Hi guys,
ive already lookd lots of foruns, including this one but didnt find any solution. (including this:Problems with ATI Radeon 9850 and fglrx drivers - openSUSE Forums)

ive intalled the ati drivers from de terminal (ATI - openSUSE) and also from the installer downloaded from their site (the .run extension one). ive made sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx, everything looks like ok.
but the 3d acceleration does`nt work, althought 3d acceleration is checked and is greyed out.

i`ll show everything the other guy shown at that post, if anyone can help me… thanks a lot…

#2

one more information, here i had a problem?

marcus@linux-aude:~> 3Ddiag
3Ddiag version 0.742
Verifying 3D configuration:
Using 3dinfo

Verifying 3D configuration for 3D board “ATI Technologies Inc RADEON X550 (1002@5b63)”:

Tests for X.Org configuration:
Config File /etc/X11/xorg.conf … done.
Driver … failed!

3D Hardware acceleration is not used. To use 3D
Hardware acceleration please specify the entry

Driver “radeon”

in the Section “Device” of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Extensions … done.
Options … done.

Checking GL/GLU/glut runtime configuration:
GL/GLU … done (package Mesa)
glut … done (package freeglut)

anyone can help me pls?

#3

i forget to mention that when i changed my xorg.conf to put “radeon” instead of fglrx as 3Ddiag said, when i prompt init 5 i only got a blank screen

#4

A few thoughts:

  1. Your xorg.conf file has a lot of extra stuff in it. In my system, I removed most of the font paths; also the modules and mode entries–no need with EDID these days. Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for errors and warnings.

  2. Recently, ATI has been putting things in a configuration database, as opposed to an init file like xorg.conf. You may have a lot of historical stuff in your /etc/ati/amdpcsdb file. You can delete this with no ill effect.

  3. ATI advises against running sax2. aticonfig and amdcccle are preferred.

  4. The compiz user forum has a longrunning thread regarding setting up ATI cards. Worth a look; google user djdoo.

  5. See your /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log file for install info.
