Unable to install ATI Radeon 9800 Linux driver v3.2.5
Hello. I just switched from a NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 to an ATI Radeon
9800 PRO (AIW) recently. I got Windows drivers and applications working. Tonight, I uninstalled NVIDIA driver to try ATI driver. I was unable to get Linux drivers to set work correctly. I got the desktop working, but I don't have 3D acceleration. OpenGL screen savers and probably games (did not bother to check) are choppy. I am using old Red Hat Linux 7.2 (compiled Kernel 2.4.20) with most updates (up2date and red-carpet). ATI's documents were a bit confusing, and not easy to complete like NVIDIA's easy setup. Maybe I am doing this all wrong. Here's are some results when I tried to install and compile drivers: uname -a Linux ANTux-AXP 2.4.20 #12 Mon Aug 11 23:03:32 PDT 2003 i686 unknown fglrx-glc22-4.1.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm: Preparing... ################################################## fglrx-glc22 ################################################## *** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module. *** WARNING *** Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.

[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 802 MBytes.
[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR* Fire GL kernel module has to be loaded prior to any other DRM kernel module! You have another direct rendering module loaded into your kernel (or you have DRM support for another card compiled directly into your kernel). cat /proc/dri/0/name It should list for you the module you have installed. Something like: radeon 0xe200 PCI:1:0:0 I got tdfx 0xe200 Then do a 'rmmod radeon' (or whatever module is listed there). I checked lsmod first: I did not see anything related to my earlier result. I did a rmmod tdfx, but I got "rmmod: module tdfx is not loaded." If it says that module isn't loaded, it means that it's compiled directly into your kernel. You *will* have to recompile the kernel in that case. If it doesn't give an error message, then it means that that kernel module is being loaded at some point during the boot process. You'll have to find out where, and disable it. I viewed my config text file and noticed tdfx was marked Y. I also set other DRM stuff to N. I attached this section FYI. CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y CONFIG_AGP_I810=y CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y # CONFIG_AGP_AMD_8151 is not set CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y # CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_OLD is not set # # DRM 4.1 drivers # CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y # CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set CONFIG_DRM_I810=y CONFIG_DRM_I810_XFREE_41=y # CONFIG_DRM_I830 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set # CONFIG_MWAVE is not set I recompiled my Kernel and still had problems.

Once it is resolved, I will delete it. I notice in the config you've built-in DRM drivers for the Intel 810 chipset. ("CONFIG_DRM_I810=y" and "CONFIG_DRM_I810_XFREE_41=y") These are built-in (not as modules) and may well be causing the conflict with your ATI card. In the DRM section you only need "CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y". Turn off everything else. (Or at least build as modules so you can remove them, but you don't need anything else AFAIK.) |

OK, I will try that later. I am a Kernel newbie so I don't know 75% of the items in it. I will set CONFIG_DRM_I810 and CONFIG_DRM_I810_XFREE_41 to N. For DRM section, I will only set CONFIG_DRM_NEW to Y and everything else as N. I hope this works tonight or so!!
