Hey, i'mm using ATI Radeon mobility 4570. I checked in the harddware drivers section and this is what i found:
No proprietary are in use on this system.
ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (description....)
this driver is not activated.
after this i hit the activate button and downloaded the driver...it installed. and the driver now shows active.
PD still crahes when running any of gem's applications requiring a video. this is the error when i use dmesg::
hmm, i'm not sure whether i understand this.
- does it mean, that Pd/Gem _always_ crashes (when opening a window, or
closing a window, or...) OR
- does it mean that Pd/Gem crashes as soon as you use anything which
involves pixes (coming from e.g. [pix_image], [pix_film] and/or [pix_video]) OR
- does it mean that Pd/Gem crashes as soon as you use [pix_video]?
in the first case, try running "glxgears" from the cmd-line and see what it tells you (it is part of the mesa-utils patckage)
pd[4519]: segfault at 4 ip b787c5dc sp bfaee8e0 error 6 in libstdc++.so.6.0.10[b77c3000+e4000] pd[4691]: segfault at b7b58824 ip b7f2bb64 sp bfa81bf4 error 7 in libpthread-2.9.so http://libpthread-2.9.so[b7f25000+15000]
in the last case, try running Pd/Gem from the cmdline and see what it tells you before crashing. try adding "-stderr" to also catch the messages to the Pd-console try adding "-verbose" to get additional messages.
