I have fglrx working with xorg and the stock Debian 686 kernel in an up-to-date sid installation....The first thing you should do is ignore xorg and check whether the fglrx kernel module can be loaded. What does 'modprobe fglrx' tell you?I removed drm from kernel and now the module is loaded: jojda:/home/erik# lsmod | grep fglrx fglrx 462048 - and even xorg log indicates that everything works, at least I think that's what this message means: (II) fglrx(0): DRI initialization successfull! but it's still not working, fglrxinfo says: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1) any ideas? erikDo you load the GLcore module explicitly in the "Module" section of xorg.conf? If so then remove that line.
no I don't, here's the module section of my xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
# erik: does not exist: Load "GLcore"
Load "bitmap"
Load "dbe"
Load "ddc"
# erik: nvidia doesn't use it: Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
# Load "glx"
Load "int10"
# erik: does not exist: Load "pex5"
Load "record"
# erik: no symbols found: Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
# erik: does not exist: Load "xie"
# erik: for ati radeon 9800
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx" # libglx.a
Load "dri" # libdri.a
EndSection
see anything suspicious?
