Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver) and Compiz-fusion

[sankaman2k]

I have the Radeon 1950 Pro (AGP) and I'm running FC7 x86_64. Unfortunately I've already done the same with the freshrpms driver with the exact same results. :(

I've found some information that may appear to be what is happening to me.
See the following excerpt from: Unofficial ATI Linux Driver Wiki (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Computer_Freezes_while_using_fglrx _.28UMA_and_SIDEPORT.29)


Computer Freezes while using fglrx (UMA and SIDEPORT)

If after choosing fglrx as your driver in either xorg.conf or xfree86.conf files, the computer freezes and becomes unresponsive while trying to start X this may be the solution.

Some ATI cards have the ability to run in three modes: UMA, SIDEPORT, or a combination of both. UMA mode is that one in which the video card does not use its dedicated memory, but rather uses and shares the system memory. On the other hand, SIDEPORT mode is the one in which the card uses its own dedicated memory. And finally, the third mode is a combination of the previous modes in which the card uses both the system memory and its dedicated memory.

If your computer hangs, this settings may be where the solution lies. If your computer hangs, try using either UMA by itself or a combination of both. However, if you choose the combination, make sure that the UMA one is at least 128MB. In my case, I have SIDEPORT 128MB and 128MB UMA. If I choose any less for UMA, it does not work. This is definetly not an attractive solution since it compromises your systems performance. Hopefully, this will be solved very soon.

On some systems, the BIOS screen may not offer a choice of UMA or SIDEPORT. In this case, you can try turning the amount of RAM dedicated to the video card down, from 128Mb to 64Mb for example.


I will make the changes in my BIOS and report if it fixes the issue for me....Keeping my fingers crossed.

***** Update: Doesn't work for me. :mad: ***********

When I try to do the local install I get a warning but the driver isn't installed

you need to make sure that you include --nogpgcheck and you will not get that error.

[cpri]

Ok thanks I'm now able to install the ati-x11-drv.
But still no luck running it

this is my output of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log there were only warnings

(WW) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout.
(WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
(WW) fglrx(0): Only one display is connnected,so single mode is enabled
(WW) LoadModule: given non-canonical module name "glesx.so"


what can I do

[sankaman2k]

crpi,

Welcome to my ongoing and unresolved problem....

[Cryp]

Been confused over this driver etc several days now... Couldn't get my Laptop (HP Compaq 6715s) to start X at all. (ATI x1250 card). Read this post and did as you said and now it works!

I just wanted to thank you for making this post :)

[swa_1101]

You may need to alter some settings to get everything working ( check out all of nicofo's post's from this thread )


a quick fix temporary fix for window borders is


emerald --replace


emerald --replace (not work)

It's still no window borders and I have finished step by step at nicofo's post

[nicofo]

emerald --replace (not work)

It's still no window borders and I have finished step by step at nicofo's post
What's the error ? (terminal output)

Have compiz-fusion installed (or hah had it installed ?) : what is the version of emerald ? (rpm -q emerald)

Alternatively, try with another border decoration (aquamarine/kwin/...) from the beryl-icon.

I follow your setup directions to a tee and after the reboot i get this error

There is no ATI driver for a xen kernel so you have to use a normal kernel to get the driver working.

Try selecting another video driver ( there are separate video drivers for video ) in vlc or mplayer

Hi Leigh,
I was very happy to stumble upon your excellent post, as I was having trouble getting my VisionTek X1550 to work on FC6, x86-64 with the latest ATI drivers. Going through the install worked fine and I made all the config tweaks you suggest (thank you!). GLXinfo looks good and I get 900FPS on glxgears:

But I seem to be experiencing the same issue as johnnylinux, where xine/mplayer/ffplay seem to be misbehaving (dropping frames (mplayer/ffplay) or crashing gnome (xine)). As you suggested to him, I have tried other video output options with mplayer with the same result. I am using this box as a video editing workstation, so I use these programs to test my edits. I have a dual, quad core xeon (dell sc1430). Previous to using the VisionTek card and the fglrx drivers, I was able to play these videos without problem on the mobo video (16MB ATI ES1000). Cinelerra, however, seems to be working well, as it takes advantage of my CPUs.

I use the ATI Catalyst Control Center to change my display settings. I've tried the three different display modes with the same poor performance/crashing behavior each time. I've attached a snap of the Control Center info. card info from ATI control center (http://www.stormpigs.com/images/ati.png)

Might you have seen this behavior before? Could it be degradation between 32-bit versus 64-bit modes? thanks for your time.
'sodo

[cacasodo]

I went ahead and tested removing the 32bit libraries from the install:
yum remove xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit

X still loads with my dual monitor setup; however, I still have my choppy video/hang/crash problem. I am running kernel-2.6.22-7 on fc6 x86_64:

[sodo@ogre ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep kernel|sort
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.22.7-57.fc6.x86_64

[sankaman2k]

crpi,

Welcome to my ongoing and unresolved problem....


I was so frustrated I decided to try out the new SuSe 10.3 and see if they offered another option.
I had the exact same problem but luckily was able to resolve it (somewhat). Although the experience I document is with SuSe, there is enough information there that you can apply it to Fedora to address some issues you come across here if you get stuck.

Ati 8.41 linux drivers (http://kengarland.blogspot.com/2007/10/suse-103-ati-841-drivers.html)

[cacasodo]

I've rolled back to driver version 8.35.5 and the choppy behavior is gone, but now I no longer have direct rendering enabled.
- more to come

[cacasodo]

I'm getting good at installing these ATI driver installs. >:[

8.35.5:
-mplayer works well in XV, but I have no OpenGL
8.36.5
-mplayer doesn't work well in XV, and the kernel module won't build, so I can't get OpenGL to work
8.40.4
-mplayer doesn't work well in XV, but works OK in OpenGL. Obviously, I got the kernel module to build for 8.40.4 by installing that driver and building and installing the kernel module using:
./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
rpm -ivh kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.22.7-57.fc6-8.40.4-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm

I imagine this will suffice for now.

ATI needs to get their act together.

Thanks for the info, Leigh! It helped get me started..

Could someone please give me a rundown on what is needed to get Compiz up and running on F8 (x86_64 7.92) under KDE? I can only find instructions for earlier versions, and it looks like the devel repo might be missing some packages to get things running in K.

1) Well, that version of emerald is actually the one from compiz-fusion !! Probably you have the repository of compiz-fusion installed ! Remove it (that's the file /etc/yum.repos.d/kagesenshi.repo - [if you don't find it, what gives "yum repolist" ?) and reinstall emerald (yum remove emerald then yum install emerald) ]

2) You have errors while launching beryl: that's normal if you launch it manually with XGL: please use "chooseCompositeWM" (also found in System>Prefenreces>XGL Window Manager) and then beryl to launch it

Just run fusion-icon from the menu or type it in a terminal

fusion-icon &
Not really: within XGL, you cannot launch directly from terminal compiz/beryl/fusion/... : you need to add a special option (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ compiz for instance).
The best way is to use chooseCompositeWM (in System>Preferences>XGL Window Manager) and then choose beryl / compiz or fusion


EDIT: oops, good news, that option is no longer needed it seems !

I never bothered with the F8 version of compiz as it sucks so I built my own version compiz-fusion-0.6.0 with all the goodies ( I build the 64 bit packages for the kagesenshi repo )

Compiz-fusion 0.6.0 srpm's for F8

link to srpm's

http://www.4shared.com/file/25930783/75d74c80/compiz-fusion-060-f8srpmstar.html

# run these as root
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install rpmdevtools

# run these as normal user
rpmdev-setuptree


## for each packages, do
rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm

You may have to install some build deps ( compiz requires libxcb-devel to build )

## recommended sequence to build -
## compiz -> compiz-bcop -> compiz-fusion-plugins-main -> compiz-fusion-plugins-extras
## compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported -> libcompizconfig -> compizconfig-python ->
## ccsm -> compizconfig-backend-gconf -> compizconfig-backend-kconfig
## fusion-icon -> emerald -> emerald-themes

You will need to install the packages as you compile them to fulfill the build deps for the next package. ( use rpm with --nodeps to install )

[swa_1101]

1) Well, that version of emerald is actually the one from compiz-fusion !! Probably you have the repository of compiz-fusion installed !

I have been removed emerald and kagesenshi.repo, now version of emerald is emerald-0.2.1-1.fc7.
And I have selected CompositeWM as you have. But not anythings change.

Howto for FC6 x86 (i386) & FC6 x86_64 Only ( For F7 see post #2 )



Click this link to make sure your card is supported by this driver ( All cards below 9250 are unsupported ) (http://ati.de/support/driver.html)



1. Check to see if you have a i686 kernel, to check type this command in a terminal.




If it shows a i586 kernel follow the link below to swap kernel ( It will not work without a i686 kernel )

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=139751

2. Install fglrx driver.

Type these commands in a terminal.



If you install a new kernel you will have to reboot for fglrx to work

3. Edit xorg.conf



Then add these sections.



Don't forget to save the changes

Finally, the following options are useful in the section "Device" :



After editing don't forget to restart X ( Ctrl + Alt + Backspace )




4. Check for direct rendering.


Type these commands in a terminal



The output should look something like this.



And this command.



The output should look something like this



If you can't get direct rendering try adding this line to the "Device" section of xorg.conf



5. Install XGL beryl / compiz ( install script by nicofo (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/member.php?find=lastposter&t=123593) )

Type these commands in a terminal.


su -
wget http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/scripts/xgl/installXGL_EN
sh installXGL_EN
yum -y install beryl



If you need to remove xgl (rpm+config files installed by script): run installXGL_EN -r

6. Now, you have just to open a new session (no need to reboot Fedora). At the login screen (GDM or KDM), click on the "Session" menu and choose your preferred session:

You don't as your card is unsupported by fglrx in fedora 7 due to kernel and xorg changes.
You have to use the open source radeon driver that is included with fedora

just edit xorg.conf by changing the driver to radeon

to edit

su
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"

You don't require XGL for the radeon driver ( none of this howto applies to your hardware so do not use it ;) )

Hi,

Thank you for the tutorial - I have gone through the forum posts and see a few people have had the same issue I seem to be having but the solutions don't see to work for me.

I was wondering if I could get some assistance?

I have been removed emerald and kagesenshi.repo, now version of emerald is emerald-0.2.1-1.fc7.
And I have selected CompositeWM as you have. But not anythings change.

Can you launch emerald --replace &and eventually startCompositeWM --restartin a terminal to see the errors.

If there are problem, can you try with compiz ? (not fusion) => install it with installXGL -cbfor example then launch chooseCompositeWM(in a terminal again to see the eventual errors) and choose "Compiz" (the first check)

Give the errors if any.

[Quamzin]

leigh, your guide worked as advertised, so thank you very much. I got Compiz Fusion going on a Dell e1505 Core Duo with a x1400 Radeon, on Fedora Core 7.

However, despite most everything working, I am having a somewhat annoying problem... besides the problem of being new to these forums.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504830

My Compiz/ATI issue is pretty much the same as the one at that link, although I have a different notebook and FC7. When I'm running Compiz Fusion in a GNOME+XGL session, display sleep (shutting off the LCD, not just blanking it) fails to activate when set up under the "Gnome Power Preferences" GUI. But when I'm in plain vanilla Gnome with Metacity, display sleep through gnome-power-manager works fine.

And then, same as the Ubuntu guy, if I set "StandbyTime" to some integer in xorg.conf, the LCD WILL shut off on that timer in a Gnome+XGL session. "OffTime" doesn't work, though.

