thy fglrx woes have been fix-ed! |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
for the curious reading now or later, I had to do quite a strange |
| 6 |
process. Due I think to upgrading kernels, ati-drivers, and all-sorts |
| 7 |
of things I had to delete some stuff manually: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1. uninstall ati-drivers |
| 10 |
2. troll around the filesystem and delete anything with fglrx in |
| 11 |
the name! There was lots of stuff |
| 12 |
in /usr/lib, /usr/share, /etc, etc! Also |
| 13 |
deleted /lib/modules/.../fglrx.ko |
| 14 |
3. delete some broken lib links (that were pointing |
| 15 |
to /someting/ati/something which no longer existed). These |
| 16 |
included: |
| 17 |
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so |
| 18 |
/usr/lib/libGL.so |
| 19 |
4. ran `sudo eselect opengl set xorg-x11` which now worked |
| 20 |
(wouldn't before) |
| 21 |
5. reconfigure X for the kernel's radeon driver. restart X. DRI |
| 22 |
wasn't working with the kernel radeon driver, so I had to |
| 23 |
recompile the kernel, add drm, radeon, install, reboot a couple |
| 24 |
of times |
| 25 |
6. once glxinfo reported direct rendering, I then re-installed |
| 26 |
ati-drivers |
| 27 |
7. reconfigure X with fglrx module instead of radeon |
| 28 |
8. run `sudo eselect opengl set ati`, restart X and voila! |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Who would have thought it was so simple! |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
at last, I get some decent frame rates with the new driver. All my |
| 33 |
screensavers work (no SHM issues as I was having before) no segfaults. |
| 34 |
Aaaahhh, sweet. Let's hope it doesn't all change too soon! |
| 35 |

| 36 |
thanks everyone for the tips, |
