Did anyone manage to get 3D acceleration working with the ATI binary drivers for the Radeon 9500pro on an nForce based motherboard? The fglrx driver works fine for me but in the XFree logs I get the following message:
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENOMEM"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
This is with the built-in agpgart. If I use the ncforce agpgart driver in the kernel starting XFree will result in a black screen and then XFree just terminates.
Was anyone able to get this hw combination going? (I'm using RH9 btw)
hmm, recompiling XFree using
hmm, recompiling XFree using your 2.6.x kernel headers could help here.
I'm having the same problems
I'm having the same problems with a EPoX 8RDA3+ (nForce2), ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and linux-2.6.0-test11 on gentoo.
I recompiled both xfree and ati-drivers after installing 2.6.0-test11, but I still get this:
This is using internal AGP. When using external AGP (via agpgart) I get "xf86_ENODEV" instead of ENOMEM...
you probably forgot to compil
you probably forgot to compile and/or install the nvidia-agp module, that should solve THAT problem, but creates (at least for me) another:

Same problem
I have MCS KT4V, Radeon 9200LE and I have same problem like you.
But i dont know, what to do.
KT4V AGP 8x & ATI Radeon
I have a MSI KT4v motherboard and an ATI Radeon 9600 pro and i have the same problem with agpgart module.
When i try this graphic card on my other motherboard Elite sis 735, there is no problem: i have the 3D acceleration and the agpagart module is loaded. So it's a motherboard KT4V problem and not an ATI driver problem. I search after MSI KT4V (ms 6712) motherboard linux driver, but i don't find it.
If somebody knows!
morel.fabrice1@tiscali.fr
oops
It easy to remove this Oops.
Try edit firegl_public.c, find function _ke_amd_adv_spec_cache_feature .... In this function, comment all what is in her body and write only one line: "return 0". This is safe, because this function is used only on kernel < 2.4.18.
Than recompile driver fglrx.
This helps me boot in GUI with 3Dacceleration on kernel 2.6, no Oops no errors.
I hope, that I help you.
Thanks!
Here's another guy you made happy with this post. :-))))
Thanks alot!

i loaded agpgart without errors
i loaded nvidia-agp without errors (that's what fixes the "failed to acquire AGP", i first forgot it, but creates the error above)
and i set UseInternalAGP to NO
AND i recompiled fglrx drivers with the fix in that .c file
Fix
Did you fix it good ?
There is still error in function __ke_adm_adv_spec_cache .....
I think, that problem is still in this function, you must comment it all and add only one line, with text return 0. And I have UseInternalAGP set to yes. But i must fix another line of fglrx source, to get work with my KT4V.
yes i fixed it all and i trie
yes i fixed it all and i tried both, internal and external
but it doesn't work
i now found another guy with that problem
we both use powered by ati cards, could that be any reason?
probably wrong directory?
did you fix the code within the 2.6.x directory (/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x)? Only fixing the file there and recompiling worked fine for me with a 9600.
many thanks for the hint,
Stefan Schmidt
excellent!
That fixed my problem with my radeon 9700pro and epox mainbord.
Thanks :)
Another Version
Here are the Steps how I got the accelerated driver working
on a nforce2 mainboard and debian with an ATI Radeon 9800 pro
Step #1 Install Kernel source
The common choices are between a 2.4.x and 2.6.x
Version 2.4.x has AGP 4X support only.
Version 2.6.x has AGP 4x and 8X support.
Version 2.4.x
Options that have to be selected:
*agpgart
*direct rendering manager (drm)
These options are available in newer 2.4.x
Kernels like 2.4.25
Version 2.6.x
Options that have to be selected:
*agpgart
*nforce2 chipset support
*direct rendering manager (drm)
but NOT!! ATI Radeon (below drm)
(maybe I2C support for nforce2 too)
these options doesn`t need to be modules.
Afterwards compile everything and reboot
with the new kernel version.
Step #2 Install xserver and dri
here can be downloaded e.g.
xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk_2002.12.05-4_i386.deb
from
http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/
install with
dpkg -i --force-overwrite xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk_2002.12.05-4_i386.deb
Step #3
download the ati driver depending to your
xserver version (1,2 or 3) and
convert the driver from rpm to deb by using
command alien.
alien
dpkg -i --force-overwrite driverfilename.deb
Step #4
Then change to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
and edit firegl_public.c .Insert
return 0;
after
int __ke_amd_adv_spec_cache_feature(void)
{
Then compile the module by the make.sh script.
afterwards change to /lib/modules/fglrx/ and run
make_install.sh.
Step #5
run fglrxconfig to generate the XF86Config file.
(the original should be backuped before)
Step #6
load the fglrx module by hand, then run X
Step #7
fglrxinfo should print somthing like
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9800 Pro
Ah I think you can help me...!!
Hi, I would love if you´d repeat the steps about making nForce 2 and Radeon 9800 PRO, work together...! But in english heh.. I didn´t get half of the stuff you wrote, so I would be very thankful if you could please repeat it, so that even a girl can understand it...??
/Hugs Jen
You need to add this option
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
EndSection
Another way...?
Hopefully this might work for you. In my NForce2 Bios I can disable the AGP memory size(the size the agp-bus shares with the OS). If you just disable it, maybe that helps.
b.t.w.: Are you guys satisfied with your nForce2s so far?
I am not! Mine is in repair for the 2nd time already.. (First onboard graphics didn't work, then lan controller had hw id: 12345678ABCDEF (or something like that)
another b.t.w.: On my Old via board another nvidia card runs perfectly with 2.6 and the nvidia driver, on the nforce it always shows me errors in pci_find_... kernel function.
Hope some of this was of help to you!
Re: You need to add this option
Does not help here. fglrx 3.7.0, kernel 2.6.1-rc1-mm1, Radeon 9600 board, nforce2 chipset (Epox 8rda3+).
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENOMEM"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
same problem
agpgart: Detected Via Apollo KT400 chipset
fglrx detect correctly agp and then hang on...(black screen)
and then nothing...
disabling dri correct but only 2d acceleration...
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
because UseinternalAGPGART does not work with my chipset (unable to initialise AGP)
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENOMEM"
i need help...
thanks
this may help
I have kt400 too. I try internal AGPGART, problem that it dont work is easy to repair. In /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod find a file named
agpgart_be.c . In that file, you may find (about 6000 line) :
{ PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8377_0,
PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA,
VIA_APOLLO_KT400,
"Via",
"Apollo KT400",
via_generic_setup }, // AGP v2
So replace via_generic_setup with via_kt400_setup.
Run ./make.sh then ../make_install.sh
Then you should be able to use internal AGPGART.
It works for me, but only with 2.4 kernel. In 2.6 kernel this will still blank screen.
I need help too :-)
