No rendering in ATI radeon

vael · 2006-11-19 02:42:08

I am trying to install and run beryl on a laptop with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M.
Following the instructions here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beryl

I have uninstalled ati-fglrx and ati-fglrx-utils and installed libgl-dri but after several hours on this forums and google i cant find how to solve this. ( I have no 3d rendering, so I cant run beryl)
What al I doing wrong?

THIS IS MY xorg.conf.

THIS ARE MY MODULES IN rc.conf:

MODULES=(8139too bcm43xx sis_agp !agpart radeon drm ati-agp !fglrx
radeon)

Help!

A couple of comments.
1) Are you sure the OSS drivers support 3D accel on your mobile card? I haven't ever looked into it myself, so I don't know.
2) You have radeon listed twice in your MODULES - take out the first one, since I believe ati-agp needs to be loaded before radeon.

I am not sure about 3D redering works with OSS but I found this in this place:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beryl

*****************
ATI

You should read this if you have prolems with ATI.
[edit]
Uninstalling fglrx

Don't forget that:

* xf86-video-ati are the ATI open source drivers
* ati-fglrx(-beyond, ...) are the proprietary ones wich won't work with Beryl
* You have to replace "fglrx" by "radeon" in BOTH the xorg.conf and rc.conf files
* You have to uninstall ati-fglrx(-beyond, ...), ati-fglrx-utils and then install libgl-dri to get everything to work properly. As Veek said on this post :

Attention, anyone who was previously using the fglrx drivers:
Both the ati-fglrx-utils package and the libgl-dri package provide a version of the openGL
shared library /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (your version may be different).
However the one supplied by the Mesa package implements things not implemented by the one in ATI's package.
That's why it can be exceedingly confusing trying to figure out why things aren't working
even though you apparently have the necessary libraries.
The solution is to install libgl-dri and everything shoud work as outlined in spack's guide.

This is my understanding of the issue, just wanted to clarify for anyone else that was confused.

* Uninstalling commands:

pacman -Rd ati-fglrx(-beyond,...) ati-fglrx-utils
pacman -S libgl-dri

[edit]
*********************

So, i suppose it works.

In the other hand I have cleaned the modules loading to leave "radeon" only once.
What else can I do?

Thanx

Well, that wiki page is true - fglrx does not support the extension needed by Beryl to work. However, that doesn't mean the OSS drivers support 3d-accel on every radeon chipset. Yours just may not be supported, I don't know for sure.

In any case, there's a great (and a little lengthy) thread on getting OSS drivers to work with direct rendering for ati - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 86videoati - Maybe that'll help you out?

I have readed and doing this too, but is not enough

Is anybody here running beryl with an ATI card?

Thanks a lot cerebral
