I tried this driver with a custom 2.6.0-test6 kernel. The XF86config-4
file is that generated by fglrxconfig. I selected single framebuffer mode
to enable a dual headed single screen, 1600x1200x24. The card is a
Radeon 8500. I'm running unstable, x-window-system 4.2.1-12.1
X appears to try to start a few times, and I'm dropped back to a text
console. There are no errors in XFree86.0.log. However, kdm.log
contains:
[fglrx] API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SecondaryColor3bEXT
[fglrx] API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SecondaryColor3bvEXT
[fglrx] API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SecondaryColor3dEXT

[fglrx] API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SecondaryColor3usvEXT
[fglrx] API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SecondaryColorPointerEXT
As a further check, I tried running xdm (normal for me is kdm), and it
starts X and runs. I can't get past xdm, guessing that the KDE start has
the same problems as KDM.
A Google search on SecondaryColor3bEXT yielded four non-useful hits.
These "API ERROR" strings appear in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5908219 Sep 21 20:44 fglrx_dri.so
KDE works when I use the "radeon" driver, but I get no DRI.
Where do I go from here? I didn't find a user forum for the ATI drivers,
just a no-response bug reporting link.
