Hi
I am running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and installed (I think) the ATI proprietary driver according to this:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
Wanting to code, I then installed XFree86 4.6.0
ok but after that I get the following in shell with fglrxinfo:
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 6.2.1)
It used to read something like ATI, 9800Pro, 2.0+ , which I want it to do once again, like before I
installed XFree86 4.6.0.
I have tried repeating the instructions in the top link
in getting back opengl 2.0+:
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
leads to:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
xorg-driver-fglrx is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
sudo aticonfig --initial
leads to:
Found fglrx primary device section
Nothing to do, terminating.
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
leads to:
Warning: Option ‘VideoOverlay’ doesn’t affect running session.
Warning: Option ‘OpenGLOverlay’ doesn’t affect running session.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-6
But the after rebooting with
sudo shutdown -r now
, fglrxinfo still gives
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 6.2.1)
I would appreciate if someone could tell how to get opengl 2.0 back
and still being able to compile etc. with XFree86 4.6.0. Thanks.
