ATI Proprietary Radeon Display Drivers 8.13.3 for Linux (Radeon XPress)

linuxrocks123 · Jun 22, 2005, 04:18 AM

Hello. I have a problem iwth the Radeon Xpress drivers and I was hoping someone could help. I'm using Slackware-current (XOrg 6.8.2) and tried to install the ATI proprietary drivers for the Radeon Xpress 200M graphics card on my HP Pavilion zv6000 laptop. I'm using a custom-compiled 2.6.11.11 kerne. After patching the drivers with some patches found on th8is forum for 8.12.10, the drivers do compile and I'm able to get 3D acceleration. However, after stopping and restarting the X server, my computer freezes. At first I thought this was an issue with the kernel, but I had a similar situation when using unpatched 8.13.3 drivers and the stock Slackware 2.4 kernel. I'm beginning to think this is a bug with the driver. Has anyone been able to get the 8.13.3 drivers working correctly? Has anyone else had a problem similar to mine. Most importantly, how do I fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

8.13.4 drivers were posted recently. You may want to try them

I cannot guarantee that it will fix your issue in 2.6.11-11, but I remember verifying that a similar behaviour was fixed in 2.6.9 with this driver.

hope it helps.

After installing the update for 8.13.4 (and applying the patches in the 8.12.10 forum to make the driver work with 2.6.11), I no longer have this problem. The release notes for 8.13.4 acknowledge this as a "Resolved Issue."

Thanks for your help and for fixing the drivers

Does 3D work for you? I have installed the driver but can't get the 3d working correctly. I have the resolution right though

At least something works.

kajeandra, could you provide some more details?
dmesg and X log might help us to figure out what's going on with your 3D.

I have a compaq R4000 AMD 64, with Xpress 200M, suse 9.3, kernel 2.6.11.4-21.7-default

After installing ATI driver fglrx64_6_8_0-8.13.4-1.x86_64.rpm, modifying /lib/modules/fglrx/buid/agpgart_be.c (change all instances of pci_find_class to pci_get_class) and applying the mentioned patches (in that order) I get it recognizing mi ATI Xpress 200M, which is a nice step forward. However, I can't get 3D working. DRI initialization fails:

X-windows work but veeery slow. fglrxinfo shows the Mesa libraries are still taken control, bad!

display: :0.0 screen: 0

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

I did use the --force option when installing the ATI driver, so I guess there are some other subtilities around. In a different thread rgregory pointed us to a solution, but it seems not to work in my case. Eventually others have been able to make everything running on the same machine using other Distros,e.g., Ubuntu, see here, but I haven't found anyone reporting it to work on Suse9.3.
Any hints? any new success stories around?
Thanks!

masanlop, when you modprobe fglrx, do you see ny error messages in dmesg?

kajeandra, make sure that your agpgart is loaded. In 2.6 kernels, agpgart has two parts.
1) agpgart.ko (obvious)
2) AGP backend (not so obvious i.e. amd64-agp.ko, etc.)
(look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/agp for others)

SuSE 9.3 is one of our test platforms. You should not require any patches on SuSE to my knowledge (we don't use them on our test machines).

Hope it helps.

Hello rgregory,

Since my last post, I have been able to load the module. But Mesa is still in control. Similar to what masanlop has.

I see what you mean kajeandra. agpgart seems to be loading fine, and the fglrx module is loading.

When you installed the driver, did you force overwite? I'm just wondering if X is still picking up mesa's libGL. Do you have any other display drivers installed - nVidia or dri.sf.org perhaps?

Failing that, you could look through the X log for clues.

hope it helps.

Hello robert,

This is a Compaq R4025CA laptop and therefore, I only have one videocard. I used the force option when I installed the fglrx drivers too. It's a really strange problem. I have to keep switching into windows to play games. I love linux and it would be great if everthing worked there then I can get rid of the bugzilla windows.....

Thanks,
Kajeandra

*rgregory* · Aug 9, 2005, 03:06 PM

Kajeandra, just a thought... try the following command:

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo

It might explain where your system is picking up libGL

Dear " masanlop " i am new to this forum.

well ,i read your post, i did following....

