Solution: 8.42.3 openSUSE 10.3 fgl_glxgears

[Spooky]

Sorry for my bad English...

Since I have installed ATI driver 8.42.3 I couldn't start fgl_glxgears.
"X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest".

Today I found the following bug report:
link

With these infos I could create a solution for me.


Solution 1:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

or

Solution 2:

Open /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 with a hex editor and change the string "libGL.so.1.2" to "libGL.so.1". Restart X if necessary. fgl_glxgears should work now.

Hi, thanks for sharing your solution.

You have a typo in Solution 1.

export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

should be

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

without the leading $

@scotsmist

Yes, you are right.
It's fixed now.

Doesn't seem to be working for me.

So, it's using mesa. I tried the second solution using KHexEdit, but that resulted in a corrupted SO.

or me but thanks for sharing it anyway.

Open /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 with a hex editor and change the string "libGL.so.1.2" to "libGL.so.1". Restart X if necessary. fgl_glxgears should work now.

this seems the soname error bug. try to see if you have the /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 file. if not symlink this to the /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1.2.
this should fix it without the hex editing or the ldpath.

for what i know fgl_fglxgears is a little bugged. so try using the normal glxgears which is the one included in xorg.
in my case i go from 180fps with fgl to 800 fps with glxgears with ultrastable settings and to 1900fps with ultrabreaking settings.
i preffer the ultra stable since with beryl i get the same 700-800 fps when using them and get only 450-500 fps when using the ultrabreaking ones.

Hi, in my case the files are already linked. I am using the 64 bit version of the OS (openSUSE) so in my case I am talking about /usr/X11R6/lib64

/usr/lib links to lib64. if you do a ls -l /usr | grep lib you'll see this.

anyway, i should have expected that since that's the only ati supported distro.
anyway i've never experienced problems of that kind with it. i'll have to retry that and see if i get the same error on my opensuse box.

It seems that the 32bit and 64bit version of openSUSE 10.3 are different. I doesn't have the directory /usr/lib/opengl.

At the original file you can look with:

objdump -p /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 | grep SONAME

if the SONAME is wrong or right. In my case was "libGL.so.1.2" before. Therefore the library in /usr/lib was prefered, because fgl_glxgears search for "libGL.so.1". You can compare this with:

ldd /usr/bin/fgl_glxgears

ldd /usr/bin/fgl_glxgears 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7e74000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7d59000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7d4a000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7d25000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7bf2000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7bdb000)

        libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb7bbe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7bba000)
        libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7bb6000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f1a000)

Don't remove some bytes. For correct hex edit (I use GHex) you should change:

"libGL.so.1.2"

6C 69 62 47 4C 2E 73 6F 2E 31 2E 32

to

"libGL.so.1 "

6C 69 62 47 4C 2E 73 6F 2E 31 00 00

I don't know in which case it's necessary to patch "libfglrx_dm.so.1.0" and "libfglrx_pp.so.1.0" also.
