Hi!
A big thanks to everybody who spare some time helping me. I now have
the 3D acceleration working! My error was very stupid... As suggested
by Wim, when removing my previous installation, the "dpkg --purge
fglrx" command left some files that I did not erased, so I had a mix
within new and old files. Deleting the directory and compiling again
the kernel module was just fine.
Also, I tried with two options: DRM compiled in th kernel and without
DRM. The results are the same.
However, I have some problem with OpenGL. Celestia is crashing with
the error: "Unable to resolve GL/GLX symbols - please check your GL
library installation." and the tuxracer is not well running. When
racing I can see a lot of "flashing triangles".
Is there some files I can check to see if OpenGL is well installed?
Anyway, I will try now this method
(http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html)
to see if it resolves my OpenGL problem.
Thanks again for the help, it's really nice to know that in this
community, when you have a problem you can surely resolve it with the
help of the list!

Hi list,
I have an Ati 9600XT graphical card and I want to get 3D acceleration
with the propriatary drivers (fglrx). I am using debian Sid with the
last xserver version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-7).
Following the "ATI Radeon Linux How-To", I managed to get the 3D
acceleration with the previous xserver version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-6) but
overwriting the MESA libGL library with the ATI one, through a "dpkg
--force-overwrite -i fglrx.deb". Everything worked well but I had a
lot of troubles upgrading the xserver due to the libGL library. So I
decided to make use of "dpkg-divert" as suggested on this web page
(http://g-tec.co.at/ati_alt.html):
dpkg-divert --package fglrx --add /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
dpkg -i fglrx_4.3.0-4.12_i386.deb
Everything went well (no complain about the libGL library) but when
running "fglrxinfo", I obtain the following output showing that I am
not using the ATI libGL library:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4
So my question is (sorry for the long introduction): is there a way,
using dpkg-divert, to specify which libGL library should be used (the
ATI one) in order to have the 3D acceleration working?
Thank in advance,
Nico
