Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
For a while I was trying to get dri enabled on my machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux jjod600n 2.6.15-25-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:34:19 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci | grep ATI
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf
[FireGL 9000] (rev 02)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -id
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Nothing worked, even though I attempted to follow an ubuntuforums howto,
which many people confirmed being successful. One day I stumbled into
this tool, that revealed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.25.18 atiogl_a (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//atiogl_a_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//atiogl_a_dri.so failed
(/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//atiogl_a_dri.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory)
libGL error: unable to find driver: atiogl_a_dri.so
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.25.18 atiogl_a (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//atiogl_a_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//atiogl_a_dri.so failed
(/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//atiogl_a_dri.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory)
libGL error: unable to find driver: atiogl_a_dri.so
So, I do this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ find /usr -name ati*.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/atimisc_drv.so
/usr/lib/dri/atiogl_a_dri.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so
and notice that indeed, the atiogl_a_dri.so driver isn't where Xorg is
looking for it. So simply:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri$ sudo cp
/usr/lib/dri/atiogl_a_dri.so ./
was all it took to get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY/RADEON 9000 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.1072 (X4.3.0-8.25.18)
Is this really a bug?
