Xorg.conf problems?

[aukword1]

hi, i'm having a lil bit of trouble with my graphics card. when i run HL2 in wine it runs at like 15 fps and i got a ati radeon 9600 all in wonder pro... in windows i get at least 90-100 usually...anyhow i used the cmd " grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and "grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it came up with this

can anyone help me and let me know if there is anything wrong with this config....also how can i edit this file...it says i dont have access to it when i try to save it..any help would be appreciated

[sdousley]

I read somewhere recently that HL2 doesn't play well on linux. You could try the output of the command "glxgears" to check the frame rates the card can handle. If this is reasonable, i'd say it's the game, if not, it doesn't rule out the possibility it's the game, but you may want to improve on that first.

In order to edit the xorg.conf file, you will need to either be logged in as root, or open an editor as root.

yea i get a decent framerate from glxgears around 140+ i guess thats okay...i think something is wrong with my memory or processor or something cause the memory seems to be always full...maybe i don't have dual channel configured properly i dunno...but it should be automatic right?

What utility is reporting your memory is full? Linux handles memory differently than MS Windows. In Windows, unused memory is left unused so you only see what your applications are actively taking advantage of, whereas in Linux unused memory is cached in case you need it later. This speeds up the process of allocating memory for applications, but the trade-off is that your system looks like it's using 98% of your RAM.

[aukword1]

with that being said, its not the memory...i installed cedega cause i was reading on the forums that cedega is better than wine for performance...during the setup it runs several tests on your hardware and my system passed everything except the 3d acceleration test so i'm pretty sure that my 3d accel isnt working properly...which makes sense as to why hl2 runs poorly but i have no idea how to config it to work properly seeing as how i'm pretty new to this...anyone got any ideas? btw my distro is suse 10.2...also when i use "sax2 -r" and run thetest on the confg... it just shows a blank screen and wont let me get out of it...anyone kno what this means or how i can get out of it? maybe i have an old driver installed cause i installed it throuh yast but i did put in the repo for it but i still think that the driver might be outdated

[gogalthorp]

The glxgear frame rate is low for 3d acceleration. On my NVIDIA 6800 based card I get 10,000+ frames/sec at the default glxgear window size well over 1000 at full screen.

Have you installed the latest ATI driver??

[aukword1]

i gotversion 8.36 or something installed. when i d/l it from ati its version 8.40.2 but i installed it through yast so i thought it was the right version for 10.2....anyhow i'm gonna reinstall the driver the hard way....do i need libdrm to be 2.3 or is that only if i'm gonna install Xorg 7.2?
