can somebody help me please?

thx in advance

Well, more than likely your problem is not with XFree86 or OpenGL, but rather ATI's drivers. Could you post the contents of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file?

Hmm. Well from what I can tell, the usual suspects are configured correctly (loading "glx" and "dri", driver is "fglrx"). You might try setting the Use Internal AGPGART to "no". I seem to remember hearing that on an ATI forum once. Other than that, I'm going to hand off to someone with a little more ATI tweaking experience.

**robak** · 09-30-2004

i set Use Internal AGPGART to "no"
it doesn't help

i tried to emerge Xorg instead of Xfree and reinstalled the ati-drivers.
when i start fgl_glxgears i get this:

Code:

X Error of failed request&#58;  BadMatch &#40;invalid parameter attributes&#41;
  Major opcode of failed request&#58;  144 &#40;GLX&#41;
  Minor opcode of failed request&#58;  5 &#40;X_GLXMakeCurrent&#41;
  Serial number of failed request&#58;  31
  Current serial number in output stream&#58;  31

does it help you?

**blakegrover** · 03-05-2005

I am also getting the same message, I have 2.6.10, latest ati drivers, and have tried every how-to but nothing still.....

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 145 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
