

To grab the source, pass the argument of --extract to the 8.29.6 driver installer. It will then make the fglrx-install folder. From there, grab fglrx-install/common/usr/src/ati/fglrx_panel_sources.tgz and extract the contents.

Run make in the extracted folder from fglrx_panel_sources.tgz. If the compilation errors out, post the output. Thanks.


I had the now common problem of "install: cannot stat `fireglcontrolpanel': No such file or directory" on a i686 (32-bit) machine. I followed the above directions for source compilation and make died at:

make: *** [fireglcontrol.qt3.gcc4.1.1] Error 1


The cause was a missing link for libGL.so in /usr/X11R6/lib fixed by:


cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so


I expect that each system with the fireglcontrolpanel problem will have a different reason for failure, but the above compilation test should reveal the cause.

Thanks to Michael!

[c0le]

After following these steps i get:

www.c0le.com/new.txt

any idea why mine still fails at generating fireglcontrolpanel



*bump*

anyone know please? i could really use to get these drivers installed

[Michael]

Did you follow all of the steps? Such as the posts above?

[c0le]

Yes, i've followed every post, tried everything people said on these forums and on linuxforums.org and I still can't get it working. I never can get the fireglcontrolpanel file or the other 2 with it. Is there anywhere do just download those specific rpm's or tar's whatever they were?


Keep getting this:

install: cannot stat `fireglcontrolpanel': No such file or directory
Package build failed!

That's in the log, just pointing it out.


Also just noticed this:

initializing...
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6/build/include/linux/version-*.h: No such file or directory

Then farther down:

error: File not found: /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1-18478-root/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1.fc6-root-root/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel

And at the end:

RPM build errors:
File not found: /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1-18478-root/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1.fc6-root-root/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel

[Michael]

See this post to remove the panel: http://phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=981&page=2 (first one)

[c0le]

Okay, deleted fireglcontrolpanel in every instance where that post said too. Now i'm a little confused as to how to install the drivers. Before i installed by doing

./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

but now i have those files extracted into a folder named fglrx-install and they have been modified so i dont know which file or what to do

my best guess was

sh ./ati-installer.sh --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

This gave me:

[root@localhost fglrx-install]# sh ./ati-installer.sh --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager

Unrecognized parameter 'Fedora/FC6' to ati-installer.sh
This script supports the following arguments:
--help : print help messages
--listpkg : print out a list of generatable packages
--buildpkg package : if generatable, the package will be created
--install : install the driver



The same thing happens if i tried --buildpkg Fedora instead of Fedora/FC6



Im a linux noob so what am i doing wrong here?

[Michael]

Try ./ati-installer.sh --buildpkg Fedora/FC6 without the sh

[c0le]

same thing


[root@localhost fglrx-install]# ./ati-installer.sh --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

i get that same thing if i try

./ati-installer.sh --help

./ati-installer.sh --listpkg

[Michael]

Doh, just overlooked something in the beginning of your message.

got farther into the install without errors than i think i ever have.

if you need to look at part i snipped out let me know

[Michael]

I think you deleted a little too much when you were deleting the fireglcontrolpanel stuff. You may want to restart over with the steps of running --extract and then deleting the changes.

[c0le]

i only deleted exactly what that post said too. I double checked as i was doing making sure every line was supposed to be gone. I guess i can try re extracting and modifying all over again but somehow i see myself ending up with the same end result.


Just a thought, that post you linked me too has to do with FC7 Test 1, does that still apply to FC6?


*edit*

Do you have one of your sripts you've made like that post talks about for FC7 Test 1 where you have already modified what needs to be modifed?

[Michael]

You can try using the F7T1 script I mention, but just modify that script from --buildpkg Fedora/F7 to Fedora/FC6

It's basically the same.

[c0le]

Okay, i ran your script using --buildpkg Fedora/FC6 and it worked with no errors. It made the 3 rpm files....but i dont know what to do now...i don't know how to go about installing it now using those rpm's

[Michael]

run as root:

rpm -ivh *.rpm

in that directory.

[c0le]

Okay ran your script...no errors...it built 3 rpm packages:

ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1..i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-devel-8.33.6-1..i386.rpm
kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6-8.33.6-1..i386.rpm

Then i did rpm -ivh *.rpm

It said kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6-8.33.6-1..i386.rpm was already installed and did nothing else after...So i put that one rpm in a new folder and did rpm -ivh *.rpm again i got:

[root@localhost new]# rpm -ivh *.rpm

Is there anything i need to change or configure? I also noticed by running gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf that there is multiple entries of each category...is this a bad thing?

I just want to make sure everything is setup and configured right before i reboot cause i'm gettin tired of rebooting and getting that black screen and having to reconfigure xorg.conf and run system-display-config to get my comp running again.


*edit*

i just rebooted....it appears nothing has changed though, i still dont have 3D acceleration...did my drivers actually install or is there something else i need to do?

[c0le]

help me Michael plz, im getting so close to having them working =P

[Michael]

Oops, hadn't seen your edit.

Can you post:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

[c0le]

[root@localhost home]# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.


[root@localhost home]# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1600 Series Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6286 (8.33.6)

figured that might help show something possibly?

[Michael]

If fglrxinfo is showing ATI Technologies, that means its working.

[c0le]

But i have no 3D acceleration, i can't open anything that uses OpenGL...any thoughts on why that would be?

[glussier]

Try this:

glxinfo | grep direct and post the result.

What 3d app can't you run and what error do you get trying to run it?

[c0le]

[root@localhost home]# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
[root@localhost home]#


I have Steam and World of Warcraft installed using Wine, both the installs ran flawlessly, i modifed World of Warcraft to run using OpenGL instead of Direct3D. Upon launching both of those games, i get a black screen then back to FC6 with an Error message saying no 3D Acceleration was found. Any ideas?

[c0le]

anyone???? ideas please?

i still have no 3D acceleration....any other input would be greatly appreciated.

Where exactly are you running into problems again, c0le? With so many people asking different questions in the same thread, etc... Everyones problems are starting to get mixed up and which ones I had commented on.

[c0le]

Okay, i can run Counter-Strike in software mode and it actually runs quite well except with bad graphics of course. When i try to change it to Direct3D or OpenGL modes, i get an error message saying
"ChoosePixelFormat failed"

When i try to run World of Warcraft, i geth an error message saying
"World of Warcraft was unable to startup 3D Acceleration."


the commands i tried in previous posts in the console showed the my drivers were installed properly, but obviously they are not. Any ideas?

Also, i noticed there is newer Linux ATI drivers out since we were last discussing this issue, have you tried them yet?

[Michael]

The Fedora scripts in 8.35 have removed the fireglcontrolpanel. This thread is now closed.

If you run into other issues please open a new thread.
