| − | == Getting 3D for your ATI Radeon card in LFS [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/] ==
| + | Wow! Great thikinng! JK |
| − | | + | |
| − | Used here
| + | |
| − | * Kernel 2.6.15 (with agp and DRM configured)
| + | |
| − | * Fresh LFS install
| + | |
| − | * Xorg 6.8.2 (By BLFS)
| + | |
| − | * Driver (proprietary fglrx 8.20.8)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Probably not needed (and might even interfere!) Please verify and edit if possible.
| + | |
| − | * Mesa-6.4.1 (leftovers after failed attempt at installing r300_dri)

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After browsing ATI's homepage for drivers I decided to use the installer-package, as I didn't have any easy way to convert rpms into tarballs.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you decide to use the installer provided by ATI, make sure you don't have any libGL.so.* lying around in /usr/X11R6/lib before running the installer binary. It appears to rename installed files rather than overwriting old. Move any existing just to be safe:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <code>
| + | |
| − | mkdir /root/old_libGL <br>
| + | |
| − | mv /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* /root/old_libGL
| + | |
| − | </code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Run the installer, it does some checks and then opens a graphical point-and-clickety install window. Follow instructions and install the correct driver. Maybe it works now already? Never has for me, so I'll continue..
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After the installer exits you should have a directory /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
| + | |
| − | with a script "make.sh" to re-build the fglrx driver. Now for kernel 2.6.15 with fglrx 8.20.8 you'll need to apply a patch for avoiding errors of:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page
| + | |
| − | I pathched manually, since all you need to do is change line 2624 in firegl_public.c to
| + | |
| − | #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= 0x02060f
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If the script complains about not being run from a real console, you could try to hack it a bit to go on anyway.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <code>
| + | |
| − | cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod <br>
| + | |
| − | vi make.sh
| + | |
| − | </code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | search for:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | if [ $? -ne 0 ];
| + | |
| − | then
| + | |
| − | echo "You arent running in a 'login shell'."
| + | |
| − | echo "Please login directly from a console"
| + | |
| − | echo "or use 'su -l' to get the same result."
| + | |
| − | exit 1
| + | |
| − | fi
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | and delete the line with 'exit 1' to get past that annoyance. Run it to build the modules. Then change to the parent directory and run "make_install.sh", hack as needed. This installs the kernel module and it's conterpart in /lib/X11R6/modules/
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Finally, when all of this is done, you might need an old version of libstdc++
| + | |
| − | check it by typing:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [shell]$ ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so
| + | |
| − | libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x408a5000)
| + | |
| − | libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x408c7000)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Since I had only version 6 on my system I also installed version 5 to make fglrx happy.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Alternatively, setting LIBGL_DEBUG might also reveal old libstdc++ dependencies.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | run fglrxconfig, answer a lot of questions, start X and pray.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Good luck!