I tried using xset "dpms force" commands to kill the backlight, but they fail with errors that seem to point to my LCD losing DPMS support whenever Compiz-Fusion is running under XGL. Some other stuff around the net says it's a side effect of GDM not running a true XGL session, calling "StartXgl" instead. But I'm not sure I believe that...

Tried radeontool too, on a whim. It can't shut off the backlight under XGL either, but it doesn't give any visible errors.

If it helps, the display dimming slider doesn't work in in the power management GUI either. Of course, the hardware buttons work (bios-based), and the ATI script to dim the display when removing AC power also works fine, surprisingly.

I'm still a neophyte when it comes to Linux, X windows and such... so any help I can get from anyone would be appreciated. All I really want to do is be able to shut off my screen's backlight when I close the lid, like I can under Metacity. I can live without a timed shutoff... there's just heat issues when I close the lid, and the LCD is still cranking full blast.

Thanks for reading-

Change driver to fglrx then reboot ( also if your are using the freshrpm driver check that you have the kernel-devel installed )

This resolved the problem I reported. Thank you very much for the amazingly quick response!

I have run into another issue(s) however:

1. I ran the sh installXGL_EN -cb script and got the following output:


# sh installXGL_EN -cb

[1/2] Compiz - Compiz-fusion (Fedora 7 only)
Remark: Beryl is already installed. If you decide to install Compiz-fusion, it
will remain possible to use Beryl provided that you use another window decorator
than emerald.
Do you want to replace Compiz with Compiz-fusion [Y/n] ?

compiz ? [y/N]



This allows me to access Beryl via the gnome System | Prefs | XGL Windows Manager menu. But none of the Beryl functionality works.

Thanks again - great support thread!

[nicofo]

You have to answer "Yes" when yum asks you to remove compiz !
Compiz-fusion will be installed in replacement of the present version compiz installed on your system.

If you encounter problem running beryl or compiz, give the results in a terminal of the commands startCompositeWM --restart (or "chooseCompositeWM" if you want to switch between compiz / beryl)

[jkstraw]

I fixed the above issue by downloading and installing in accordance to the post here: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/printthread.php?t=159056&page=4&pp=80

Now I can launch the compiz-fusion (with fusion-icon). I can even launch the manager. But things are acting very strange. The header on all my windows have disappeared and to type this update it has taken my about 5 mins (massive delay between hitting a key and having the character show up on screen) to confirm the features of compiz-fusion are not working.

Thanks,

[xusamuel]

I've got compiz-fussion working on my desktop computer. But somethings are very strange. All panel objects, such as notification area, clock, and window list, are invisible, except the menu bar. But they are not disappeared, for the separator of the window list and the notification area still can be found on the panels. But when switch to gnome, all things are right. I am too curious to learn what is causing this trouble. Thanks.

Now I solved this problem, Now I can poll it.

[nicofo]

Now I solved this problem
How did you solve the problem ? I'm interesting since the same occurs some times (though rarely) to me.


The header on all my windows have disappeared
try in a terminal "emerald --replace" (report the errors here if any)
to confirm the features of compiz-fusion are not working.
How do you start compiz-fusion ? Try with "chooseComposositeWM" or "startCompositeWM --restart" in a terminal (again, report the errors here if any)

Also, to be sure, can you post the results of (as your user (not root) in the XGL session): fglrxinfo
noXgl glxinfo |grep direct
uname -a #to see your architecture

[swa_1101]

You have to answer "Yes" when yum asks you to remove compiz !

If you encounter problem running beryl or compiz, give the results in a terminal of the commands startCompositeWM --restart (or "chooseCompositeWM" if you want to switch between compiz / beryl)
I have done with the first and the second way of yours, no error output, and nothing changed T_T

Try logging into a non XGL session and see if you get direct rendering ( you loose it in XGL anyway )

[mverbele]

Ah that is what you meen with XGL session,
All my posting is from the non-XGL session (just gnome)
Because I cant login to the XGL session it come's back to the login screen for some reason

So "NO" is the answer (no direct rendering)

mverbele: that's strange...
I've compared our xorg.conf:
*I have REMOVED the Section "Module" (not needed anymore!!)
*I have other options in the section device (but a different card as well): eventually you can try with them: Section "Device"

Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "UseFastTLS" "0"
Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on"

Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"
EndSection


Also: you serch your errors in xorg.93.log ?? Mine are in grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log

PS: don't use XGL till the driver is not working ! XGL needs the fglrx driver to work !
(How have you installed XGL ?)

[nicofo]

I have done with the first and the second way of yours, no error output, and nothing changed T_T
What was the problem ? No window decorations ?
Is compiz or beryl working ?
Give fglrxinfo
noXgl glxinfo |grep direct

[mverbele]

My postings go's back in page 70,

I have no render and no beryl/compiz

I tried your settings and now I see a logo right at tha bottem??
even when I remove this stuff from the config (lol)

AMD "testing use only Unsupported hardware"
( a green logo on all my screens)

[mverbele]

I have reinstalled the drivers but still nog rendering,

the nice logo is gone (of amd) after reinstalling drivers
I will try next week again when I have more time

I dit uninstall everything and installed the ATI fglrx driver from amd

Have you installed XGL and is XGL running ("ps -e|grep Xgl") ?
If so, try the command "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ beryl" (don't use beryl-xgl !)

[mverbele]

If I login to the gnome+Xgl
the beryl dus not start automaticly
and if I run it manualy its geving me this

(where can I change the gnome+Xgl profile?)

I now run the compiz fusion icon and everything works fine

Thx to you all,
If you want me to test anything else let me now

Last night I installed the new v8.42.3 ATI driver and uninstalled all the XGL apps. I now have Beryl running great with AIGLX, and as an added bonus all the weird side-effects of XGL are resolved. I have heard some complaints about 2D speeds, but the only issue I have seen is scrolling down a web page in Firefox.

