I am using the properiety ati drivers. When I installed them everything worked fine. Now it tells me Error: couldn't get fbconfig when I try to run fgl_glxgears and all opengl things barely crawl. What is the problem? Thanks Mike psychomohel(a)comcast.net

How does the ati driver interact with the Mesa GL stuff? With nVidia if the wrong library was found things break or go so slow you think they are broken. I would suggest a revisit of the ati install process. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

I have fixed the problem. It happened during an update when Mesa GL was updated. It overwrote the libGL provided by ati. All it took was to reinstall the drivers and reboot ( dont know why that helped ) Mike Tom 'Needs A Hat' Mitchell wrote:

Which is exactly why you should delete the Mesa RPMs before installing the ATI drivers. There's probably a lot of stuff depending on Mesa (i.e. OpenGL), so use the --nodeps flag. (after installing the ATI drivers the dependencies will be satisfied again). This way you won't install any Mesa updates, and avoid overwriting ATI's OpenGL libraries. -- Tarjei
