    Re: Howto: ATI Mobility Beryl/XGL FGLRX in Edgy

    Sure, here's my X11.conf

    Code:
    # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
    #
    # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
    # values from the debconf database.
    #
    # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
    # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
    #
    # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
    # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
    # package.
    #
    # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
    # again, run the following command:
    #   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

    EDIT: NVM! Got it all to work with this code.

    sudo gedit /etc/modules

    then add fglrx!

    SO SIMPLE!

    You are welcome other people in this thread that are scratching their heads!

    That is great. Its weird because that is the same effect that the modprobe fglrx was supposed to have only temporarily.

    Re: Howto: ATI Mobility Beryl/XGL FGLRX in Edgy

    First few days using Ubuntu, but not new to Linux. I have a Dell Smartstep 250N laptop with the 32mb ATI Mobility M6 in it. Using Ubuntu 6.10 fresh install.

    I can follow the steps up until the
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
    At that point I receive this message:
    Code:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Reading extended state information

    Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
    Writing extended state information... Done

    Which appears to complete successfully but not do anything. So I continue to the next step of copying the fglrx.ko file to a safe location. I get this error:
    Code:
    cp: cannot create regular file `/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/misc/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory
    fglrxinfo displays:

    and here is my xorg.conf:

    I would try testing beryl by using beryl-xgl instead of beryl-manager. I remember I had some problems starting beryl-manager from Terminal. Also you can try adding beryl-manager to your startup programs in Gnome sessions (I know this all shouldn't make a difference but in my experience it does).

    Okey, so I managed to get an ati info string, but I can't get beryl starting properly.

    andre@laptop:~$ fglrxinfo
    display: :0.0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY/RADEON 9000 DDR Generic
    OpenGL version string: 1.3.1091 (X4.3.0-8.28.8)

    andre@laptop:~$ beryl-manager
    andre@laptop:~$ XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
    Nvidia Absent, assuming AIGLX
    beryl: No composite extension

    Thanks misha!

    Anywho, i cant enable wobbly windows, and when i do it crashes, does anyone have a fix for that? Cause i used to run beryl fine with wobbly windows before using someone elses HOWTO when edgy first came out.

    If you use the patched deb from my howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276498 it will not crash no matter what your beryl settings. Then you can optimize the wobbly windows for best speed/quality.

    Hi there,

    I wonder how you people deal with the suspend/hibernation after you configure DRI on Radeon Mobility 9000? From my experience and from what I could google out, the combination of this card + fglrx + DRI + suspend never works.

    Code:
    MODULES_WHITELIST="fglrx"
    SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
    POST_VIDEO=false
    DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true
    I did that, and I also tried "noapic" parameter to the kernel, all to no avail. The laptop goes into sleep, but on return it always freezes with black screen. I'm running Edgy, fglrx version is 8.28.8.

    What tricks are you using beside these to make suspend work?

    Thanks.

    PS. Oh yeah, without DRI suspend works like a charm.
