with x.org i cant get my radeon 9800pro to work properly in slackware linux 10.. i followed all the directions to get it to work properly but for soem reason it isnt working like it should. in glxgears i only get 350fps when it should be up over 2000. this is my fglxinfo

Quote:
bash-2.05b# ./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 (1.4 Mesa 5.0.2)


i attached my xorg.conf file as a text document cuz its pretty big and will make the page look wierd...
another thing that was weird that happened when i installed the package was none of the commands that were supposed to be installed weren't and i had to navigate to the files that were extracted when the package was installed (ie: /usr/X11R6/bin/) to execute glxgears or fglrxinfo etc.

also when i modprobe agp-gart it says the module doesnt exist


while i'm at it, i cant remember how to get modules to auto-load on boot, could someone refreash my memory? i installed the drives for my onboard sound but i always have to load the module after i boot... and i also cant remember how to get x to load after boot... its been about a year since i decided to switch back to slackware

Hate to say this, but there are many reports of ATI's fglrx binary drivers not cooperating with Xorg. Try downgrading to XFree86, in which case http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html?type=linux&prodType=graphic&prod=productsLINUXdriver&submit.x=1&submit.y=4&submit=GO%21 is your answer. Else.... just wait, I suppose Sad You can try the Xfree86 driver with Xorg too, but no guarantees.

Hey, I think I found just what you're looking for. It's for another distribution, but you're both using ATI cards trying to enable 3d acceleration on X.org. Hopefully it's of some use to you Smile

Good luck =D
