Been working on getting OpenGL to work with this iMac, which |
2 |
has a ATI Rage 128 (Pro?), I have two ways to set it up |
3 |
while both ways display the standard screen fine, they are |
4 |
alittle different. |
5 |
|
6 |
Have installed xfree-drm, and compiled all the necessary |
7 |
stuff in a ben2 (2.4.22) kernel, enabled DRI. (did not |
8 |
enable the 'old' drm drivers... ??) |
9 |
|
10 |
Here's one the ways I run the XF86Config, and each has |
11 |
different side effects: |
12 |
|
13 |
1> Use the "fbdev" driver |
14 |
|
15 |
Driver "fbdev" |
16 |
Option "UseFBDev" |
17 |
Option "dpms" |
18 |
Option "AGPMode" "2" |
19 |
|
20 |
Running it this way, screen is fine, but mplayer always |
21 |
plays the smaller size of the screen, (ie, not in full |
22 |
screen, it won't), if I run an OpenGL app, like tuxracer, or |
23 |
an OpenGL xscreensaver, it just goes back to 'software' |
24 |
mode, (atleast tux racer does, xscreensavers that are OpenGL |
25 |
just don't run at all), but it *doesn't* freeze. |
26 |
|
27 |
2> Use the 'ati' driver |
28 |
|
29 |
Driver "ati" |
30 |
Option "UseFBDev" |
31 |
Option "ForcePCIMode" <---- see below |
32 |
#Option "AGPMode" <---- off |
33 |
|
34 |
This way, regular screen is fine, I have to use the Option |
35 |
ForcePCIMode tho, because if I don't the screen is just |
36 |
plain messed up, you can't see anything. But mplayer WILL |
37 |
play a movie using the entire full screen. And as far |
38 |
OpenGL, it will TRY to go into OpenGL mode (tuxracer and |
39 |
xscreensaver) but then freezes the screen, I can not do |
40 |
anything I can not move the mouse, but the computer is still |
41 |
working because in tuxracer, the sound is still playing. |
42 |
|
43 |
So, the question is, Anyone have gotten any OpenGL working |
44 |
with an ATI Rage128? Also, I guess one of the questions is |
45 |
how can I get the "ati" driver to work in "AGPMode"? |
46 |
|
47 |
"AGPMode" "1" ? |
48 |
|
49 |
Any help is apprecated... |
50 |
TIA.. |
