Thanks for the info. I still can't get it to work though. I followed
your instructions and when I rebooted
Restarting X should normally suffice.
I got a smaller screen with lower
refresh rate, so something obviously happened (if not the right thing).
Moreover `fglrxinfo' shows:
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project:
www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)
According to the installation instructions from ATI, `OpenGL vendor
string' should not be Mesa if the driver is correctly installed.
Yes, this would be normal:
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4769 (X4.3.0-8.8.25)
The
game Tux Racer is as slow as before and the mouse pointer is gone (in
the game). I then ran fglrxconfig, saved the XF86Config-4 file (should
really be named something like XorgConfig-4, right?) in /etc/X11 and
rebooted but it didn't solve the problem.
I would suggest you first remove the newly created X-Conf and get out
the old -- the one created by the fglrxconfig program sometimes makes
trouble. In case of need just move all current configs aside and
recreate with system-config-display
Try if it works. Then enable the driver using
/usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable
Restart X. Look if it works now. If not send me the output of :
/sbin/lsmod | grep fglrx
grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears
The last command should list (besides others)
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/libGL.so.1 (0x05880000)
If not send me privately /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ati-fglrx
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
