Default ATI Driver problems
Just installed the 9-4 driver
Installed ATI drivers before but not had it working properly since switching to opensuse 11.1

Now since the latest install Direct Rendering isn't working and the biggest problem which I can't find any help for online is this:

Code:
gegenki@linux-sllc:~> fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Error: couldn't get fbconfig
All the relavant info is below

Code:
gegenki@linux-sllc:~> uname -a
Linux linux-sllc 2.6.27.21-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-03-31 14:50:44 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Code:

Code:

OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1.8591)

This is the xorg log. It looks fine up to this point which is the last few lines. Couldnt find much info about any of this either

I added in the composite and AIGLX lines this morning, made no difference.

Default Re: ATI Driver problems
I found that the best way of installing the driver from ati's website is to run the install as root in runlevel 3 and not using the xwindows ati install gui. Accept the default install and when it finishes, run sax2. Once configured, you can then startx and it should work.

Default Re: ATI Driver problems
I'm certainly no expert at this, but as I recall ATI specifically recommends not using sax2 following installation, and insteads says to use "aticonfig --initial" or some such proprietary configuration tool.

Default Re: ATI Driver problems
when I use aticonfig --initial, it only screws up.
I always recommend sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
