Fglrx and 3d

After the recent naming sceme switch i have been having trouble getting direct rendering to work.

I found this little section in Xorg.0.log interesting

(II) fglrx(0)(II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information:
(II) fglrx(0):     Name: fglrx
(II) fglrx(0):     Version: 8.22.5
(II) fglrx(0):     Date: Feb  7 2006
(II) fglrx(0):     Desc: ATI FireGL DRM kernel module
(WW) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version does *not* match driver.
(EE) fglrx(0): incompatible kernel module detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf9b9c000 at 0xb7635000
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************

Re: Fglrx and 3d

Re: Fglrx and 3d

well, ati-fglrx-utils should be 8.23.7, but that bit of logfile says 8.22.5 - so somewhere you've still got an 8.22.5 ATI driver hanging around on your system.
