Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
Hi, No matter what I do, the fglrx module doesn't enable DRI and 3d acceleration, or a broken one at least, without rebuilding a kernel and disabling the module ATI Radeon. I did that for Dapper and it worked. I found this fix on google from a gentoo user : http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:c80xQyXXpXUJ:www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Making_ATI_drivers_work_with_nforce2_and_kernel_2_6_in_Gentoo+gentoo+nforce+2+9600+pro&hl=fr&ct=clnk&cd=3&client=firefox ********************************************************* ********************************************************* Making your Radeon 9600 PRO work with Nforce2 and kernel 2.6(Gentoo) I realize there are many guides out there, however none really worked for me. I figured I'd write this so that others may benefit from my long tired hours in front of the screen, leering back at me. Lets begin: The first thing you need to do is make sure your kernel is configured correctly. If not, you'll have to recompile over again, however using gentoo this should not be much of a challenge :) #cd /usr/src/linux #make menuconfig Now make sure the following are enabled: Device drivers>Character devices: (M)AGP support(agpgart) (M)nforce2 chipset support (*)direct rendering manager (drm) - (*) ATI radeon but NOT support for ATI radeon!(Strange as it may sound) If they are continue, if not, recompile your kernel.(If you can't remember how it is done, refer to the excellent installation handbook at gentoo.org) Now you need to enable the new modules so you'll need to edit your modules autoload: #nano /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 then write in: (from the top) agpgart nvidia-agp radeon ********************************************************* ********************************************************* Using Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" should in theory resolve most problems, but for radeon 9600 pro the problem seems somewhere else. I am not sure this problem only happen when you use nforce2 + radeon 9600 pro, but I found on google a lot of person who had this problem with 9600 pro. So I am wondering how this bug could be fixed without users having to rebuild a kernel+fglrx modules. I believe asking to have a special kernel in main is a bit to much :p ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- radeon 9600 pro broken dri acceleration with fglrx (asking how to integrate the fix to main) https://launchpad.net/bugs/69876 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
