Now run fglrxconfig and create a configuration file. Copy all the other stuff that redhat-xfree86-config does so much nicer, and you're away laughing. Hopefully.
fgl_glxgears doesn't run on my machine (error: Error: couldn't get fbconfig) and I've love to know why. -- CraigBox
-Last night i rebuilt my kernel and compiled the fglrx ati drivers after the reboot agp didn't work.
I had
to install the agp module with agp_try_unsupported=1 before I got X
to work. Once this was done fgl_glxgears worked 100% running at 650 fps. But somehow i must have screwed something up, because after another boot I also got
the same
error as you (
Error: couldn't get fbconfig)
. If you somehow figured out what causes this can you please leave a comment here
so I can fix mine too

-Me again
. fbconfig is the utility
to configure framebuffer devices in linux
. So logically I think couldn
't get fbconfig means that there aren
't any framebuffer devices on our systems. I know I
've got framebuffer devices installed
in my kernel, but
I'm sure that with some tweaking there it's gonna come right. I'll test it tonight and let you know
. -- WillemSmit

I finally managed
to get this
to work:
the error '
Error: couldn't get fbconfig' occurs if the GL-libraries are incorrectl. The ATI proprietary driver overwrites the file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL
.so.1.2, so this is the library that should be used, and not mesa
- or nvidia
-versions of it
. All libGL.so* files should link
to this
. You can check the library dependencies with
'ldd
': for example
'ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/fgl_glxgears' gives the libraries used
in fgl_glxgears. Check this. It works for me now. Feel free to correct me if
I'm wrong
