according to your kernel version (from your Xorg.0.log file), it should be in

/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/kernel/drivers/video/fglrx.ko

the "2.6.10-5-386" part is something you should check: it should be the output of 'uname -r'

anything?

did you follow the procedure, and... nothing?

please tell me what happened following the 13-steps procedure, step by step if possible

you stopped posting and I thought you had already solved...

oh sorry, didn't realize it had gone to the second page. Trying it now.

I do everything on the list, but still nothing changes...

really?

no errors compiling the kernel module?
everything from step 1 to 13 worked?

did you finally find the /lib/modules/(...)/fglrx.ko and moved it to $HOME?

please, I would appreciate if you were more verbose (posting your command outputs would help a lot)

thanks

Hey, could someone give me a hand with this?
(I couldn't find it elsewhere, apologies if it has been addressed previously)

From Xorg.0.log
(WW) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version does *not* match driver.
(EE) fglrx(0): incompatible kernel module detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work

I've tried the latest drivers from ATI, and the ones mentioned in that tutorial thread, I *think* they both give this error message. Certainly neither of them work. I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 (HH) and I have a Radeon 9800 Pro.
I have a feeling this is a complete n00b problem... Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong here?

Oh, I just noticed that my fglrxinfo is showing up Mesa3D as well...

I appreciate any contributions

(Sorry to barge in on this thread btw, but it seemed relevant. feel free to redirect me elsewhere for help with this)

Correct, there were no errors using the steps listed above. I was able to find the fglrx.ko and I moved it to the home dir. The fglrxinfo is still

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 6.2.1)

and as a result, no 3d acceleration

another possible workaround, from ATI's website:


PCI GART Support

Users experiencing problems with the AGP GART Module can use the PCI GART module and enable the feature in the driver by making the "BusType" option "PCI" in the Video Card Device section. To do this follow these steps:

1. Edit the X Server configuration file (/etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. Navigate to the fglrx device section
3. Add the following line: Option "BusType" "PCI"

You have successfully enabled the PCI GART for the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver.


maybe it works...?

the problem is that both driver and kernel module have different versions, and the system cannot load both because of this conflict

please check the steps shown here in this very thread, where module is rebuild to match the system (step 8)

hope it helps

Added it to my xorg.conf :/ still nothing.
I'm beggining to think this is a lost cause.

yes, it is weird...

maybe having a look at the driver Release Notes at ATI's website could help you identify your problem (there are some problems listed)

I am less and less sure about a solution though... sorry

please keep me informed of your findings

Okay, okay cool (my bad).
Firstly, where do I get the .rpm from?
Sorry if this is another stupid question, but the only file I got from ATI was a .run, where do I get the .rpm exactly?

Okay I found them, sorry.

I wasn't sure which rpm to download, so I downloaded check.sh, went to the console (Ctrl+alt+F1?), logged in as my user, then used su to go root, and ran it. It said I either wasn't running it from the console. ot I simply didn't have console ownership, and then exited. Not sure what to make of that.

the rpm for X.org is located in the same page where the .run is provided:

https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27

here you have a direct link to the rpm:
