Re: [solved]ati/fglrx:DRI initialization failed [disable compos]

As Cerebral said, the "composite" thing must be responsible.

_will : It seems we have the same configuration and everything works fine for me.

But as soon as I try to enable the composite, I get all errors you have!

thanks for all the replies
removing composite got rid of some of the errors however

Re: [solved]ati/fglrx:DRI initialization failed [disable compos]

with my driver as "vesa"

glxgears wrote:

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
2158 frames in 5.3 seconds = 404.987 FPS

...better fps without fglrx?


also i can't go back to open source "ati" driver which IIRC reported fps in the 1000s with glxgears (?)

i think there was another error about the monitor too, i was stuck in low bit low resolution

i also get this "(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable" with vesa drivers

is everyone having problems with this?

glxgears is not a benchmark.  If you're having issues in actually graphically-intensive applications, like games, then say so, but otherwise this output means very little, even though you get higher scores with vesa.

Those are fine, harmless messages.

'radeon' DRI needs the 'libgl-dri' package, which conflicts with ati-fglrx-utils.  You can't have both installed at the same time - if you didn't remove ati-fglrx-utils and reinstall libgl-dri before trying this, that's likely your problem.
