ATI Radeon (As my Gforce wasnt compatable with this mb)
MPX motherboard, AMD Agp chipset...  768 I think...  *shrug*

No hardware accel for me yet.

Hello all,

I hope this is the right place to ask for help. I've
got my new Radeon 9600 Pro and installed fglrx-3.11.1
driver for it. To my dismay, somehow the DRI doesn
work:

direct rendering: No
   GLX_ATI_render_texture
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

So I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's wrong:

(II) fglrx(0): [drm] register handle = 0xe5000000
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error
"xf86_ENOMEM"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for
kernel
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA

(WW) fglrx(0):

So it says no AGP? Then I tried:

[root@localhost root]# modprobe agpgart
FATAL: Module agpgart not found.

Okay, so I remember I'm using NForce2 Mobo and I
googled around. I found some mention of nvidia-agp
module. I tried that:

[root@localhost root]# modprobe nvidia-agp
FATAL: Module nvidia_agp not found.

Where can I find this module? I've tried both internal
and external AGP option with fglrx. Both gives no DRI.

Thanks,
Hesty

I gave up on ATI after a month of fighting. To bad the NVidia didn't work. Has ATI provided DRI support for the 9600. They didn't have it in January when I gave up. I purchased a NVida and had it running with full support within minutes of closing the case.

I think you have to build the module from the ATI drivers. Look at the readme files.
