[compiz] Bewildered by Radeon x1650 Card - No Compiz, Blank glxgears, good frame rates?
Listmates, No response from the suse list, so I am trying here. I bought a new HIS Radeon x1650 card for my daughter's computer, and I cannot get the card to work with compiz. I thought I knew the fglrx driver pretty well, but I am stumped here. The card has 512M of Ram and sits in the AGP slot of an MSI KM2M board running openSuSE 11.0/KDE 3.59 and compiz-0.7.6-16.1. All bios setting are correct. The 1650 replaced a 9600 card in the same box so the Catalyst 8-8 driver was already installed and compiz and mplayer had been working fine. After installing the x1650 card, kde runs fine, but glxgears is blank (no gears, just a black window, but good frame rates in the console). The same blank window occurs with mplayer and with compiz, the entire display goes blank (no screenshot of that): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/ati/x1650_err/no_glxgears.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/ati/x1650_err/no_mplayer.jpg I have done just about everything I can think of with xorg.conf and I updated /etc/ati/amdpcsdb with the changes (aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf) trying tls on/off (--tls=1)(--tls=0) and I have tried removing all xorg.conf "Device" section "Options" and adding them back one at a time (restarting x in between) but still I get blank glxgears, mplayer and compiz is blank as well. I have tried with and without the Extensions enabled (composite and damage) and with and without AIGLX enabled. No change. When I say compiz is blank, I mean I'll start compiz and then the entire screen goes blank/black. Typing in the blind (alt+f2 'kwin --replace &' tab tab return) restores kwin without a problem showing that compiz was running. I cannot find anything wrong with my config, but I cannot explain the blank compiz, glxgears or mplayer. The complete config and log details are: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/ati/x1650_err/xorg.conf http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/ati/x1650_err/amdpcsdb http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/ati/x1650_err/Xorg.0.log http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/ati/x1650_err/glxinfo.out This has got to be a configuration problem, doesn't it? I thought I knew this stuff. Could this be hardware? Seems unlikely because the box is dual-boot with XP and everything seems fine with the XP Catalyst 8-8 driver. Anyway, I'm stuck and I thought I would turn to you guys hoping to find a perl of wisdom to get me unstuck. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
