Testing


To make sure you are running the ATI drivers in 3D and not MESA run this command in the console in X.

   glxinfo

It should read like this:

Notice how it says:

  OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
  OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X850 PRO Generic
  OpenGL version string: 2.0.6286 (8.33.6)

And not:

  OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
  OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
  OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)

That is the proof that you are running in 3D mode.

If your OpenGL vendor string read: Mesa project... Follow the Troubleshooting steps. If you however, did get ATI in the string, there are some more tests for you below.

Another command to check is:

   fglrxinfo

To test 3D run:

   fgl_glxgears

Here are the results of my test:

   quiksilver:~> fgl_glxgears
   Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
   4217 frames in 6.0 seconds = 702.833 FPS
   4465 frames in 5.0 seconds = 893.000 FPS
   4705 frames in 5.0 seconds = 941.000 FPS
   5775 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1155.000 FPS
   6706 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1341.200 FPS
   6443 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1288.600 FPS
   7914 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1582.800 FPS
   6078 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1215.600 FPS
   6561 frames in 6.0 seconds = 1093.500 FPS

Congratulations you have now installed the drivers and are running in 3D! Follow the Troubleshooting steps below if you have not succeeded.

With the latest drivers from ATI (8.42.3 of November 21st, 2007) fgl_glxgears will not work initially. The reason for this stems from the fact that there are two versions of libGL.so.1.2 installed, one from fglrx that goes to /usr/X11R6/lib and one from Mesa that resides in /usr/lib. This problem can be solved as follows: Switch to runlevel 3 (init 3), move to /usr/lib, delete libGL.so.1.2 (only this one!) and create a softlink to the library from fglrx: ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2. After that, fgl_glxgears should work.
