Radeon 9000 IGP Graphics Card + 3D heylp!

[Hate]

Got one of these in my laptop, and would like to get hardware 3d support so I can play WoW over wine!

I've tried the ATI drivers off the site and had a look at the DRI project, but none seem to work!

here is my fglrxinfo

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

and my lspci

0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 583                           5

and some lsmod action

fglrx                 439168  7
agpgart                34792  2 fglrx,ati_agp

When i try and run the DRI installer for the R200 chipsets i get the following...

Installing files:
        DRI XFree86 modules...done
        kernel modules...done
        Copying extra files...done

Updating configuration:
        Removing old kernel module "radeon"...done
        Inserting new kernel module "radeon"...ERROR

and the log shows

WARNING: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot allocate memory
FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

and dmesg reveals

so, any ideas?

Hiya,
I've got a Mobility Radeon 9000 working fine in my lappy (Ubuntu 5.10). If you installed the drivers from the ATI site, you should be using the fglrx module, not the radeon module.
My first thought is an incorrect xorg.conf- Did you use fglrxconfig to generate the file?
Second, important point though- There must be no other radeon related modules in memory when attempting to load one of these. This means that you should reboot after generating the xorg.cof file.
Finally, what kernel & xorg versions?

Cheers

yeah, the 2d works fine, i want 3d acceleration that the ATI drivers do not support.

i edited the xorg, it wasn't generated

 

[leezer3]

Right, that's almost certainly your problem. I would let fglrxconfig generate your xorg.conf file if something isn't working
The ATI drivers most emphatically do support 3D acceleration, I've no idea where you read that they don't

turns out my card is a 9100 after all...

trust me, i've tried lots of different ways of doing things - generating, editing, new kernels...
and you can put those rolleyes and bold text away - ati state on their site that they don't support 3D for the 9100 IGP, AND the opengl file is named 9X00_no_hardware_support.so

Caution: This software driver provides 2D support only for the ATI Radeon® 9100 IGP and ATI Radeon® 9100 PRO IGP.

My mistake
Trouble is you confused me saying that it was a 9000 in your thread title- Mine works fine in 3d!
(The rolleyes wasn't directed at you directly, but rather at the wealth of incorrect info that tends to be out there)

From a quick poke around, your DMESG appears to suggest that you need to try the other gart module, maybe try the external one, and compile a kernel with no gart module whatsoever?

ATI don't like onboard graphics users to have 3D accel (9000 has 3D Accel since it's an AGP card, 9000 IGP is an onboard solution). I had the same issue with my spare machine with the 9100 IGP chip.

Since it seems like the ATI linux drivers from their site don't provide 3D, you'd probably be best using Ati option within Xorg. Although the ATI driver from their site should work, if it's causing issues then I'd fall back to the driver included with Xorg.