1. install ati_fglrx****.rpm [ Success ]
2. Change pci_find_class pci_get_class to in agpgart_be.c [ Success ]
3. Appying Patches [ Success ]

Now, What to do next ,please explain further steps, i want to install my ATI graphics Card in Linux.

Expecting your kind reeply.

I need NO 3D, I don't need it , i just WANT 1280 x 1024 Resolution , 24 BIT Colors. That's It.

Right now , Sax2 shows : VESA Frambuffer Grphics 'fbdev' with 1280 x 1024 Res. and 16 BIT Colors. When i try to change to any of ATI Graphics listed sax2 ATI Section, X Server Fails and does not save it.

I have the following System.....

So use the standard "radeon" driver included with every XFree86/Xorg build. You don't need fglrx if you don't need 3D.

Be.Gurmeet.Be · Aug 12, 2005, 06:29 PM

Dear ' UberLord ', But how to use 'radeon' driver , i don't know. How can i use it Please explain me step by step ? Is my DVD of SuSE 9.3 x86_64 contains the driver file ? If you guide me i will be highly grateful to you.

There is only one thing i am addict to : and that is LINUX. I don't want to lose it.

Search of ' fglrx ' in YaST , produce the results with two following files...

fglrx-8.10.19-6.x86_64.rpm [ 6.64 MB ]

km_fglrx-8.10.19-6.x86_64.rpm [ 161 KB ]

when i install these pacakages , and configure fglrxconfig, nothing happens. These steps i was recommened to do on other forums. But NO SUCCESS.

Sax2 still shows that shitty VESA Framebuffer Graphics with 1024 x 768 and 16 BIT colors.

If you need any further information regarding my Computer System then kindly ask me.

you can view my MAINBOARD by clicking on the following link...

*rgregory* · Aug 16, 2005, 02:51 PM

Be.Gurmeet.Be, I don't think your mainboard has anything to do with it, and no one here can fault you for wanting to keep your Linux

When Installing SuSE (IME), it is only necessary to run sax2 once during installation to set up the VESA driver initially. Later, after installing fglrx, use fglrxconfig to configure, NOT sax2.

Use the commnd "modprobe fglrx" (as root) to load the fglrx module. Check dmesg immediately afterwards to make sure there were no errors.

When you try to start X using fglrx (now that the module is loaded and X is configured), look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the following messages:

"Acceleration [en|dis]abled"
"Direct Rendering [en|dis]abled"

If either of these are disabled, then the X log should contain some message that explains why.

NOTE: Whether you want 3D or just 2D, you still need the fglrx kernel module to load. Furthermore, advances in X.org will soon make use of OpenGL rendering for 2D functions. I don't know too much about it yet myself, but I have heard others talking about it. Uberlord might know what I'm talking about

rgregory is talking about cairo

http://cairographics.org/introduction

Basically it puts the "bling" of Apples OSX Quartz and Microsoft Windows Vista Avalon into X via OpenGL.

So you get your basic 2D rectangles (window borders, panels, buttons, widgets, etc) handled by your GPU instead of the CPU. In theory cairo drops back to software rendering if your GPU does not support the requested feature.

A really big plus of this is the ability to get accelerated transulcent windows

However, I disagree with rgregorys assumption that you need the fglrx kernel module to load. You don't need it for 2D, but you don't get any accelerated 3D. I had to forgoe using the fglrx kernel module on my old ASUS motherboard as it caused strange issues regarding 2D which were never fixed or acknowledged by ATI - so I sold the kit after a year of waiting and now it loads fine on my new AMD64 system. So I get accelerated 3D now - yay

And if you still have problems with fglrx loading, I know that the dri project has good R200 support (my IGP chipset which I think is a crippled R200 derivate has good working accelerated OpenGL) and I suspect it will work with your XPress too. However, you don't get the patented thingies like S3TC and others.

*rgregory* · Aug 18, 2005, 02:11 PM

Thank you Uberlord, I stand corrected. You do not need the kernel module for 2D. I thought because the OpenGL ICD is provided by a different library (fglrx_dri.so), the fglrx.[k]o was still required for 2D; not so. My mistake.

