Hi all,
I've just installed the 64 kernel FC4 on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 with a Asus
AX800XL (which is a Radeon X800 card).
For a driver I used the propriety one from ATI so I could play
freedroidRPG (it needs 3D acceleration).
What happens is, the /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the following messages:
(II) Loading sub module "fglrxdrm"
(II) LoadModule: "fglrxdrm"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/linux/libfglrxdrm.a

(--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
(II) do I need RAC? No, I don't.
(II) resource ranges after preInit:

(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
So, bottom line is, I have no 3D accelleration because the
/dev/dri/card0 is missing?
Or, is 3D hardware acceleration just not available for Radeon X800 cards?
If I start freedroidRPG anyway, it ends my X-session immediately
(really: a fraction of a second) and I am presented a logon screen......
Does anyone know what is wrong here?
Guus.
