I have a Compaq Armada m300 with an "ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage LT Pro rev 220" according to XFree86.0.log
I am running Fedora Core 1.
I first tried installing the binaries from the dri project, but when I tried to restart X I got error messages saying it couldn't open the virtual console. So I uninstalled, got the dri/drm/mesa sources and built/installed. X starts fine, and DRI is now a listed extension. glxinfo runs. But... when I try to run glxgears the screen gets garbled and the system hangs.
I have run glxinfo using this script:
-----
#!/bin/sh
export MACH64_DEBUG=all
#export MACH64_NO_IRQS=1
export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
#export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
#export LIBGL_SOFTWARE_RENDERING=1
#export LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH=1
glxinfo > glxinfo.out 2> glxinfo.err -----
and I get this output

At least I can't see anything that seems wrong here... So I try glxgears using this script
----- #!/bin/sh export MACH64_DEBUG=all export MACH64_NO_IRQS=1 export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 export LIBGL_SOFTWARE_RENDERING=1 export LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH=1
glxgears > glxgears.out 2> glxgears.err -----
It runs nicely, and says 411 frames in 5.0 seconds = 82.200 FPS
Wow! That's faster than with the stock ati driver that came with fc1. But I want direct rendering, so I try again with
----- #!/bin/sh export MACH64_DEBUG=all export MACH64_NO_IRQS=1 export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose #export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 #export LIBGL_SOFTWARE_RENDERING=1 export LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH=1
glxgears > glxgears.out 2> glxgears.err -----
I can see the window open, and then I get a mostly black screen with pulsating white lines. No reaction to anything on the keyboard.
After a reboot I find:
glxgears.out is empty
glxgears.err is quite large (almost a MB), so the application seems to be running.
Here is the beginning and the end of the file.

There are no error messages in /var/log/messages or XFree86.0.log
Should I upgrade my whole X installation? Fedora comes with a 4.3.0 installation.
Another funny side effect: I use a pcmcia wlan card. With the stock xfree86 ati driver, the wlan card would usually disconnect from the net when X started or when I switched to/from X. After these upgrades the link comes up at boot and stays up.
