Ok I tried that as the first time I followed your instructions all the way though but I will give it another go!

Thanks for all you time I am just dying to get this direct rendering working because I have Wolfenstein to play!

If you installed DRI but still no acceleration, make sure that libGL* symbolic links lead to libGL.so.1.2 <- this is 3.2.8 driver. Here is my listing, so I hope it helps you to rebuild symbolic links. That also happened to me, since symlink libGL.so.1 pointed to mesa and not to libGL.so.1.2. Without this, 3d accelleration will not work.

I hope that this is what you need:

sh-2.05b$ ls -la /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 603342 Sep 17 00:15 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 16 13:38 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 16 13:38 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 696940 Feb 16 13:38 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2

All the best,

Hi Guys.

Have anybody tried to do the same on debian and aspacialy on laptop

thanks in advance
mishkolz

Hey Erol I check out those symbolic links for libGL but they seem to be fine the only difference I can see is that you have lrwxrwxrwx where as I have lrwxr-xr-x but that shouldn´t make a difference as I have been trying it all as root??

My Symbolic links
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 603342 Sep 17 00:15 libGL.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27 Feb 22 14:51 libGL.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27 Feb 22 14:51 libGL.so.1 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2*

jimdaworm please post your XF86Config-4 here. I think that will be the last stop...

Hey Erol

I noticed one other thing. When I install DRI it says:

Updating Configuration.
Running ldconfig... Removing old Kernal module "Radeon" ... ERROR
Inserting new kenral module "Radeon" ... ERROR

Here is my XF86Config-4 hope it helps!

Thanks for all your time!

Adam

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"

This has to be "no"

That's the problem.

As for the DRI instalation, I get the same two errors, but so far that didn't bothered my 3d to work.

I expect your next post to be "YEAH it works!"

Thanks alot for all you time Erol.
Damb this work thing!!

I am at work again but I am just itching to try it out!! Who ever decided that we should work all the time was a very bad person!

Adam

First off by letting me say that this is a great webpage for someone like me. Im VERY new to linux (as in i got it installed last night) and ive been searching board after board to find a solution to my problem.

Alright. For some reason this just wont work for me.

Ive tried all the fixes in this thread and nothing is working.

Im running:
3200+ Athlon XP
A7N8X Deluxe Mobo (think thats the numbers)
ATI Raedon 9800 PRO
SB Audigy 2
Red Hat 9

No matter what I do, my video card wont be recognized as ANYTHING but the Mesa crap.

After trying this fix I thought i had it licked but i just ended up having to install Linux over agin.

This is the closest ive come to fixing the problem. I can get all the way too " patch -p1 < fglrx-3.2.8-fix-amd-adv-spec.patch" and it gives me this error:

"missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- firegl_public.c.orig 2003-09-22 04:43:30.000000000 +0200
|+++ firegl_public.c 2003-10-09 00:14:41.337778176 +0200
--------------------------
File to patch:
"

And if i try to skip the patch and run ./make.sh it says it cant find version.h and when i try to search for that on my computer it says I need to make the database.

Now since im so completely new to this, can anyone pssobly explain this in a way that a 2 year old could understand? Thanks in advance.

Ooops

Two things firstly I think you will find this is the "Slackware" distrubution forum.

I don´t know if it might help more generally if you ask your questions in the Red Hat forum (Generally anway) I don´t know much about Red Hat.

Secondly as stated at the begining of this thread this is for:
fglrx 3d & kernel 2.6.2 & nforce2 solution:

I don´t know what version of RedHat your running or which kernal (like motor of linux) it has but I don´t think it will be the 2.6.x kernal.

Assuming you do have a 2.6.x kernal you need to type firegl_public.c and push enter.

Hope this helps.
Adam

It worked!! Thanks alot for all the help Erol! Now once I get my win-modem working again I will be on the next paying Wolfenstein.

Adam

I'm realy glad to hear that you finally did ti.

Enjoy.

All the best,

Erol

This sounds great and all, but I've run into a wall. I'm using a PowerColor 9600 Pro, and I run into errors trying to modprobe fglrx. I've followed your instructions almost exactly (I can't find the 3.2.8 driver, only 3.7.0). I recompiled and took dri out, enabled nvidia agp and made agpgart a module. When I try to make the fglrx module I get this:

root@darkstar:/lib/modules/fglrx# ./make_install.sh

If I try to modprobe the fglrx module I get the last lines of the above output starting with the tainting of kernel message down to the insmod failing.

dmesg reveals this:

So, basically my 3D acceleration obviously doesn't work.
zander@darkstar:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0

Can you help me? I'm so lost. If you need more info, I'll give it. Sorry about the long post.

I've nicely stated in the topic title that this was

fglrx 3d & kernel 2.6.2 & nforce2 solution

And as far I can see you are using 2.4.24 kernel...

But here's the link for 3.2.8 driver download, since you said you can't find it:

fglrx 3.2.8 download link

Best of luck in making it works.

PS: When I was using 2.4.24, it was a lot easier to install than 2.6.2 and it worked without problems. Just don't forget to apply athlon patch for 3.2.8.