[leigh123linux]

The new ATI driver 8.42 is available from freshrpms testing now

ftp://ftp.de2.freshrpms.net/pub/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/testing/7/ati-x11-drv-8.42.3-1.fc7

This new driver provides AIGLX so you will need to remove XGL and change your xorg.conf

Hi ppl! I'm running Fedora 7 on AMD 64 3200+, 2Gb RAM, AGP ATI RADEON 1950 PRO. Yesterday i installed new ATI v8.42.3 driver from freshrpms. glxinfo shows:

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1950 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

All seems ok, but when i starting _any_ GL application, it shows "black square" on screen. For example, when glxgear running, it counts fps

[user@host ~]$ glxgears
20562 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4112.352 FPS
20196 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4039.041 FPS

but shows "blackbox" without any gears. Here my xorg.conf

Did you have XGL installed if so remove it ( please remember that the driver from freshrpms is still in testing and may have some issues )

su -
wget http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/scripts/xgl/installXGL_EN
sh installXGL_EN -r

also try editing xorg.conf and comment out the bits below

What driver did you use before 8.42 ( was it livna ? )

[roust]

Before 8.42 i've tried freshrpms and livna drivers (8.40), _NOT_in the same time, of course, and both of them were not work, so i've removed them.

My card is ati x1300 64Mb, my system is fc6. I don't want 3d desktop, just want to upgrade the driver to see if it has better qualities to play videos.

My kernel version is 2.6.20. It's out of date but I can't upgrade it to the newest version, or my sound card will not work.

Thank you very much!
I used your xorg.conf and my screen resolution became right, but I can't run glxinfo, and can't play videos. I disabled AIGLX.

Hello Together,

I Installed everything acording to your first post, and everything works just fine.
Now id like to use Aiglx and the cube with my dualhead setup.
I configured My monitors to run in Xinerama Mode with an Ati x700, which by the way didnt work before the driverupdate.
When trying to fire beryl up with my second Monitor connected its giving me this error aoutput:

[root@v403-0:~]# beryl
************************************************** ************

Is there a Way to get it working on a Dualhead Setup?

Thank you very much

I can't see anything in the output that would cause this

Try building your own kmod-fglrx driver from source rpm for your kernel

http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/7/SRPMS/fglrx-kmod-8.42.3-2.2.6.22.9_91.fc7.src.rpm

http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/7/SRPMS/xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.42.3-5.lvn7.src.rpm


su
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 fglrx-kmod-8.42.3-2.2.6.22.9_91.fc7.src.rpm --define 'kvariants ""' --define 'kversion `uname -r`'
rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i386 xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.42.3-5.lvn7.src.rpm

to satisfy the deps you will need to install livna-config-display as well

http://www.fedoraforum.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=3567&c=1&cutoffdate=all

[roust]

I installed driver form livna, as you told.


su -
init 3
yum erase ati-x11-drv
rmmod fglrx
yum install kmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit
yum update kmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit
service fglrx restart
fglrx-config-display enable
reboot

The result was as earlier

Your plan is good :cool:

new driver works awesome. far from perfect but a great improvement for sure

for some reason, im not able to enable the 'desktop effects', although beryl works fine. any ideas?

If I get you well I'm having a similar problem. The new fglrx installs and works ok until I kick compiz/compiz-fusion on Aiglx (Radeon Mobility 9700 on F7 totally updated). When I start compiz I have an error message saying that desktop effects couldn't be enabled and all my window borders die (metacity dead?).

More stuff:
-DRI enabled.
-Composite ON
-AIGLX
-ctrl+alt+backspace blacksout X and it hangs there (I believe this is a known bug on fglrx).
-Still cannot recover from suspend.
- Performance increase on my card is about 25% over the radeon driver without compiz.

I have the same 'problem' of not being able to enable Compiz, but Beryl. It does not matter for me because I consider Beryl is better anyhow.

Have you had problems with the fglrx driver when you shutdown/reboot Fedora?

Thanks.
Joe.

[maladeus]

Have you had problems with the fglrx driver when you shutdown/reboot Fedora?

Hey, Joe

No I haven't, then again I never shutdown Fedora with the Fglrx, if shutting down works in a similar way as an reboot then no problems... (I only rebooted because I could not restart X).

I'm an addict to fusion so if it doesn't work there really isn't a reason for me to use fglrx because it is buggier than radeon (cannot restart X and doesn't fix my suspend issue). As for the performance 25% isn't that much (they advertised 200% on phoronix) but we are talking 2d here, I don't know how it would go with the desktop effects.

I guess I'll either wait for a new version or for someone knowledgeable to edit a text file somewhere in Fedora ;)

[strikeforce]

My understanding is the latest fglrx driver does not work on the 2.6.23 kernel so please please be careful with installing it.

I have the same 'problem' of not being able to enable Compiz, but Beryl. It does not matter for me because I consider Beryl is better anyhow.



everything seems so laggy when running beryl though, where as with compiz i dont notice a preformance hit at all

[its4mreddy]

I have just upgraded the kernel to 2.6.23.1-10.fc7. I have lost the direct rendering after that for ati 8.42.3
driver. Ireinstalled twice but no luck. fglrxinfo is eporting as Mesa.

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized.
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

Please let me know what I should do to get back DRI.

[strikeforce]

Turning beryl on through beryl manager works. Turning on desktop-effects doesn't for me. Compiz makes me lose the top bit of every window.

The top bit in firefox for example is where it says FedoraForum.org - Howto blahblah.

It's better than it was before. The performance seems to be great.

Hello, guys!

