Hi Alex and all else,
I just wanted to post a summary of the rest of my experience regarding
the DRI stuff.
I installed the aforementioned rpm, ran the fglrxconfig program that
it comes with, and answered all the questions. There were a few
questions I wasn't sure about but I used my best judgement. Since
there was a module (fglrx) that needed to be loaded, I rebooted to see
if it normally gets loaded at boot time or if the X server loads it
(the latter) and also for posterity.
I ran startx and the fonts did seem a bit different than before (not
much...just smaller I guess). All the DRI errors went away and
glxgears ran like a champ but fgl_glxgears produced the following
errors:
FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Function not implemented)
__FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!!
I did a little research on usenet and someone pointed to an article on
ATI's website. Unfortunately, ATI reorg'd their entire support site
(I liked it better before) so it took a little more effort to find
knowledge base article #737-160 which basically said to enable shared
memory by adding the following line to fstab:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
and run "mount tmpfs". After that, fgl_glxgears ran like a champ.
The only other issue (which was the original reason this all started)
was getting the Quicktime plugin in Crossover Office to work. That
started producing strange behavior. During installation or usage of
the plug-in, the screen would blank and I would have to switch to
another virtual terminal and back to F7. Everytime the screen
blanked, I saw the following error in the X logs:
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 84960
GetModeLine - hdsp: 1400 hbeg: 1472 hend: 1512 httl: 1600
vdsp: 1050 vbeg: 1052 vend: 1053 vttl: 1062 flags: -2147483648
I got the plugin to work except for the sound. During my research, I
found that mplayer now had a plugin module so I found it much easier
to get that to work (and it's preferred since it's a native binary).
I got it to work with Mozilla and Firefox and soon to be Opera after I
work out the library issues.
Hopefully, this will be useful to anyone else who may have a similar
issue. Thanks again Alex!
