OpenGL not working with ATI, FC6?

**trp12000** · 11-02-2006, 06:38 PM

yeah I just checked, Composite is Disabled in the Extensions section...

**Michael** · 11-02-2006, 06:39 PM

Don't use the graphical installer... that's your problem right there. From the terminal run sh ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

ok... I'll do that and I'll let you know!

Thanks.

hmm... it says that it can't find the kernel-devel package... but it is installed... is there anything else that needs to be installed?

Also, I don't have anything in the /usr/src/linux directory... do I need to create a link from it to somewhere?!

Install kernel-headers

I have a problem similar to this. Here is my Xorg.0.log towards the end (last 300 lines) where I start to get statements about a process, drmopendevice, getting errors.

To help summarize, I have the disable composite statement in my xorg.conf file. DRI attempts to log, and as you can see, the log stops abruptly right there. The comp hard crashes right there, and I have to comment out the disable composite statements in order to get X to start. Does anyone know what may be causing this and how to fix it?

I notice I get a warning in there, "(WW) fglrx(0): Option "UseFBDev" is not used". Is this a problem?

**Michael** · 11-30-2006, 02:08 PM

blario,

Composite needs to be disabled in order for fglrx to function. What graphics card are you using? if AGP based try adding Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "on" to your xorg.conf, or adjusting other options in there.

It's PCIE. Like I said, everytime I uncomment the disable composite lines, and try to start X, the comp hard crashes. I will try the AGP line right now for the hell of it. This is really driving me up a wall cause it seems like no one else has this problem. Here's the important parts of my xorg.conf for the hell of it as well. Thanks very much for the help!

Had you tried removing (or commenting out) some of the options in the xorg.conf so you have a very basic config, and then see if it works? Though the Xpress 200 is very notorious with the ATI drivers, so you may want to check on the BugZilla.

Thank you for any and all replies!