I've red HOWTO on the first page - thanks to author! I have Fedora 7 with KDE desktop installed and default driver for my ATI 9800Pro card. I would like to install compiz-fusion package (as i understood, this is the most actual package at the moment, after Compiz and Beryl were merged). I have to say that i've experienced little misunderstanding:
- Is HOWTO still actual, after new ATI driver 8.42.3 (supporting AIXGL) and compiz-fusion package 0.6.0 became available?
- Should i download and install new ATI driver separately? Otherwise, in what point of HOWTO actual downloading of the new driver occurs, in point 1 (for example, from Livna repository) or in point 4 via nicofo's script?
- Should i remove old default driver manually before installation and how to do that?

Thanks for help! Linux is the new OS for me, so sorry for may be "stupid" questions.

Compiz-fusion is the latest and greatest

Is HOWTO still actual, after new ATI driver 8.42.3 (supporting AIXGL)

The howto was modified to account for the changes and are clearly marked

compiz-fusion package 0.6.0 became available?

It won't as 0.6.0 needs packages from F8 to work

HOWTO actual downloading of the new driver occurs, in point 1 (for example, from Livna repository) or in point 4 via nicofo's script?
- Should i remove old default driver manually before installation and how to do that?

Point 1 ( the ati driver is supplyed by livna )

Point 4 is no longer needed for the new driver ( I will edit the howto ;) )

get compiz-fusion from here ( it will be included in F8 as standard )

[lester81]

Thanks for the fast reply and answers leigh123@linux (and respect for HOWTO)!!! :)

Point 4 is no longer needed for the new driver ( I will edit the howto )

You mean that i should run installXGL_EN -cb script to install compiz-fusion (according to the update in HOWTO) instead of installXGL_EN script and yum -y install beryl command or completely discard point 4?

Updated: Question isn't actual now :) . I've followed your link - the better way is to install compiz-fusion from kagesenshi's repository.

Well, i'll try to install it today evening on my home computer... I hope i'll be able to do it without significant problems... :rolleyes:

Thats a selinux problem try editing grub when booting and add selinux=0 to the kernel line

For more info start another thread as this is unrelated to the fglrx driver

I installed compiz-fusion yesterday evening. It seems that all packages were installed correctly and works as expected: Compiz-Display-Config menu item was added and i could set up desktop effects in it, except:

- when i try to run fusion-icon command i receive following output:

and i didn't see icon in a system tray. I have KDE desktop manager and i've red in Kagesenshi Wiki (http://wiki.kagesenshi.org/moin.fcgi/CategoryPackages/CompizFusion) that author "have no idea whether fusion-icon-qt is working or not". Does a correct way to fix this problem exist?

- After running this command, i can see cube and other effects, but borders on ALL windows weren't drawn. So i couldn't move, minimize, maximize window other than from context menu. Is it a correct behaviour for compiz?

- Another menu item Livna-Display-Configuration is available, but i red earlier in this thread that some people manually removed livna-config-display through:

su
yum erase livna-config-display

Should i do that also?

- It seems that all effects work, but system works a little bit slowly (for example when i scroll page in Firefox). May be the reason is in my configuration: P4-2.4, 1Gb RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 128Mb or due to using KDE desktop?

Sorry, i didn't understand your last post. You mean start from the menu, not from the command line, like i did before? I've already tried to do that - nothing happens. Anyway, thanks for your help!

[lester81]

It seems, i've fixed problem with borders! In my case the problem was in empty Command field in Window Decoration option in CompizConfig Settings Manager. I've put emerald --replace there (after reading other thread (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=170541&page=2&pp=15&highlight=compiz) in this forum) and all borders are drawn now! Also some effects began work.

Hello, I've just tried getting this working and it seemed to be going well until yum tried sorting dependencies for: xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit and downloaded an older kernel than the one I'm running, which then meant it didn't install(!). the kmod-fglrx and xorg-x11-drv-fglrx seemed to install fine ,and when I rebooted a little while I had to change kernel to start up, as there were to 'edited' kernel types (i can't remember what they said, but it was bsically kernel '1', kernel '1' xxx and kernel '2', kernel '2' xxx )

Thanks for any help you can give me, by the time I'm next on here I should know what the new kernels are!

You have to be full root ( su needs the dash for the command to work )

su -

and not

su

[thelevellers]

Wow, I've never heard of being 'full root' before.. is that bad?! lol

that gave this response:

Try removing the xen kernel as there is no fglrx module for this kernel


su
yum erase kernel-xen
reboot

Ok, so far so good, I got to this stage
Then add these sections. ( for driver version 8.42 or higher )

Quote:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option “DAMAGE” “true”
EndSection


Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

and then tried to restart the x server, and it died on me coming up with a parse error (or two) in line 34 of xorg.conf i believe, or near enough... Also, I was just going to add what ati driver version i was running ,but now the ati catalyst control center isnt working (it was before)... but I remeber it was above 8.42 (well im 99% certain any way...)

Ok, so I've finished the install instructions with no errors (finally!) but I'm still not getting a 'yes' for direct rendering, and the ATI console thing is telling me that the driver is not installed correctly (or its missing, but im guessing thats not the problem...)

I'm getting these read outs for the last two commands:
fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2)

glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
(etc)

thanks, I'm nearly there I hope! :D

Hi Leigh,
Running Fedora 8 x86_64. Followed your instructions for installing fglrx drivers. when I come back to the GUI after a reboot and issue the fglrx and glx (info) command this is what I get.

[cv@archieix ~]$ fglrxinfo
Segmentation fault
[cv@archieix ~]$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Segmentation fault
[cv@archieix ~]$

Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Hello,

need a bit of help here. Everything was working fine for me until I tried to install drivers 8.42.3 with kernel 2.6.23. I then realized that my card (a FireGL) is not supported by the new driver version, so I had to revert to drivers 8.40 and kernel 2.6.22.9-91.

