Help with ATi Radeon X1600 PRO and OpenGL

[DoodoM] · 2008-04-25 11:42:47

Hi, I've got an X1600 PRO graphic card and I want graphic acceleration with the catalyst drivers, but when I install the catalyst and catalyst-utils packets trough pacman and run aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf generates an xorg.conf file that doesn't support my monitor and I can't see anything when gdm starts.

By the way, I've also tried to simply change vesa for fglrx in my usual xorg.conf file and this way supports my monitor, but when I try for example to view a video with VLC on OpenGL mode I get the following error:

** (.:7320): CRITICAL **: Error al abrir el archivo: No existe el fichero o el directorio
[00000329] main private error: option glx-shm does not exist
libGL error: drmGetMagic failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  144 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  58
  Current serial number in output stream:  58

And yes, I have direct rendering according to what glxinfo says.

What can I do?

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Such a reaction wont get people to help you. No one here is supposed to help you so you can't blame us for not knowing how to solve your problem or not having time at the moment.

I have a X1600 myself and I would have posted my xorg.conf here. But if you were so pissed after one day of waiting, I don't even want to find out how furious you are now, one week later.
