Is sgfxi available with mageia

[michel]

I have downloaded the PDF documentation for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD4500. The document lists the following dependencies that are needed for the driver to work:

The following packages must be installed in order for the ATI Catalyst™ Linux driver to
install and work properly:
- XFree86-Mesa-libGL
- libstdc++
- libgcc
- XFree86-libs
- fontconfig

I checked if the above were installed or available in the repos and I found out that neither XFree86-Mesa-libGL nor XFree86-libs were available or installed.

Any ideas?

Just installed sweethome3d to have a look on mine, using the cat driver also.
seems to run fine.
If i run

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status atieventsd.service
atieventsd.service
          Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
          Active: inactive (dead)

[root@localhost ~]

Dont use that i guess!

Seem to be using the same java package also

Code: Select all

update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide `java'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+    1        /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
      2        /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java

Enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:


Only thing i can see is am using the newer Cat drivers. Try the new drivers, ya never know

Pete

Edit: just thought, think the 4xxx series arn't supported by them any more. But not sure on that

[michel]

What new drivers and where do you get them?

Thanks,

Michel

Do you have other 3d programs or games from the repositories which work without problems, or other java programs?

[pete910]

Was right about the driver it seems, last onr for the 4xxx is Cat 12.6 http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx
Don't know if that's what's in the repos all ready.

Think its a java problem my self and not driver related.

This is what java packages i have in.

Code: Select all

[michel]

No. I beleive sweethome3D is the only 3D program I have on the system. Could you recommend a 3D game to install for testing. I will do that as soon as I am able to boot back into my system!!!!!

Thanks,

Michel

Chromium B.S.U. (package name is chromium, not to be mistaken with the browser) would be a good candidate, or try one from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3222
