Re: ATI 3D acceleleration and dpkg-divert
Hi! Just for closing this thread. I finally got 3d acceleration and OpenGL working well following the installation method from http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html. Celestia and Tuxracer are running smooth. Thanks to everybody Nico Nicolas de Sereville wrote: Hi! A big thanks to everybody who spare some time helping me. I now have the 3D acceleration working!

As suggested by Wim, when removing my previous installation, the "dpkg --purge fglrx" command left some files that I did not erased, so I had a mix within new and old files.

The /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.distrib should be the backup file created by dpkg-divert, if it's not present on that path i think your dpkg status isn't consistent with your system (at least a missing file, i suspect the --force-overwrite you stated at the beginning of this thread =).

Try compiling agpgart as a module for your kernel (or if you have done that already that would be even better), make sure the fglrx module isn't loaded and load the appropiate agpgart module. Don't forget to edit the X config on this point! Then start X and see if it can connect to it. At least, that's what I would do. greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[install stuff...] Are you sure the user you're running fglrxinfo with has access to opengl (eg member of group video) and that you have the ATI kernel module installed? Running the "groups" command shows that the user belongs to the video group. Also, the fglrx module is loaded (I can see it with lsmod). I think my problem is more related to the instalation procedure and the use of dpkg-divert since I managed to have 3d acceleration with the former version of the xserver but overwriting the libGL library. Sounds good, but just to be sure check your xfree startup log. I had this fail a while back because of AGP support problems. I can't help you much with dpkg-divert, but as I recall from trying to change things myself the manpages aren't very helpfull and I'm doubtfull if they are correct. Well, looking at the logs from XFree86.0.log, I can see the following: ... ... (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx (II) fglrx(0): Version: 3.9.0 (II) fglrx(0): Date: May 11 2004 (II) fglrx(0): Desc: ATI Fire GL DRM kernel module (WW) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version does *not* match driver. (EE) fglrx(0): incompatible kernel module detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work (II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xe0912000 at 0x4024f000 (WW) fglrx(0): *** (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) * (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available* (WW) fglrx(0): * * ... ... which doesn't sound good. I just installed the driver from the ATI webpage (after running the alien command). Maybe a problem when compiling the driver, but I took care using the same version of gcc (2.95) that I used for compiling my kernel.

If yes, how can I do it? > FWIK dpkg-divert it's used when two packages want to install both a file with the same path, or to avoid that dpkg will overwrite that file when installing a package. So to reply to your question, you can only have one version of a file and dpkg-divert will preserve it when you install a newer package which contains that file. You choose which to use with dpkg-divert, but you should look to the man page cause i've seldom, if never, used it. Hope this was enough clear.

ATI 3D acceleleration and dpkg-divert
Hi list, I have an Ati 9600XT graphical card and I want to get 3D acceleration with the propriatary drivers (fglrx). I am using debian Sid with the last xserver version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-7). Following the "ATI Radeon Linux How-To", I managed to get the 3D acceleration with the previous xserver version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-6) but overwriting the MESA libGL library with the ATI one, through a "dpkg --force-overwrite -i fglrx.deb". Everything worked well but I had a lot of troubles upgrading the xserver due to the libGL library. So I decided to make use of "dpkg-divert" as suggested on this web page (http://g-tec.co.at/ati_alt.html): dpkg-divert --package fglrx --add /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 dpkg -i fglrx_4.3.0-4.12_i386.deb Everything went well (no complain about the libGL library) but when running "fglrxinfo", I obtain the following output showing that I am not using the ATI libGL library: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4 So my question is (sorry for the long introduction): is there a way, using dpkg-divert, to specify which libGL library should be used (the ATI one) in order to have the 3D acceleration working?
