AIGLX probs

[hookooekoo]

I used the tutorial on the redblog.
if all went well, on an i386 target there should be ATI-fglrx-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm, ATI-fglrx-control-panel-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm, ATI-fglrx-devel-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm, and kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-KERNEL-VERSION.fc6-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386.rpm in the working directory. These RPMs can then be installed. During the RPM install process it will run aticonfig --initial, but if this is a fresh FC6 install one more step is needed. Ensure that the below segment is found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, otherwise Mesa will be used when restarting X. If this portion is not found in your X configuration, add it:

The .rpm's did no download into the working directory. Is there a way to wget these? or other methods?

[Michael]

What happens when you run the script? The RPMs should be in the working directory unless you get an error output.

Livna should have RPMs if you're interested in those.

[hookooekoo]

The script runs fine, it just doesn't add the rpm's.

How do I get the livna?

I saw it mentioned elsewhere. And do I need to do anything else with them to compile it with ATI?

Thanks

[Michael]

Are you using --buildpkg Fedora/FC6 ? The RPMs should be there unless there is an error or something else in the output.

Thanks for your help michael, it has been a long time since I have used Fedora. I didn't realize the --buildpkg was part of the command. I ran it and got the following error.

[Michael]

You need to install qt-devel (v3.3 not Qt 4).

Also, grab the 8.30.3 driver otherwise the 8.29.6 virgin driver won't work on FC6 final. See: http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/?p=blog&i=NTU1MA If you use the 8.29.6 driver you will need to use that install script at Redblog but with 8.30.3 it should work fine with the original driver using --buildpkg Fedora/FC6.

[hookooekoo]

Thanks again. I would know how to do this in gentoo, but not red hat.

Do i need to remove QT 4 first too? and what is the easiest way to do that.

Thx.

[Michael]

Qt4 can remain installed, but Qt 3.3 and qt-devel are requirements.

Can be handled via yum or graphically from Applications > Add / Remove

[hookooekoo]

Yah I ran the Yum command and that installed it. Now I am getting another error.

install: cannot stat `fireglcontrolpanel': No such file or directory
Package build failed!
Package build utility output:
./packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh: line 306: rpmbuild: command not found

Ok so I am installing rpm-build now, gg error message reading comprehension.

Hey, you will also need to install the gcc-c++ libs as well.
yum install gcc-c++
should do it.
oh yeah,
yum install rpm-build

[hookooekoo]

I got tired of missing packages, so I installed all dev-tools.

I also have linva installed, if this is the correct method.

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

If you go to thread http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=318 That should get you somewhere. I had to link up a few libraries to the plain ol .so instead of the .so.1 crap, and show which ones I had to do in that thread. But, end result is that the drivers work, and I get full resolution (1920x1200) but no DRI.

[Michael]

Also, if you are using the ATI installer you DO NOT need Livna packages... It defeats the entire purpose.

They didn't work worth crap for me anyways.

[hookooekoo]

I installed the Livna packages with the the command

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm as posted above. Now I can't figure out how to remove it.

the rpm -Uvh command is not working cause it can't find the package.

[root@dh7c8rb1 ~]# whereis livna
livna:
[root@dh7c8rb1 ~]# whereis livna*

[root@dh7c8rb1 ~]# whereis *livna*

You can just set enabled=0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo to disable.

rpm -e livna-release-6-1
or yum erase livna-release*
or if the rpm-e didn't work
rpm -qa | grep livna
and then rpm -e the line that shows up.

FYI

rpm -i is for install
rpm -U is: Install if not already there or Update if a previous version exists.
rpm -e/--erase will remove a package

Lol, thx, been a long time since i used rpm commands :D
