| == Getting 3D for your ATI Radeon card in LFS [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/] ==
| | Help, I've been informed and I can't become ignoanrt. |
| | |
| 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!