However, you still need to see "Acceleration enabled" in the X log to confirm that 2D acceleration is present. Here is the relevant text from my own /var/log/Xorg.0.log (using RADEON 9600):

(II) fglrx(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1024)
(II) fglrx(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1280 x 402
(II) fglrx(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA)
Screen to screen bit blits
Solid filled rectangles
8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles
Solid Lines
Dashed Lines
Offscreen Pixmaps
Setting up tile and stipple cache:
30 128x128 slots
(II) fglrx(0): Acceleration enabled

Be.Gurmeet.Be, please let us know if you see anything like this in your X log

Hope it helps.

Dear , UberLord' & 'rgregory' and all the members of this great forum.

I got SUCCESS. I am so happy today. Finally, the efforts of my one month's endless exertions PRODUCED fruit for me.

but , Infact, i had to to make a compromise with Linux for it. I mean to say that i had to install x86 (32 BIT ) Linux on my AMD 64 BIT Computer System then ' fglrx ' drivers installed and worked successfully.

Hey Guys , have understood every thing perfectly. The problem of this entire mess lie in 32 BIT and 64 BIT Distros version.

Infact, ( I talk about SuSE ) in SuSE 9.3 x86_64 ( 64 BIT ) , two important modules are not installed by default which are indispenable to install ' fglrx ' driver. These Modules are:

1. ati_agp
2. agpgart.

without these two modules , installation will be fail all the time. And most of the linux users (especially Newbies) do not know how to install these MODULES manually.

But 32 BIT SuSE distro automatically install these two modules in the system by default.

So i installed 32 BIT SuSE 9.3 Professional on 64 BIT system and chased the following steps...........

1. I mounted the ' POSIX ' memory in the system. To do so I added the following line in /etc/fstab file and saved the file................

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

after that i executed the following command in console...........

># mount /dev

2. Then I made sure that the following pakages are pre installed in the system :

A. glib
B. xfree86 4.3 or Later and xorg 6.8.0 or Later
C. Kernel-Source Package.
D. Kernel-Module for ' fglrx ' Driver. [ Search Yast ]

after that,
3. I just installed " fglrx_6_8_0-8.16.20-1.i386.rpm " [ Because i have 6.8.x or later XORG installed in my system ] To make sure download ' check.sh ' file from ati's site and run it as following.....

># sh check.sh

After installtion of driver package...........

4. I executed ' fglrxconfig ' command , and set almost all the options to default except
Hsync and Vsync of Monitor. The value of these two option user must enter himself. rest of the options just press " ENTER " & " ENTER " and "ENTER "

that's it.

after that reboot the system.............Drivers will be installed successfully.

5. To Check if ' fglrx ' installed i just executed the following commands............

># lsmod

or

># modinfo fglrx

or

># fglrxinfo

etc. etc.

NOTE: YOU NO NEED TO GO TO COMMAND PROMPT TO DO THESE ALL THE STEPS , NO , NEVER, DO IT IN GUI BUT GIVE THE COMMAND IN ' console ' or ' gnome-terminal '

SO FINALLY,

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TWO THINGS....

1st .......... PLEASE ASK ME IF ANYBODY WANTS TO INSTALL 'fglrx' DRIVER IN 32 BIT VERSION OF LINUX , OTHER WISE ,

TELL ME , HOW TO INSTALL IN 64 BIT VERSION OF LINUX.

REGARDS AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.

I HOPE OUT RELATIONSHIP WILL BE PERPETUAL THROUGH THIS FOURM.

Be.Gurmeet.Be

Basically, I have the same system and the same problem yet! I just installed the latest driver version fglrx64_6_8_0_16.20, build the custom one for my system SUSE9.3 (up to here, everything perfect) , rebooted and got a blank screen that does not even let me switch to console mode. so I guess I´ll need to switch off the laptop! Desperating, as lastest ATI release notes finally do list explicitly the Xpress200 as card this driver is valid for...On the other hand, if you issue rpm -qi with the new custom build rpm no reference to Xpress200 appears. This makes me thing it is still an unresolved issue.

