ATI Radeon 9700
Hi,
I've a Toshiba M30X-131 laptop with Debian Sid
and XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 running.
The video card is an ATI Radeon 9700. I installed
the recent ATI driver and the module is going to
be loaded.
chris@notebook:~$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
fglrx 240284 0
But glxgears just calculates small values like
466 frames in 5.0 seconds = 93.200 FPS
and glxinfo indicates that the 3D acceleration is
not running.

I also used to follow the introduction
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html
got the save problem as above.
My XF86Config-4 reads:
[snip]
Section "Module"
...
Load "GLcore"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
...
# Load "extmod" but omit DGA extension
SubSection "extmod"

# uncomment this; see "Bugs and Workarounds" for details.
#Option "NoDDC"

Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
# === Use internal AGP GART support? ===
# If OpenGL acceleration doesn't work, try using "yes" here
# and disable the kernel agpgart driver.
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "your screen"
Device "ATI"
Monitor "your monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x960" # this is only an example,
# use your preferred resolution here
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
[snip]
The kernel is running without framebuffer and DRM.
grep FB .config
# CONFIG_FB is not set
grep DRM .config
# CONFIG_DRM is not set
I also played with agpgart, tried to load it as a module
or leave it out and setting the appropriate values
for Option "UseInternalAGPGART.
But all these steps didn't enable the 3D support.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thanks
Chris
