Re: Ati fglrx direct rendering:no

Ensure, in your /etc/rc.conf, that agpgart and via_agp are being loaded before fglrx.  If you don't have them specified, add them to the MODULES array in this order:

agpgart via_agp fglrx

Re: Ati fglrx direct rendering:no

I did some searching, and found a thread about ATI and mtrr problems:

http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1333981360

Although the method for creating the statup script won't work on Arch, it might be worth a read-through to see if you can apply some of the fixes mentioned.

Re: Ati fglrx direct rendering:no

i have tried this

echo "disable=0" >| /proc/mtrr
echo "base=0x0 size=0x10000000 type=write-back" >| /proc/mtrr

but  gives me  this error

echo "base=0x0 size=0x10000000 type=write-back" >| /proc/mtrr
error:invalid argument

my /proc/mtrr is correct without changes :-

reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xc0000000 (3072MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1
reg06: base=0xe8000000 (3712MB), size= 256MB: write-combining, count=1
