open source ati driver -- garbled graphics

I'm trying to run an openGL game (Uplink-demo) with the open source ati driver, but I just get strange garbled graphics. It's not the card or the game either -- I installed opensuse 10.2 on this same box the other day and had no problems running the game. Even XGL worked surprisingly. But opensuse is a pig next to Arch though so I'm hoping for a fix wink Here is the result:

Help! :S

BTW, I can't run the closed source fglrx driver because my card is no longer supported (Radeon 9000, rv250 chipset). The legacy drivers ATI provides don't seem to install with Xorg 7.2.

Here's a copy of my xorg.conf

Re: open source ati driver -- garbled graphics

If you tried the fglrx package first did you reinstall libgl or is it libdri? The exact one is in the wiki something having to do with them being the same name but different internally so one is downloaded based on which driver you have...or something like that.

Also do you have the right mesa? This is am totally guessing you do have. But I received weird issues once very similar to yours when I tried to do things with out mesa...

Nope, no dice. By any chance, does this game load ok for you?

Well, I've never installed fglrx on this box since I already knew about the incompatibility regarding ati cars older than r300. So that's taken out of the equation. Is there a different mesa? I only see one in the packages.

On a whim, I decided to try a fresh install of Arch. I installed xorg, xf86-video-ati, and  gnome + extras -- I basically got the same result. So it's either something missing in my xorg config or I'm missing some gl lib. I hope. Dunno sad

Thanks for the replies guys!

Re: open source ati driver -- garbled graphics

That program totally destroys my X session.
Other gl programs work fine.