Please, rgregori, could you explain how/where should I get the "other" agpgart module, e.g.amd64-agp.ko? Just to make it easier to follow, let me summarize my system specs:
Compaq Presario R4025CA, AMD64, SUSE 9.3 2.6.11.4-21.8-default, of course with an Xpress200M [img]images/blue_heaven/smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Thanks!

rgregory ATI Linux Staff Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Toronto, Ontario Posts: 20 Rep Power: 0	masanlop, when you modprobe fglrx, do you see ny error messages in dmesg? kajeandra, make sure that your agpgart is loaded. In 2.6 kernels, agpgart has two parts. 1) agpgart.ko (obvious) 2) AGP backend (not so obvious i.e. amd64-agp.ko, etc.) (look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/agp for others) SuSE 9.3 is one of our test platforms. You should not require any patches on SuSE to my knowledge (we don't use them on our test machines). Hope it helps. __________________ Regards, Robert Gregory Software QA Team Lead, Linux Software Engineering ATI Technologies Inc., Markham, Ontario, Canada

I have a problem iwth the Radeon Xpress drivers and I was hoping someone could help. I'm using Slackware-current (XOrg 6.8.2) and tried to install the ATI proprietary drivers for the Radeon Xpress 200M graphics card on my HP Pavilion zv6000 laptop. I'm using a custom-compiled 2.6.11.11 kerne. After patching the drivers with some patches found on th8is forum for 8.12.10, the drivers do compile and I'm able to get 3D acceleration. However, after stopping and restarting the X server, my computer freezes. At first I thought this was an issue with the kernel, but I had a similar situation when using unpatched 8.13.3 drivers and the stock Slackware 2.4 kernel. I'm beginning to think this is a bug with the driver. Has anyone been able to get the 8.13.3 drivers working correctly? Has anyone else had a problem similar to mine. Most importantly, how do I fix this? Thanks in advance for your help.

When you installed the driver, did you force overwite? I'm just wondering if X is still picking up mesa's libGL. Do you have any other display drivers installed - nVidia or dri.sf.org perhaps? Failing that, you could look through the X log for clues. hope it helps. robert. __________________ Regards, Robert Gregory Software QA Team Lead, Linux Software Engineering ATI Technologies Inc., Markham, Ontario, Canada

I used the force option when I installed the fglrx drivers too. It's a really strange problem. I have to keep switching into windows to play games. I love linux and it would be great if everthing worked there then I can get rid of the bugzilla windows..... Thanks, Kajeandra

Be.Gurmeet.Be DriverHeaven Newbie Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 6 Rep Power: 0	Dear ' UberLord ', But how to use 'radeon' driver , i don't know. How can i use it Please explain me step by step ? Is my DVD of SuSE 9.3 x86_64 contains the driver file ? If you guide me i will be highly grateful to you. There is only one thing i am addict to : and that is LINUX. I don't want to lose it. Search of ' fglrx ' in YaST , produce the results with two following files... fglrx-8.10.19-6.x86_64.rpm [ 6.64 MB ] km_fglrx-8.10.19-6.x86_64.rpm [ 161 KB ] when i install these pacakages , and configure fglrxconfig, nothing happens. These steps i was recommened to do on other forums. But NO SUCCESS. Sax2 still shows that shitty VESA Framebuffer Graphics with 1024 x 768 and 16 BIT colors. If you need any further information regarding my Computer System then kindly ask me. you can view my MAINBOARD by clicking on the following link... http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...il.php?UID=639 Regards..... - Be.Gurmeet.Be

rgregory ATI Linux Staff Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Toronto, Ontario Posts: 20 Rep Power: 0	Be.Gurmeet.Be, I don't think your mainboard has anything to do with it, and no one here can fault you for wanting to keep your Linux When Installing SuSE (IME), it is only necessary to run sax2 once during installation to set up the VESA driver initially. Later, after installing fglrx, use fglrxconfig to configure, NOT sax2. Use the commnd "modprobe fglrx" (as root) to load the fglrx module. Check dmesg immediately afterwards to make sure there were no errors. When you try to start X using fglrx (now that the module is loaded and X is configured), look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the following messages: "Acceleration [en\|dis]abled" "Direct Rendering [en\|dis]abled" If either of these are disabled, then the X log should contain some message that explains why. NOTE: Whether you want 3D or just 2D, you still need the fglrx kernel module to load. Furthermore, advances in X.org will soon make use of OpenGL rendering for 2D functions. I don't know too much about it yet myself, but I have heard others talking about it. Uberlord might know what I'm talking about __________________ Regards, Robert Gregory Software QA Team Lead, Linux Software Engineering ATI Technologies Inc., Markham, Ontario, Canada

