Hi!

I installed Ubuntu 5.10 and it looks very nice. Still, I've got a problem with 3d acc. In section "Device" in xorg.conf I typed
- option "bustype" "pci" - and module "dri" is active too. After rebooting, glxinfo showed that direct rendering is on, but after few seconds system simply crashed. Sometimes it crashes just after starting some 3d app. I had the same problem with suse 10.0. Can somebody send me xorg.conf file. I would like to see if some other option or module needs to be shut off or turned on.

Of course after I put # before "dri" or "bustype" everything works again, but naturally without direct rendering. :?

Hi!

Very likely it has nothing to do with your xorg.conf, but with a "bug" in xorg. If you use modular xorg you should at least
patch & recompile the xf86-video-ati module.
This thread probably will help you:

Good luck so far!

I'll post my Xorg.conf. I'm using Xorg-7.1-rc2 and it works with DRI, GLX, and Composite.
Code:
Section "Module"

Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension

SubSection "extmod"
# Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "fbdevhw"

EndSection


Section "Device"

Option "BusType" "PCI"
Option "BackingStore" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "ColorTiling" "false"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS, NONE"
Identifier "Radeon 9000"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "Radeon R250 [Radeon 9000]"
BusID "PCI:1:8:0"

EndSection


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Radeon 9000"
Monitor "Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

EndSection


Section "ServerLayout"

Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

EndSection


Section "DRI"

Mode 0666

EndSection


Section "Extensions"

Option "Composite" "Enable"

EndSection
I took out the font and input stuff to shorten the post. I hope this helps.

Location: greensboro , NC U.S.A.
Had the same problems in FC4 & 5
FC5 uses xorg 7.0 and after reading this tread I looked for a newer ati driver.
Found one at ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core ... -1.ppc.rpm
Installed it, edited xorg.conf like the one above and it works.
Let the Peg run over night and no crashes

nels


PS type man radeon to see all the Options.
