fglrx 8.42.3 - compiz fusion doesn't work :( !

**Scias** · 10-23-2007, 05:39 PM

Hi everybody !

I'm french and new here, please be indulgent because i dont speak english very well :S !

I've a RADEON XPRESS 200G (PCIE integrated) and before this release of fglrx 8.42 i used XGL with Compiz Fusion under linux Fedora 7.
XGL is very very slow and i waited this new release for erase compeletely XGL from my drive and play with compiz fusion or games (ut2004) !
When i saw fglrx 8.42, i immediatly downloaded it and installing it with --buildpkg command.
When restarting, i checked if fglrx has started and it has :

[root@localhost Scias]# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

[root@localhost Scias]# glxinfo

server glx extensions:
....
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release
OpenGL extensions:
.....

I tried a "glxgears" and it is very smoothly than the fglrx 8.40 :

[root@localhost Scias]# glxgears
3885 frames in 5.0 seconds = 976.899 FPS

with fglrx 8.40, i was around 600 FPS.

Then, i tried to launch "fusion-icon" but it's not working !!

I'm on Fedora 7 on kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7
ATI XPRESS 200G
Compiz Fusion 0.5.2
OpenGL games like UT2004 work very smoothly !

Can somebody help me please ?

I have the same problem.

I wondering if it's a missing dependency in fedora 7. I am toying with the idea of installing f8 on a diff. partition and seeing if I have any luck.

it isn't an fedora specific problem because I've got the same problems on openSUSE 10.3

Have you already whitelisted fglrx? (It solved one problem for me)

I get this output while starting compiz:

compiz: Trying '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1'
compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No maBernahrdnageable screens found on display :0.0

the output of fgl_glxgears is the same for me (like yours)

and amdccle doesn't work cause of a bug in java (as I have heard)

I hope somebody is able to solve this problem

Friendly greetings

Bernhard

what do you mean by "whitelisting fglrx"?

**LordBernhard** · 10-24-2007, 07:00 AM

if you start compiz-manager (it's named like this on opensuse 10.3) I've got an error message saying that the device isn't on the whitelist.

Therefore I had to edit the /usr/bin/compiz-manager entry (and add the fglrx to the whitelist)

# Driver whitelist
WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx"

I don't have this message of whitelist, and when i can't edit /usr/bin/compiz or /usr/bin/fusion-icon because they're binaries (there's not a linea comprehensible :S)....
And there's not /usr/bin/compiz-manager.

...Maybe a broken dependencies ?

Maybe, we (Fedora Users) should wait the fglrx 8.42 in livna repository ?....

I don't know...

I've reinstalled XGL for waiting. He's a very little faster with fglrx 8.42.

I will try in Ubuntu.

**gwfrancke** · 10-24-2007, 04:20 PM

you should make sure that the old fglrx module is not loaded...

**gwfrancke** · 10-24-2007, 04:22 PM

in Ubuntu this is done by adding fglrx to your
DISABLED_MODULES=""
in
/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

**celtic34** · 10-27-2007, 09:20 AM

Hello,

i install the last ATI driver with livna packages (8.42.3) on my HP DV5142 EU, video card : XPress 200M.
=> Fedora 7 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7, fglrx 8.42.3 (by livna), compiz 0.3.6-8.fc7

First, glxgears give FPS near 1600.
Second, when i try to activate compiz, installed by default, i have the same error message :

compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No maBernahrdnageable screens found on display :0.0
