Hello, I''ve been trying to set up my Radeon 9700 Pro under SuSE 9. I''ve installed ATI''s FireGL drivers, but when I configure them for 3D acceleration, X refuses to start up - or rather, it does start up, but only shows a blank screen, freezing the computer. It looks like there''s a problem with accessing the AGP - X loads up fine (albeit only in 2D) if I tell fgl not to use its own AGPGART, and I don''t load the kernel''s. Here is the last few lines of XFree86.0.log: (II) fglrx(0): [drm] loaded kernel module for "fglrx" driver (II) fglrx(0): [drm] created "fglrx" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xe0a60000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xe0a60000 to 0x402ab000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xc0000000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit done (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx (II) fglrx(0): Version: 3.7.0 (II) fglrx(0): Date: Dec 18 2003 (II) fglrx(0): Desc: ATI Fire GL DRM kernel module (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version matches driver.

PS. 3D acceleration works fine on Windows, and yes, the kernel module is installed.

Do you have the proper AGP controler device driver compiled into your kernel?

Run dmesg | grep -iA4 agp and post the result here.
