    Yes, I tried both methods.

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

    Im having the same problem. Somthing i noticed while doing the dist-update is that the package "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic" is installed for you. And uninstalling it just downgrades it to a previous version. I also noticed that even after reboot the file "fglrx.ko" remains in the volatile folder.

    Edit:
    Ignoring the install and uninstall of linux-restricted-module i still come up with a No Screens Found error

    out of the garbled text on the boarders of the screen i get the error

    (--) Assigning device section with no bus ID to primary device
    (EE) No devices detected

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

    Hi,

    I followed your howto but faced some problems. Perhaps you can give me a hand on this?

    1st, when doing:
    Code:
    $ sudo cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/fglrx.ko
    I fail, because such directory doesn't exist (the destination one). Should I copy it someplace else?
    Note: the restricted modules were already installed before I started the howto. This was on a fresh and updated version of Edgy.

    The current situation is, fglrx is being used and X appears to be working OK. However, if I disable Compositing on xorg.conf, I can't log in anymore. The computer stops right after I put my login/password. (I can move the mouse and I can see the background color loaded, but nothing else happens, not even the usplash)
    Plus, I get this output from fglrxinfo:
    Code:
    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 6.5.1)
    I'm using a laptop with ATi Mobility Radeon 9700, by the way.

    I created that folder, actually, but I don't know if that's the right thing to do...

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

    I am having this bit of a problem. I originally followed the instructions from the link you gave then found this howto when that didnt work.

    everything seemed to be going ok until when I started the xgl session it reverted back to gnome as it has done before and when i type
    Code:
    beryl
    i get this output
    ~$ beryl
    ************************************************** ************
    * Beryl system compatiblity check *
    ************************************************** ************

    Detected xserver : XGL

    Support for non power of two textures missing

    I also noticed that when i type
    Code:
    fglrxinfo
    while in the xgl session I get the following

    $ fglrxinfo
    Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
    display: :0.0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON X700 Generic
    OpenGL version string: 2.0.6011 (8.28.8)


    any ideas?

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

    Hey everyone, I updated the guide to include the SVN packages, which are now working on our cards. I also included a new beryl settings profile that is tweaked towards performance (since the 9000 is pretty crappy) and also doesn't have any features that crash our cards (like wobbly windows and skydome).

    Have fun.


    Another note: those of you having trouble getting fglrx to work, maybe look around at other threads, since this guide only has fglrx at the beginning to get most people started, and is mostly about getting xgl and beryl to work.
    Knowledge is half the battle.
    The other half is violence!

    Actually that's the very problem of those with an ATI Radeon 9000, to get fglrx working. I've been looking around for months now, and I was hoping this post would bring up a solution for me... it's very weird it works with your card, but not with mine...

    try reinstalling the libGL file by running this:
    sudo aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri

    some guides make you mess with that file, maybe it messed you up.
