OpenGL not working with ATI, FC6?

[trp12000]

Hello:

I haven't been able to get the OpenGL drivers to work for my Radeon x1400 notebook chipset. I have tried installing both the livna 8.29.6 drivers as well as the new 8.30.3 drivers. I've also used the reference xorg.conf file from the forums, but nothing seems to work!

I keep getting the following on running fglrxinfo:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)

What am I doing wrong?! Am I missing something?!

Please help!

And thanks in advance!

Can you please post your X log? More information is needed to figure out where your problem is occuring.

hi:

Thanks for the reply... I'm kinda new to linux, could you tell me where to find the X log? I'll paste it here...

Thanks.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Paste the bottom half or where you see errors (EE).

[trp12000]

hmm... from the second part, it seems like the DRI could not be initialized! Could someone tell me why this could be and what I should do to overcome this?!

Thanks!

[Michael]

Did you disable Composite?

[trp12000]

also... when I'm installing the 8.30.3 drivers, the ati installer cannot recognize the version of X.Org. It says, "unknown version" or something along those lines...

[trp12000]

I am using the reference Xorg.conf file that was posted in the forums... so that should be right, I think...
