ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
I am trying to get 3d working with the ATI drivers. I have installed the kernel and have installed the drivers, ran
fglrxconfig . I have also added the fglrx module to rc.conf and then when i boot i get the following error message:
(ww) Fglrx: no matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:5:0) found
(EE) No devices detectedHere is my xorg.conf:
# File: xorg.conf

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
The error message says the device was found on bus PCI 1:5:0, but your xorg.conf file has BusID PCI 1:0:0, so there is something amiss.
If you do an lspci command from the console, where does the ATI device show up? Here's mine:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary)
Which shows that mine is on PCI 1:0:0 (the first one)
Try changing your xorg.conf file to reflect what lspci shows you.
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
You're saying you changed your BusID to:
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"and it's still not working?

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
Did you set BusID "PCI:1:5:0" in your xorg.conf file?

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
I changed the xorg.conf to show the output of lscpi.... I changed my xorg.conf to look like this at the end of the ATI section:
# === Misc Options ===
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"
Option "ForceGenericCPU" "no"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0" # vendor=1002, device=5653
Screen 0
EndSectionAfter changing my busID to "PCI:1:5:0" I was unable to even get to the login prompt (I disabled kdm for the moment) It would just quickly flash fast the login and then sit at a black screen.

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
You know, I've never had any luck getting fglrx to run with the internal AGP - I've always had to use the external one, so try this in your xorg.conf:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Of course, you need to have the agpgart and <vendor>_agp modules loaded for the external to work.
Try the external with both of the BusIDs and see what happens.

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
OK i have it working, but i have noticed a considerable slowdown in my computer..Apparently the reason for DRI not being enabled was a simplle BIOS setting. However i get very low framerates and have trouble with a lot of KDE apps....... Should i try using the external agpgart or would it produce the same result? If i wanted to try the external agpgart i would have to add agpgart to the modules list in rc.conf and thats all?

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
What sort of BIOS setting - AGP enabled?
Problems in 2D and 3D might be entirely different things. If you run the command glxinfo from the console, does it say in the output that direct rendering is enabled? It sounds like MESA (sofware 3D) is doing the DRI instead of your hardware if your 3D is so slow. Also, do an lsmod command from the console - you should see the module fglrx loaded in the listing.
To use the external agp modules, you should see two modules (agpgart and <vendor>_agp (vendor being amd or nvidia, etc) in the list of loaded modules that you get from the lsmod command. If you're using the Arch default kernel, they are probably loaded already by default.

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
no, my graphics card has Hypermemory (where it has dedicated memory, but allows you to add system memory for use as well). So i was on a forum ( www.notebookanalysis.com ) that deals only with my model of notebook, and saw someone with the same blank screen as mine, so they go it to work by using only shared video memory. So i changed that and it worked.
When i type glxinfo i get this:

I am using the archck kernel because i thought that was the only way i could use the ati-drivers package from community.....
I have also tried re-running the fglrxconfig, but it hasnt solved anything.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
Hi,
Yes, you've got direct rendering switched on, and the agpgart and amd64_agp modules are loaded so you should be able to run with the external agp if you're not already. I'm not sure what kind of performance difference you'll experience between internal and external agp.
The freezing in the console application and also on shutting down the system is a little bug in the latest ATI drivers. Someone has just created a fix for this , so should be able to get the patched version soon.
What kind of framerates are you getting with glxgears? I get about 2000 with my Radeon 9600 Pro. You should be able to play something like UT2004 at 800x600 with no slowdown at all.

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
It's in the arch community package repository (AUR) by the looks of it: ati-drivers 8.21.7
Your glxgears look ok. What games are you trying to play? With that chipset, you're not going to get great framerates for Quake 4 or Doom3.

Re: ATI DRI & Xorg.conf
Hi,
I'm not sure what's up with the whole avahi thing. It seems to be a problem as they are always putting out a new version every couple of days!
