<div>It should be noted that the "resolution bug" also affects 1400x1050 on the 4:3-models. Highest res I can use with 7.12 is 1280x1024 on my T60p.<br />

What is it? Maybe someone can clarify it on the page.</div>91.4.233.171http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php?title=Performance_Issues&diff=3629Performance Issues2007-12-24T10:23:36Z<p>91.4.233.171: /* 2D */</p>
<hr />
<div>The '''fglrx''' driver is not known for its speedy 2D or 3D performance, but there are ways to improve it.<br />
<br />
==2D==<br />
If you suffer from slow 2D speed it might help to set<br />
<br />
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"<br />
<br />
in the fglrx device section of ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf''.<br />
<br />
This might as well help the pixel errors in the lower right corner that occur on some machines.<br />
<br />
==3D==<br />
If you plan to run Wine, you will need to tell fglrx to not corrupt the fs register.<br />
To do this, add the line:<br />
<pre><br />
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"<br />
</pre><br />
to the "Device" section in ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf''. This supposedly causes about a 10% hit in opengl benchmark scores, but at least things don't crash.

== Wiki name ==<br />
<br />
"Unofficial ATI Linux Driver Wiki" is a very ambiguous and confusing title for<br />
this page - it sounds like a wiki for an unofficial ATI Linux driver, but in<br />
fact is an unofficial Wiki for Ati's proprietory Linux driver. "ATI Linux Driver,<br />
unofficial Wiki" would be a rather clearer title. Othe3rwise, people looking for<br />
info on the fully open source driver for ATI video cards would think this was a<br />
good place to start looking. A.E.R.Waddington, UK.<br />
: I have edited the title to be more appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion. [[User:Mooninite|Mooninite]] 11:33, 4 December 2006 (CST)<br />
: Any chance that you could update the graphic / logo to reflect the less ambiguous name as well? [[User:Riaanvn|Riaanvn]] 00:13, 2 November 2007 (CDT)<br />

I made the new release page. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Catalyst_7.11<br />
<br />
== RedHat Enterprise -> Red Hat Enterprise Linux ==<br />
<br />
I mistakenly created an ugly double-redirect from RedHat Enterprise to Red Hat Enterprise (Since there should be a space in the company name), to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (since this is the official name of the Red Hat family of Linux products, and just calling it Red Hat Enterprise is somewhat of a "bastardization" (with all respect), even though I can understand that you guys want to try and avoid the proliferation of having "Linux" in every distribution name. '''Question''': will someone with edit permissions to the wiki home page please change RedHat Enterprise to Red Hat Enterprise Linux . Thank you very much. <br />

== Broken Link ==<br />
<br />
The link to the Bugzilla page is broken. It's the same link as on AMDs pages, by the way, so it might be Bugzillas fault. Just wanted to mention it.<br />

It is assumed that you have completed the [[Installation|installation process]].<br />
<br />
==Verify with ATI tools==<br />
If the installation has worked, then any 3D application should work without issue. A simple way to verify without any possibility of failure is to verify the following occurs. Please note that you may have needed to go through [[:Category:Distributions|distribution specific]] process to enable the 3D support. <br />
===fglrxinfo===<br />
<pre><br />
$ fglrxinfo<br />
display: :0.0 screen: 0<br />
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.<br />
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic<br />
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5804 (8.25.0)<br />
</pre><br />
===fgl_glxgears===<br />
You can also run the ATI provided application called fgl_glxgears which should show a spinning cube with the venerable glxgears running on each face.<br />
<br />
<b>If you run fgl_glxgears and the cube spins but is lacking any cogs on the faces, the faces being instead various shades of blue and/or you get an error message like:</b><br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer<br />
913 frames in 5.0 seconds = 182.600 FPS<br />
783 frames in 5.0 seconds = 156.600 FPS<br />
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)<br />
Major opcode of failed request: 14 (X_GetGeometry)<br />
Resource id in failed request: 0x0<br />
Serial number of failed request: 51<br />
Current serial number in output stream: 51<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<b>Then your installation most presumably failed!</b><br />

==Verify with Linux tools==<br />
===glxinfo===<br />
This command line option should report "direct" rendering.<br />
$ glxinfo | grep direct<br />
<br />
(For Debian 4.0, install the mesa-utils package to get glxinfo.)<br />
<br />
===Xorg.0.log===<br />
The X.org X server log file also contains useful information to verify installation was successful. It is located on most Linux distributions at <code>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</code> and can be opened by any text editor.<br />
