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 when you run fgl_glxgears, 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 />

==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 />
