Mageia forum

My current machine configuration is:

Acer Aspire E15 codenamed E5-551-T1MK Featuring:

AMD A10-7300 with turbo core 1.9ghz to 3.2ghz
AMD Radeon R6 integrated in the Apu
8GB Ram + 1000GB HDD

the problem with this device is i have no access to 3D/openGL features on this graphics card it works basic display functions however i want to use steam and compiz effects

I have no idea on what went wrong with installation that has blocked me from using 3D effects and games on this laptop any help would be welcome even a link to a tutorial is appreciated

sorry for no so much detail but i am at a loss on what happened here

thank you in advance for any help on the matter

Do you know if you are using the oss driver or proprietary driver ?

post the output of this please if not sure via the console

Code: Select all

rpm -qa |  grep fglrx

or this if that returns nothing

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep vendor

If you are using fglrx please post the output of this

Code: Select all

fglrxinfo

To make sure direct rendering is enabled post output of this please

Code: Select all

glxinfo | head -n10

Just to point out Mageia 5 is out of beta
https://www.mageia.org/downloads/

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log
lspcidrake -v | grep VGA

open source driver as the proprietary fails to load for some reason, will upgrade first and work from there

thank you guys for giving me a check-list to work through will update as time allows

here are the outputs for the commands you guys gave me:

grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log

thank you guys so far for the help is there anything else i need to check? or install?

Your grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log output shows something completely different (rpm -qa | grep fglrx) and the glxinfo output is not necessary as you do use fglrx.
Please add the output of grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log
edit doktor5000:
And please add the output of

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cmdline
uname -a

FWIW, you haven't actually commented if this is still with Mageia 5 beta3 or with final Mageia 5.
