x1900xtx no 2d acceleration

Postby Hydrotaoist » Wed Sep 05, 2007 5:48

Scrolling with my browser or games that are 2d such as wesnoth are very laggy. Yet games like doom3 and such run at 60-70fps.

So I'm assuming I have no 2d acceleration. I have searched the web for hours now and haven't gotten a answer yet so you guys are my last hope.

system are as follows
Amd64
ati x1900xtx 512vm PCIe
512 ram (I'm short on memory till I get it refunded.)

Here is my xorg.conf any other info you need just ask.

I knoticed this "Identifier "VESA" so I was thinking this was the problem But when compared to others I have seen on the net with this distro it SEEMs normal.

***EDIT*** I also added that my card is PCIe yet it says on the Xorg that it is PCI. Is this normal?

Thnx for the help.

In 3.4E the sdl and opengl was not added to /etc/make.conf under the USE=" " part and this could cause laggy 2d / 3d etc.

The Vesa part you mentioned should be ati and configuring it should be done using ati-controll panel.

You can try and "emerge ati-drivers" or similar use "emerge -s ati" to get correct name to be used.
Or using portato / kuroo depending on which version of Sabayon you have to update the ati drivers , doing this should correct any funky driver configs and do this after checking for sdl and opengl in /etc/make.conf .

Someone else that has this card or siumilar will post with correct info to get this fixed , also check this wiki on top of the page for ati config / install / update info.

Hope this gets you started.
