Re: ATI DRI Config

Hopefully this is the right group to post this question.

In order to properly configure DRI to on I have been using this
excellent guide.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Radeon_%26_Kernel_2.6#Configuration
[snip]
LIBGL_DEGUB did indeed return the above error. The guide says to run
hwdetect --show-agp. This command dosn't work on my system and I can't
seem to find the hwdetect package. Also, I have tried to locate
rc.conf in order to see what modules are loading without success.

The linux distribution is Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Any help pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

First off, why are you following instructions from the Arch Linux site when you're running Ubuntu? Differences between the two distros are bound to confuse you (e.g., Ubuntu doesn't seem to have hwdetect or rc.conf).

You haven't told us anything about your hardware. What graphics card? Is it AGP or PCI Express? What's the chipset on your motherboard? (Use 'lspci | grep -i agp' to find out, if this is an AGP card you're trying to configure.)

You also have said anything about the software you're using. Not everyone here knows off hand what kernel comes with each distro, so what kernel version are you using? ('uname -a' will show it.) What about the ATI drivers? Did they come with Ubuntu or did you download them from ATI?