1)After reinstalling my drivers I seem to be having problems running noXgl. I remember the command printenv DISPLAY used to return something other than :0.0 before when everything worked fine. Now I get :0.0. Hmmm...
2)I run gnome/metacity but there is a /usr/bin/kwin file. This file was installed by the package kdebase, which in turn was installed by beryl-kde, which is a dependency of beryl. So it seems that noXgl thinks I'm running kde, which is not correct. Anyway, I renamed /usr/bin/kwin to something else and still when I run:
noXgl -a emacs
I get
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
metacity: no process killed


Can you help me get noXgl working again? I suspect it's related to the DISPLAY :0.0 issue. And is there any way I can remove kde and keep beryl? Why does it have beryl-kde as a dependence?

I'm running Fedora 7 with kernel 2.6.22.9-91, drivers 8.40 (Beryl does work). Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Hi, there. I followed this link to installed fglrx+xgl+compiz-fusion on Fedora 7, without a problem. I've got awesome desktop top effects. However, after a clean installation of Fedora 8, and followed the installation instruction, I have fglrx 8.42.3 successfully installed, but got no desktop effects.

Ditch the fedora desktop effects as they are crap and install compiz-fusion instead ( I have posted my own version of compiz-fusion, give it a go but you will need to remove all the fedora compiz packages first )

Hello,

need a bit of help here. Everything was working fine for me until I tried to install drivers 8.42.3 with kernel 2.6.23. I then realized that my card (a FireGL) is not supported by the new driver version, so I had to revert to drivers 8.40 and kernel 2.6.22.9-91.

1)After reinstalling my drivers I seem to be having problems running noXgl. I remember the command printenv DISPLAY used to return something other than :0.0 before when everything worked fine. Now I get :0.0. Hmmm...
2)I run gnome/metacity but there is a /usr/bin/kwin file. This file was installed by the package kdebase, which in turn was installed by beryl-kde, which is a dependency of beryl. So it seems that noXgl thinks I'm running kde, which is not correct. Anyway, I renamed /usr/bin/kwin to something else and still when I run:
noXgl -a emacs
I get
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
metacity: no process killed


Can you help me get noXgl working again? I suspect it's related to the DISPLAY :0.0 issue. And is there any way I can remove kde and keep beryl? Why does it have beryl-kde as a dependence?

I'm running Fedora 7 with kernel 2.6.22.9-91, drivers 8.40 (Beryl does work). Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Your card is unsupported by fglrx in fedora as you need ati version 8.35 for your card to work

Have you tried the open source radeon driver ?

[leigh123linux]

I have just install FC8 - I installed the ATI drivers (ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run) - but things seem pretty messed up.

When I try and run the ATI Catalyst Control Center )amdcccle) I get the following error:

Sorry I don't support the home page ati driver ( try reinstalling and use the livna driver method )

[hsocasnavarro]

Your card is unsupported by fglrx in fedora as you need ati version 8.35 for your card to work

It was working fine before, maybe it's not officially supported but it definitely works. In fact I have Beryl and Xgl working right now, it's just noXgl that isn't working and I suspect it might be something very simple related to the DISPLAY variable.

Have you tried the open source radeon driver ?

Yes, but it's too slow for Beryl and other 3D applications/games.

[hsocasnavarro]

Ok, I've _almost_ managed to resolve my problem
I edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf to add display :1 to the Xgl command, like this:
command=/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer

Now printenv DISPLAY shows :1.0
However, when I try to launch anything on the :0.0 display or to run noXgl, I get:

Display :0.0 unavailable, simulating -nw

I think I'm pretty close to getting it right but still need a bit of help

I have got compiz-fusion installed as per your instruction. Now, I got the fusion icon, but no windows decorator at all. Any suggestions? thanks!

[hsocasnavarro]

Woohoo!! I fixed my problem
I just ran the Xgl installation script with -r to remove it and the reinstalled it
./installXGL_EN -r
./installXGL_EN
Now everything works again like a charm, including noXgl

By the way, I still have a little problem when I run noXgl with the -a option. After closing the application and going back to Xgl/Beryl my screen gets messed up. The upper half is displayed on the lower half. Reloading beryl doesn't fix it, I need to restart the X server. Anyway, this is no big deal and I used to have this problem before so I'm going to assume it's due to my card not being officially supported.

You guys rule! I love you!!! :)
Long live Beryl and Compiz

As you are using kernel 2.6.23 you may be better off using the livna driver instead.

Wow, I've never heard of being 'full root' before.. is that bad?! lol

service fglrx restart
Checking for module fglrx.ko: [FAILED]

I got the same error as Joao82 (mesa lib and no dri).
I followed the instructions exactly as described (patchs, reboots and resets as and when specified).
I have F7 on x86_64 and the 8.40. I used the freshrpm's package (should I have used livna instead?)

The freshrpms driver doesn't work with the 2.6.23 kernel so I would uninstall it and use the livna driver instead .

i've just installed Fedora 8 and followed the guide in post #1.

Everything went fine but i don't have any option for a Gnome + XGL session in the login window.

Is this still the way to do it in F8 or is there any other way to startup Beryl ?

New ati drivers support AIGLX! So XGL is not longer need. Try start it with fusion-icon. Or gldesktop button in system - appearance menu.

