Linux GLSL not Supported while Windows does?

I have an ATI 9800Pro card, I also have windows 2K and Redhat Linux 8.0 installed.

In the windows 2K platform I can use GLSL. But in the linux platform, it can NOT be supported. “ARB_vertex_shader”, “ARB_fragment_shader”, and “ARB_shader_object” are all NOT supported. I am confused. :confused:

I’ve install latest linux driver 8.8.25 from ATI website. But why the extensions needed by GLSL are still not supported.

Also in this forum, a guy said he/she can use GLSL in linux with a card 9800 SE. (http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/cgi_directory/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000612). My card is better 9800SE??

Thanks for your time.

type ‘glxinfo’ and post the output, it seems that you haven’t installed the ATI driver or their libGL
properly.

here is the result of glxinfo in my linux, I just can not found “ARB_vertex_shader”, “ARB_fragment_shader”, etc.:

There you go as i said you haven’t installed the ATI driver properly - you 've been still running the old driver 3.2.8

you should see something like this, that’s from my server that has a Radeon 9200 inside (so ignore the board info)

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9200 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4769 (X4.3.0-8.8.25)

you should see the version number of the latest ATI driver that is: 8.8.25

cheers,

Thank “glBug”, I’ve reinstalled the latest driver and the problem is resolved.
