[gentoo-user] troubles with ati-drivers-8.25.18

[gentoo-user] troubles with ati-drivers-8.25.18

[Mauro Arnoldi]

Hello!

I installed a new Gentoo system, but I find big problems with ati drivers and 
3D acceleration. I have followed the wiki howto but now I receive this error 
message

#fglrxinfo
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
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 6.5)

I saw the Troubleshooting:
If fglrxinfo says "mesa3d.org" instead of "ATI" after A SUCCESSFUL modprobe of 
fglrx, but nothing changes.
I include my configuration, hoping that someone can help me out of this 
mess...

kernel version: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9
in "Character Devices":
	/dev/agpgart (AGP Support) 	M
	ATI chipset support			M

Also another thing that I can't understand:

--------------------------------
#emerge -pv ati-drivers

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B     ] >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 (is blocking 
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18)
[ebuild   R   ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18  USE="opengl" 0 kB
--------------------------------

If I want to install ati-drivers I have to unmerge xorg-server, then emerge 
the ati-drivers (that doesn't emerge the xorg-server) and then the 
xorg-server, but not the 1.0.99: the 1.1.0

Hi,

I think  you have to disable ATI chipset support in Character Devices
(/dev/agpgart must be enabled as module).
I Hope it will help.

After you have changed your kernel configuration, I suppose you
recompiled your kernel ?
Did you enable via chipset support in Character Devices ( then modprobe
via-agp) ?
After compiling ati-drivers, did you run
eselect opengl set ati ?

eselect is ok:

#eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   ati *
  [2]   xorg-x11

Why do I have to compile via chipset support? I have and Ati Radeon X300 in my 
laptop..

because of my VIA KT133A chipset motherboard.
Without loading via-agp module, I don't have any 3D acceleration.
What gives lspci  | grep AGP ?

If you want to use the ati drivers, this should be "fglrx".

I find nothing!! :-O
But maybe the correct line is 

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM Express PCI Express Root 
Port (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])

because a radeon X300 it's not an AGP card but a PCI Express...
I enabled in my kernel the "Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset 
support", but still nothing at all... I always receive the error above...
I'm getting crazy..

The chipset support you need is nothing to do with your video card - 
it's the driver for the AGP chipset on your motherboard.  If you have a 
Via motherboard, you want via-agp, if you have an Intel you want 
intel-agp, and so on.

If I set like you say I get:
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available
I also have read that kernel 2.6.16 has problems with ati drivers, but I can't

This usually means you need to re-merge ati-drivers.  You have to do
this every time you upgrade to a new kernel.

As far as the 2.6.16 support, I find this in
/usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ChangeLog:

*ati-drivers-8.24.8 (17 Apr 2006)
<snip>
  21 Mar 2006; Jory A. Pratt <anarchy@gentoo.org>
  +files/ati-drivers-8.23.7-noiommu.patch, ati-drivers-8.23.7.ebuild:
  2.6.16 support wrt bug#122335

So it looks like whatever patches are needed are already applied by
Gentoo.  Try it and report back if it fails.

A little OT:
What if I do not have any agp, but pci-express graphics?
(nForce4 based mobo for workstation and intel 915gm based notebook)
Do I still have to include agp-support in kernel? Which?

My ati drivers doesn't want to compile:

#emerge -pv ati-drivers

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B     ] >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 (is blocking 
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18)
[ebuild   R   ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18  USE="opengl" 0 kB

I try with: emerge -O ati-drivers and I set the driver "fglrx". The result:

(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1)
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available

Yes, it seems that there is a problem between xorg-server-1.0.99 and
ati-drivers; :-(

But for me doesn't work both the closed and the open source drivers! Well, I 
suppose I have to wait the next release...

Then you may need to use a different xorg-server version.  If that 
doesn't pose a major problem, then

# emerge -C xorg-server
# emerge -D ati-drivers

Simply installing the ati-drivers should automatically pull in the 
newest xorg-server that they will work with.  There's a thread somewhere 
on forums.gentoo.org, and another one a while back on gentoo-dev, 
explaining the reason for the block.

When I first started with the ati-drivers, Xorg 6.8 was the latest 
available, but they would only work with 6.7 - so we had to wait until 
ATI released a new version before we could use 6.8.

Waiting a few weeks for the very latest xorg-server build won't kill you. ;)

set kernel .config these lines

CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y  (this in question)
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y 
# CONFIG_DRM is not set (this is must have)

set in xorg.conf
    Driver      "fglrx"

dont use x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1


good luck