[CNLiberal]

I've got a new FC8 install (as of today). I ran a yum update and let it finish. I then installed the ati propriatary driver from their site and that now works. Then I read it was better to use livna so I installed that repo and and installed fglrx. I did not uninstall ATI's driver as I read it can remove/break other apps. So I've been following this thread and I've ran these commands:

yum remove compiz*
yum remove libcompiz*

The last command said "No Matches" so I guess that's OK. I have downloaded the tar.gz of the pre-built RPMs for compiz and installed them (which I believe came from leigh123@linux). I run fusion-icon from the terminal and I receive this error:

[joltman@localhost ~]$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: gnome

... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
* Using the GTK Interface
* Starting Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Fatal: No sync extension

And that's as far as it gets. I'm really at a loss here. I tried to uninstall compiz from the Add/Remove Software but it seems to be taking forever. It updates until it looks like it's at 100% (full bar) but then it just appears to sit there. I've let it be for about 5 minutes but haven't seen any change. Maybe I should let it sit for a while. Either way, the compiz is the main problem right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Any ideas? Thank you in advance :)

P.S. Tried the i386 version. "Same **** different day. And don't get me wrong. I can't run X at all. Using my HP Compaq 6715s (ATI X1250 video).
Unfortunately I don't know how to copy-paste (still a noobie) since I don't have X.

I think I'll clean and start everything again using livna.

I tried to run yum updates, but that is just locking up (a currently known and outstanding issue). I am using kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8. Is this issue related to yum/livna, or is this something else?

[fedyar]

Does anyone has success story about radeon x1950xt and compiz? Please, reply!

[maitrebart]

Did you remove XGL as it isn't required with 8.42 ( did you change xorg.conf to suit the new driver )

Ok, I cleaned everything out then I started back again the whole install using livna.
I did all the steps as described.
This time 8.42 was installed (F7 x86_64).
As far as I understood, steps 4 and 5 were not needed.
However I ended up without any window borders.
I looked in my (gnome) menus and surprisingly found that beryl was installed.
I started Beryl Manager and I got back my window borders as well as beryls effects too. (DRI is ok)

However, glxgears is flashy, 3D screen savers are terribly slow (except in the small preview window) and even scrolling in firefox with the mouse wheel is slow.
I tried to switch the window manager back to metacity and the 3 above came back normal; but now I have no beryl.

glxinfo always indicate positive direct rendering. So I wonder what is going wrong?

Hi leigh123,

I am using FC6 with latest kernel in my Dell E1505 laptop with Mobility Redeon X1400 video card. I followed exactly what you have explained for the FC6. After installing fglrx driver, modifing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and restarting X; I tried to login. After login it goes to visual mode and then quickly comes back to text mode, and repeates againg and again. I changed xorg.conf to its original (back up) but it did not help. However, if I login as a root, everything is fine. Any idea how to fix this. I appreciate it

Thanks

what driver version?

[manojg]

The "Hardware" displays that the driver is fglrx. The installed files shows kmod-fglrx 8.39.4-2.2............ I guess it is 8.39.4. Yes, it is 8.39.4 as shown by ATI Catalyst Control Center.

Try creating a new user account because I can see nothing wrong in the output

[manojg]

Yes, I created a new account and it is fine now. However, with this new feature (XGL, Beryl etc, ) the maximize, minimize and close icons from the top right of the window are gone. Can we bring this back? Thanks a lot for you help.

[leigh123linux]

Try selecting emerald as the window decorator ( this can be found in beryl-manager )

Tried that and still the same issues...

looks to be an ATI driver issue and/or compiz-fusion issue as it seems to be a universal problem across different Distro's.

I think the Ubuntu folk are loading the libGL.so.1.2 driver from the 'mesa' libraries to get compiz-fusion working with AIGLX but there seems to be a big hit on performance doing so...

Might need to wait for a driver/compiz-fusion fix for ATI from the way things are looking...

I would say the fault is with the new ATI driver :(

No prob... and thanks for all your work on the compiz-fusion packages.

[tkeene]

This guide worked great for FC7, but after a fresh install of FC8 I have a problem. I install the drivers according to the posted guide and xorg crashes, reverting eventually back to the vesa drivers (with the wrong display resolution, which I have not been able to fix). The ATI drivers never successfully load.

I am using the latest kernel (2.6.23). The problem (I think) is that I am using a FireGL v5250 (laptop). Again, this worked fine with FC7, but I think the most recent driver will not support my card (not sure about this, however). So: if I need to go down a driver version or two, how do I do that, is it advisable/possible, or should I just wait awhile until FireGL cards are supported?

Thanks in advance.

Leigh,

I tried the above and i found everything and edited the files like suggested. I'm still receiving this error:

[joltman@galifrey ~]$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: gnome
* Searching for installed applications...

... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
* Using the GTK Interface

I did notice that when I ran the glxinfo that the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap was missing from this section:

GLX extensions:

I'm running an ATI 9800XT which should work with CompizFusion. Thanks for your help!

Hi Leigh,

I am getting strange behavior with my laptop. Yesterday, it was fine after creating a new user account.
glxinfo showed

Today, with glxinfo I got

You need to disable selinux

glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

[manojg]

you mean to disable selinux before doing all above the processes and then enable again?

[leigh123linux]

No just disable selinux reboot ( and if you want to re-enable it you can after this )

[manojg]

One more question.

direct rendering: No


How to make this yes. I tried

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

bot it did not work. I am also testing the "Mesa". An example mesa code say

./gearbox
freeglut (./gearbox): Unable to create direct context rendering for window 'gearbox'
This may hurt performance.

I guess it is because of

direct rendering: No

[kai4785]

I'm also having a problem with the final steps. I am able to get GLX working great, fglrxinfo and glxinfo report perfectly:

But I am unable to start compiz. When I run 'desktop-effects' the pop up window says 'Desktop effects could not be enabled'. My terminal shows:

So gaming works fine, videos are fine. It's just compiz I'm having a problem with. I also tried your compiz packages, with nearly identical errors. It was a little more verbose about 'try with the --replace' switch, but it wouldn't restart metacity when it failed :).

What should I try next?

my conf...any problem with it?

