I have a laptop with ATI integrated graphics. lspci shows the
graphics card as:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon
Xpress 1100 IGP]
I have been unsuccessful in getting X configured to work with this
card with dri enabled. I followed the guides at:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml
and I've also Googled for a week with no success. With the x11
drivers installed, I get this error message when starting X:
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
I've emerged ati-drivers and set make.conf to include the fglrx driver
as suggested in the ATI guide. However when loading the fglrx.ko
module, I get an error about "...taints the kernel". Thus I suspect I
have some option set in my kernel that conflicts with the fglrx module?
I'm at a loss. Can some kind soul please point me in the right
direction toward the steps needed to get 3D acceleration on my
laptop? Should I be using x11 or ATI drivers? And if ATI drivers,
any idea what is might be conflicting in my kernel?
Seems the module was never loading due to a conflict because DRI was
compiled into the kernel. I had read that I needed to disable that
option which I did and recompiled the kernel (over and over again).
However the one step I missed was copying the newly compiled kernel from
the source directory to the /boot directory.
Oh the answers are always so simple... It's finding them that's tough. :)