rgregory ATI Linux Staff Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Toronto, Ontario Posts: 20 Rep Power: 0	Thank you Uberlord, I stand corrected. You do not need the kernel module for 2D. I thought because the OpenGL ICD is provided by a different library (fglrx_dri.so), the fglrx.[k]o was still required for 2D; not so. My mistake. However, you still need to see "Acceleration enabled" in the X log to confirm that 2D acceleration is present. Here is the relevant text from my own /var/log/Xorg.0.log (using RADEON 9600): (II) fglrx(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1024) (II) fglrx(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1280 x 402 (II) fglrx(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) Screen to screen bit blits Solid filled rectangles 8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles Solid Lines Dashed Lines Offscreen Pixmaps Setting up tile and stipple cache: 30 128x128 slots (II) fglrx(0): Acceleration enabled Be.Gurmeet.Be, please let us know if you see anything like this in your X log Hope it helps. __________________ Regards, Robert Gregory Software QA Team Lead, Linux Software Engineering ATI Technologies Inc., Markham, Ontario, Canada

Be.Gurmeet.Be DriverHeaven Newbie Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 6 Rep Power: 0	Dear , UberLord' & 'rgregory' and all the members of this great forum. I got SUCCESS. I am so happy today. Finally, the efforts of my one month's endless exertions PRODUCED fruit for me. but , Infact, i had to to make a compromise with Linux for it. I mean to say that i had to install x86 (32 BIT ) Linux on my AMD 64 BIT Computer System then ' fglrx ' drivers installed and worked successfully. Hey Guys , have understood every thing perfectly. The problem of this entire mess lie in 32 BIT and 64 BIT Distros version. Infact, ( I talk about SuSE ) in SuSE 9.3 x86_64 ( 64 BIT ) , two important modules are not installed by default which are indispenable to install ' fglrx ' driver. These Modules are: 1. ati_agp 2. agpgart. without these two modules , installation will be fail all the time. And most of the linux users (especially Newbies) do not know how to install these MODULES manually. But 32 BIT SuSE distro automatically install these two modules in the system by default. So i installed 32 BIT SuSE 9.3 Professional on 64 BIT system and chased the following steps........... 1. I mounted the ' POSIX ' memory in the system. To do so I added the following line in /etc/fstab file and saved the file................ tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 after that i executed the following command in console........... ># mount /dev 2. Then I made sure that the following pakages are pre installed in the system : A. glib B. xfree86 4.3 or Later and xorg 6.8.0 or Later C. Kernel-Source Package. D. Kernel-Module for ' fglrx ' Driver. [ Search Yast ] after that, 3. I just installed " fglrx_6_8_0-8.16.20-1.i386.rpm " [ Because i have 6.8.x or later XORG installed in my system ] To make sure download ' check.sh ' file from ati's site and run it as following..... ># sh check.sh After installtion of driver package........... 4. I executed ' fglrxconfig ' command , and set almost all the options to default except Hsync and Vsync of Monitor. The value of these two option user must enter himself. rest of the options just press " ENTER " & " ENTER " and "ENTER " that's it. after that reboot the system.............Drivers will be installed successfully. 5. To Check if ' fglrx ' installed i just executed the following commands............ ># lsmod or ># modinfo fglrx or ># fglrxinfo etc. etc. NOTE: YOU NO NEED TO GO TO COMMAND PROMPT TO DO THESE ALL THE STEPS , NO , NEVER, DO IT IN GUI BUT GIVE THE COMMAND IN ' console ' or ' gnome-terminal ' SO FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TWO THINGS.... 1st .......... PLEASE ASK ME IF ANYBODY WANTS TO INSTALL 'fglrx' DRIVER IN 32 BIT VERSION OF LINUX , OTHER WISE , TELL ME , HOW TO INSTALL IN 64 BIT VERSION OF LINUX. REGARDS AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. I HOPE OUT RELATIONSHIP WILL BE PERPETUAL THROUGH THIS FOURM. - Be.Gurmeet.Be
