Then I tried the ones from Suse 9.0 also 3.2.8. And I also tried the 3.2.7 download but I didn't know how to install that because this was an RPM only and I found no makefiles within. When I tried to load the module it said that my kernel is compile dwith gcc2 and the module with gcc3 wich doesn't work. I found a thread on linuxquestions which was quite good. At least it got me going so far that X now uses the fglrx driver, but I still have the problem that I can't use KDE with the 3D accelerated OpenGL. When I link against Mesa everything works, but of course I have about 350 FPS on glxgears. When I trie to use the provided OpenGL lib I get this errormessage when starting X: DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-3627' to 'kded' ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-3630' to 'knotify' ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! startkde: Shutting down... KLauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Running shutdown scripts... I don't think that the Radon 9800XT is so much different than the Radeon 9800Pro so the drivers should work. But I think the problem is maybe with KDE. Most of the users I found, which reported success were using Suse 9.0 so it could be that they have an updated KDE. I also tried the libGL.so from one of these users, but that gave me the same errormessage. Of course it could be that I would have needed to copy other lib*so files as well, but I don't think so. On the other hand I can run fvwm2 which works fine, but when I try to run glxgears it breaks also, so this points to the OpenGL stuff. I don't know what else I could try. Currently I install gentoo on my laptop and then I will see. I have a Radeon 900 Mobility in that, but I forgot to check how 3D works there. I plan to install gentoo on my main machine as well, but this will take quite some time until everything works. In the meantime I would be more than happy if somebody could point out what could be wrong. -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
