BTW did I understand that you went from the ATI proprietary drivers to the open-source ATI drivers? Last I knew, the open-source ATI drivers didn't support direct rendering/3D hardware accel. Has this changed?

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 M10 and I discovered the r300 sourceforge project (http://r300.sourceforge.net/) and then read somewhere that the driver had become part of the xorg source (I think).
That doesn't sound right. I don't think xorg has drivers incorporated into it. The drivers are separate. Either you are using ATI (open source) or fgrlx (proprietary). What does it say in your xorg.conf file?
Anyway the propritary drivers were stopping me from using the CCRMA kernel and they didn't really seem to speed much up - probably because I don't really know enough about what I am doing.
Did you try GEM with both sets of drivers? I just looked up the ATI open source driver and it still doesn't support 3d accel for the r300 stuff. Did you try glxgears with both sets of drivers?
I was told to run quake as a benchmark but I never got around to it.
Now I am trying to do some projection work for some dancers and I need to get gem working with my DV camera while disabeling as little as I can within GEM. I am curious if that little line or two of code I added will allow Gem to find my camera.
Should still find your camera no problem. But you should just try it.
I just ran yum update xorg* and 13 packages were updated but I still get the error. What are you all using as your display managers?
Gnome, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Any tips?
Are you using openGL? You may want to check out PDP and PiDiP for your project as well. Come to think of it, I don't know if PDP and PiDiP know how to find a firewire camera. They work great with usb webcams...
Thanks!
