ATI Mobility Radeon X 1700 Драйверы!

[Sato]

Всем привет! Может кто сталкивался подскажите плиз.
Ноутбук Asus F3J видюшка ATI Mobility Radeon X 1700. Sabayon не определяет её. Причем KDE вообще не запускается, а в GNOME всё подтормаживает. в XBMC всё жутко тормозит... даже мыша.
Нашёл инструкцию. HOWTO: Get Ati or Nvidia Video Cards working in Sabayon
http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title ... in_Sabayon

Делал всё по шагам но на шестом пункте возникли проблемы
6. Load the ATI module and change configuration by typing (still in a root shell) modprobe fglrx && eselect opengl set ati
FATAL: Could not read '/lib/modules/2.6.38-sabayon/video/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory
Как можно заставить ATI работать? Может есть другие способы?
Заранее Спасибо.

If you have installed linux-sabayon-2.6.38-r1, do you have the corresponding kernel sources package (sabayon-sources-2.6.38-r1) installed?:

Code: Select all

# equo install sabayon-sources-2.6.38-r1
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-2.6.37-sabayon *
  [2]   linux-2.6.38-sabayon
# eselect kernel set linux-2.6.38-sabayon

However that will not solve the problem because AMD dropped FGLRX driver support for your model of GPU in 2009. The last version of the closed-source AMD Catalyst driver for Linux that supported your GPU was 9.3, and that driver is no longer supported. I think version 9.3 does not work with the latest kernel versions, for that matter. The AMD Catalyst driver is also known as "the fglrx driver" and the package name is ati-drivers. You need to ditch the ati-drivers package and install the open-source Radeon driver (the package name for that is xf86-video-ati), confusingly also known as "the ati driver".

Don't reboot until you have finished the whole process.

First you need to uninstall ati-drivers. Perform the following steps as root user in a Terminal/Konsole window:

Code: Select all

# equo search ati-drivers

to find which version(s) of the ati-drivers package you have currently got installed. Then use the equo remove command to remove them one by one. For example:

Code: Select all

# equo remove ati-drivers-11.2-r1#2.6.36-sabayon

[BTW, notice the "#2.6.38-sabayon" at the end of the Entropy ati-drivers package? That means that that specific binary package was built to work with, and only with, the 2.6.38-sabayon kernel. Similarly, the package x11-drivers/ati-drivers-11.2-r1#2.6.37-sabayon must be used only with the 2.6.37-sabayon kernel. And so on.]

Next, check if you have the open-source driver installed:

Code: Select all

# equo search xf86-video-ati

If you do not, install it:

Code: Select all

# equo install xf86-video-ati

Just to be on the safe side, make sure all your config files are up to date:

Code: Select all

# equo conf update

Then use your favourite text editor to edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure the Driver line in Section "Device" specifies the open-source driver, not the fglrx driver. If it still has:

Code: Select all

Driver      "fglrx"

then change it to:

Code: Select all

Driver      "ati"

If you don't know how to edit a file as the root user, use the nano editor, which is easy enough to fathom:

Code: Select all

# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Now you must make sure that the correct OpenGL module is selected. To do this, use the eselect command to see what it is currently set to:

Code: Select all

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   ati *
  [2]   xorg-x11
#

and then make sure you link to the open-source OpenGL libraries:

Code: Select all

# eselect opengl set xorg-x11

So you should end up like this:

Code: Select all

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   ati
  [2]   xorg-x11 *
#

Then reboot.

Many Thank's for your help... And for the detailed instruction...
All has made as you have written, but XBMC center also very slowly works.
My xorg.conf

Section "Device"

Identifier "SabayonVga0"
Driver "ati"
#BusID "PCI:01:00"
#Option "RenderAccel" "on"
#Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
#Option "BusType" "PCI"
#Option "ColorTiling" "on"
#Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
Option "UseEvents" "True"
Option "LogoPath" "/usr/share/backgrounds/sabayonlinux-nvidia.png"

Anywhere problems has not arisen, and any ati-drivers don't install. But when i type

eselect opengl list

I have

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] xorg-x11 *

Not

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] ati
[2] xorg-x11 *
#

May be the problem of poor work XBMC not because of the graphics card?
Thanks for your advice, Sorry for my English.

But when i type

Code: Select all

eselect opengl list

I have

Code: Select all

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   ati
  [2]   xorg-x11 *
#

The above is OK. You have the link to the OpenGL library set up correctly. The "[1] ati" refers to the closed-source FGLRX driver, which does not support your GPU, so there is no problem. The important thing is that you have the asterisk next to the "xorg-x11".

May be the problem of poor work XBMC not because of the graphics card?

It could be. I do not know if it will help, but try the following xorg.conf file:

Code: Select all

Section "Module"
  SubSection  "extmod"
     Option "omit xfree86-dga"
  EndSubSection
  Load "i2c"
  Load "ddc"
  Load "vbe"
  Load "dri"
  Load "glx"
  Load "synaptics"   
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "AllowMouseOpenFail""true"
EndSection   

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "Generic Monitor"
  VertRefresh 43 - 60
  HorizSync 28 - 80
EndSection

You should also disable, if it is set, VDPAU (because VDPAU is for NVIDIA GPUs only) in XBMC's Video Settings menu and try GLSL or Software rendering. Another thing you could try is disabling vertical sync in XBMC Video Settings, and try changing some of the other settings in XBMC Video Settings.

Be sure to remove the closed source ati drivers and to load the radeon kernel module!

Thanks, but unfortunately it did not help, XBMC still does not want to work properly.

[Sato]

Tried to go on the other hand...
Installed VM Virtual Box and Installed PCLinuxOS... Then has tried to start XBMC...
The result was the same... XBMC does not want to work with ATI.
I will try to find help on http://forum.xbmc.org/
Thank's for your time
