Hi all.
I've just got another card and it's a
128MB ATI Radeon 9200 SE. My
system is
RedHat 8, w/ XFree86 version 4.2.
Driver installation (fglrx-glc22-4.2.0) went on smooth, but I still can't get 3D
acceleration.
Code:
glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

For SuSE systems with XFree86 4 and higher the following might apply:
If you do spot warnings about wrong, incomplete or missing GLX support
when running any opengl related software (or the SuSE script 3Ddiag)
then you might be in need for doing what is described below.
SuSE is providing XFree86 3.3.6 for legacy hardware where drivers are
not yet ported to current XFree86. For this reason you might have a
look into the SuSE installation guide for OpenGL (chapter 6 on SuSE 7.3)
for a few more details on the subject.

In the readme.txt, they suggest to install an older XFree86 but RedHat 8 dropped
any older versions (?) and that workaround is especially tailored for SuSE
users.

Old GLX Library Files
If there is a glx library file other than libglx.a (for example a file
like libglx.so or similar) in directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions,
this might prevent the XServer from correctly accessing the glx library.
In this case move any other glx library files (except of libglx.a)
to a directory that is not part of the library search path.

I can't find the file
libglx.a anywhere on this system. Here's what I
have in the above dir:
total 964
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 18 02:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Sep 2 03:04 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40702 Sep 6 2002 libxtrap.a
Load "glx" and Load "dri" are already present in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
3. I'm also unable to launch the ATI control panel :
Details: Failed to execute child process
"/usr/X11R6/bin/fireglcontrol" (No such file or directory)
Any help greatly appreciated
