3d Problem With Ati Driver And Opensuse 10.3

Hi,

I use openSuse 10.3 64Bit.
Ati fglrx graphic driver 8.45.5 is installed.

> glxgears -info

GL_RENDERER = ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
GL_VERSION = 2.1.7281 Release
GL_VENDOR = ATI Technologies Inc.

glxgears works fine - I can see the gears running

> fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
4636 frames in 5.0 seconds = 927.200 FPS
...
Does not work, screen is damaged.
The same is with openGL screensavers of KDE. They damage the screen with pixels outside the application window.

> fgl_glxgears -fbo
Using GL_EXT_framebuffer_object
5643 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1128.600 FPS

Works, i can see the moving qube.

Seems like the hardware 3D graphic acceleration is not working, but I don't know why ?

Thanks
Ernesto

Hi Ernesto,

Don't know if this helps but there is a known issue with 3D support for the HD2600 driver.

See this link https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206..._82_linux.html

regards

Welcome to the forum, Ernesto and noyb!

You guys might want to check out http://en.opensuse.org/ATI for some more info, as well. Good luck, and please post back with what you come up with.

Hi,

thanks for Your fast answers.

I've checked the link from noyb.
There is an open issue with my screen resolution 1680x1050 and the Catalyst 8.2 driver.
ATI suggests to rise the screen resolution to 1728x1050 as workaround (link:http://support.ati.com/ics/support/d...estionID=31720 )

Unfortunately the workaround dosn't work for me.

fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer corrupts the screen

> fgl_glxgears -fbo
Using GL_EXT_framebuffer_object works fine.

All troubleshooting advices inhttp://en.opensuse.org/ATI I've checked, but with no success.

Can it be a library or linking library problem ?

Thanks
Ernesto

Hi,

I've solved the missing 3D acceleration by loading the newest Catalyst 8.3 driver.

Thanks
Ernesto

Ernesto;

Just would like to ask how you got your qube and desktop effects working?
at present I have a big problem with my system, At present I'm also using 10.3 and an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X200

HI HELP........
At Present after getting my system running and connecting with my wifi, got my ATI Driver Installed and running and Installing Compuz-Fusion files. While I was experimenting with my system on how to run the cube and other desktop effects, I got to press CTRL+ALT+Backspace for whatever reason after booting back I loss all my icons located near the clock, KWALLET,KNETWORK MANAGER,KMIX,OPENSUSE UPDATE,KBATTERY, AND OTHER PROGRAMS RUNNED DURING BOOTUP. After this I can no longer connect to my wifi, when loading Knetwork it will no longer run. Would it be possible to recover my previous setup even thou I never did a restore backup or would it be easier to reformat and do a clean install. PLEASE HELP ME.....Has anybody got the cube and other desktop effects to work with an ATI Card, I'm using a Dell 1501 Laptop.

Please PM me or reply for any help you can extend...Thanks