[leigh123linux]

I'm also having a problem with the final steps. I am able to get GLX working great, fglrxinfo and glxinfo report perfectly:

# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

# glxinfo | head
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_OML_swap_method,
GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group
client glx vendor string: SGI


But I am unable to start compiz. When I run 'desktop-effects' the pop up window says 'Desktop effects could not be enabled'. My terminal shows:

# desktop-effects
compiz (core) - Fatal: No valid GL extensions string found.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0

So gaming works fine, videos are fine. It's just compiz I'm having a problem with. I also tried your compiz packages, with nearly identical errors. It was a little more verbose about 'try with the --replace' switch, but it wouldn't restart metacity when it failed :).

What should I try next?


Try waiting for the next ATI driver to be released as the present driver is crap ( I am friggin sick of ATI :mad: )

Leigh, you state that this driver doesn't work with the 2.6.23 kernels. What if I have that kernel? Do I have to downgrade? They're the most recent, aren't they? Not trying to do dual, just trying to get decent screensaver speeds for my ants and what-not! ;^)

[Wendell]

Actually, here's the problem. I get a decent glxgears rate - something over a thousand, but my screensavers are horribly slow. At work now, but had a minute to ask the question. I tried the fglrx driver to no avail, but when I ran fglrx-config-display enable, it returned "Command not found". I searched for fglrx-config-display and could not find the command.

I'll stop here. Thanks for your service to this whole community!

P.S. I've just read the ATI/NVIDIA notes from https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-February/msg01565.html referenced on the Hardware forum sticky. Since I can't remember what I've done on this system - I've used it off and on since F7 came out - I'm going to obey the admonition in the redhat sticky to uninstall any ATI drivers I can find and run a full yum update to get back to a clean state, then try the fglrx from Livna again.

I'll stop here. Thanks for your service to this whole community!

Try waiting for the next ATI driver to be released as the present driver is crap ( I am friggin sick of ATI :mad: )

Wholeheartedly agreed. :-)

I get some problems trying to enabling 3D acceleration on Fedora 8
My graphic card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (integrated/Motherboard).
Probably it can be unsupported, but i'm not sure, because it works very good with Ubuntu "Gutsy Gibbon" and with all previous Fedora versions.

The problems I get are these:

1) when i try to install package xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit i get:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-32bit available.
Nothing to do

2) when i launch service fglrx restart i get:

[root@localhost ~]# service fglrx restart
Checking for module fglrx.ko: [FALLITO]
fglrx.ko for kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 was not found. [ATTENZIONE]
fglrx DRI will not be enabled until one is found. [ATTENZIONE]

where "Fallito" is like "Fault" and "Attenzione" is "Warning" or something like it.

3) [root@localhost ~]# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.2)

why vendor string result Mesa and why not Ati Technologies ... ?
If I am not wrong I think Mesa drivers are installed by default with Fedora 8, is it right?

I made all steps correctly, but i don't understand why with last Ubuntu version Rendering works correctly and my graphic card is supported, instead with Fedora 8 it doesn't work?

Thanks.

[Wendell]

I just went through the instructions again and it worked! I don't know what I did/didn't do the first time. The only catch was that I had to actually reboot, not just restart X in order to get it setup. Before I rebooted, even thought I did the service fglrx restart, fglrx-config-display enable and the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but was getting no Direct Rendering before the restart. I also got a frame rate of around 200fps! Not good! But now, I have around 3,000fps and my screensavers work wonderfully! Thank you SO MUCH!

Thanks.

You need to reboot into the new kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8 ( this is the old one "kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8" )


post

rpm -q kernel

and

uname -r

[ingc]

Thanks, I have configured grub to load the new kernel version that was already installed and now it works very good, rendering too!

[red_dungeon]

Try waiting for the next ATI driver to be released as the present driver is crap ( I am friggin sick of ATI :mad: )

Can ack that.

No prob on my laptop with NVIDIA Graka (Compiz works out of the box), but a lot of probs with my Radeon Mobile X1600.

No working compiz, horrible performance on desktop (moving terminals around gets the CPU to 100%), crashing amdcccle, see err...


Locking assertion failure. Backtrace:
#0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 [0x2ec777]
#1 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0(xcb_xlib_unlock+0x31) [0x2ec8d1]


I've downgraded to 8.40.4


display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4)


Now I have less performance impacts on 2D (moving terminals around), at least this...

Compiz isn't possible to get running.

Crappy ATI drivers...
...this is why I prefer Nvidia Grakas on Linux (just my personal opinion)

[leigh123linux]

Ok I have a fix for the compiz-fusion error in F8



* Opening CompizConfig context
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
* Using the GTK Interface

You will need to downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg

For i386

su
wget http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-server/1.3.0.0/9.fc7/i386/xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7.i386.rpm
rpm -U --oldpackage xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7.i386.rpm


For x86_64

su
wget http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-server/1.3.0.0/9.fc7/x86_64/xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -U --oldpackage xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7.x86_64.rpm


If this works OK for you you will need to ban xorg-x11-server-Xorg from updating


su
gedit /etc/yum.conf

and add this line

exclude=xorg-x11-server-Xorg

I haven't had a ATI card myself for over a year now and prefer Nvidia for support and ease of setup.

[ahvi]

Would it possible for someone to tell me how to use the kmod-fglrx-8.42.3 patch for Fedora 8 and the 2.6.23 kernel? I would greatly appreciate the help.

[leigh123linux]

Would it possible for someone to tell me how to use the kmod-fglrx-8.42.3 patch for Fedora 8 and the 2.6.23 kernel? I would greatly appreciate the help.

As far as I know the Livna driver is already patched to work with the 2.6.23 kernel , can you provide a link for more info about the patch ?

[PashaP]

Hi, please help :)
How I can determine a display resolution? I'm installing the FC8 and xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.195-3.fc8 kmod-fglrx - 8.42.3-8.lvn8.i686 and chose resolution 1400x1500. But I think resolution installed isn't correctly because a have a big fonts and icons. Or I should change a Gnome theme?
Thanks
