Ok, when i type ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/fglrxinfo i get this:
libGL.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7ea0000)
When i type ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* i get same thing you get, 773890 also.
Should i delete the libGL files?
Pedro
3D-card-Wizard, version 10 - with Ati 8.25.18 (Nvidia: test)
No, don't need to delete, it is the correct one.
Is there such a file in /usr/lib ?
Files found there have higher priority, so they will be used instead those in /usr/X11R6/lib.
type:
ls /usr/lib/libGL.so*
If you get some listed, delete them.
Then reboot.
This is strange.
Or maybe it is one of the other libs?
You could do this:
1.) install http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/OpenGL-B.pup (click in Rox)
This installs all OpenGL-libraries that I have, too, libGL.so, libGLU.so and so on.
2.) install again the ATI-8.25.18.pup to update the libGL.so for Ati (click in Rox)
3.) reboot computer.
4.) run glxinfo
This should report:

display: :0 screen: 0

server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:

OpenGL version string: 1.3.1072 (X4.3.0-8.25.18)
Of course you should have not Radeon 9200, but 9600.
Does that work?

I have no idea at moment 
One last thing to try:
replace /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 with the one attached, and rebbot.
It was in the Ati-package originally, but in my Puppy it throws dozends of errors, so I replaced it with an older one.
But maybe the Radeon 9600 just runs with this?
We can try it at last.
I go asleep now, maybe tomorrow I will have another idea.
It would be really stupid, if we would find no solution, now we have solved all the Kernel-stuff and configuration.

please also attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In mine, I had some old options I had set manually before.
With them, I also get:
fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)
I commented them then (down in the end), and now it works.

It's working 
libGL.so.1.2 was the problem.
fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5814 (8.25.18 )
glxgears works, fgl_glxgears works and your benchmark program also works
I'm sending you txorg.conf file anyway. Is there something that needs to be changed?
Right now i don't have time to test how well the driver works but i will play some games later.
Thanks Mark, i really apreciate your help, you are incredible!

oh great
Good to know, so this libGL.so is dependent on the grafics-chip used
Will have to add an option for people to choose manually.
It is very hot here, when we get a colder day, I will finish the wizard.
It then will run the aticonfig with standard-values and the libGL-choice according to what we found out together.
Many many thanks to you Pedro, without your detailed reports we I could not have solved it

Nvidia Drivers Security Bug
I dont know how relevant this is to puppy, but I have heard that there is a bug in proprietry Nvidia drivers that can cause a root exploit. It may be worth checking if there is a security fix before doing any recompilation. Details here
http://kerneltrap.org/node/7228
http://download2.rapid7.com/r7-0025/
Please dont ask me any details, I dont have the foggiest!

Puppy Linux's [url=http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=296352#296352]Mission[/url]
Sorry, my server is down atm!
Sorry, my server is down atm!
The kernel has changed, time to compile? Once the Puppy From Scratch gets cleaned up I plan to add this 3d detection app to my pup. It will have Hackedbox instead of JWM and will only have Dillo, network apps, GAIM and a light text editor, plus a wine add-on. It's basically for portable gaming. Burning NWN and changing the save folder to a symlink, would that work?!

Burning NWN and changing the save folder to a symlink, would that work?!I think Barry will release all Kernelmodules as a seperate package.
Then I will extract the DRI-modules and create a dotpup for an updated version of 3DCC for Kernel 2.6.18.1.
Only the Ati-fglrx driver had to be compiled by me.
Twice now, once with the latest driver, and once with version 8.25.8 for the Radeon 9250 and older.
I might get a old Nvidia Gt2 soon as donation, so support for old Nvidia-cards might be added to 3DCC.
Will need help from tempestous to compile it then, as that driver seems to require a patch.
Concerning your project: Yes, why not, should work.
I will use the same basic structure as now for 3DCC, so you could add all drivers together with it to the CD then.

Mark, that patch was from http://deepblue.sk/~r0b0/
But it was only required for nvidia version 7174. nVidia's latest "legacy" driver is now version 7184, and it should not require a patch.
In fact, I have compiled this driver for Puppy 2.10/2.11 and it's working well with my old nVidia TNT graphics card. (Sorry to all other nVidia owners, I didn't announce this and make it available).
If you are prepared to take over compiling the nVidia drivers, that would be great.
Some advice: the nVidia installer probes your graphics card to check for compatibility, and will abort the installation if your card is not compatible.
In my case, this meant that versions 7174/7184 were easy to compile, but version 8756 was difficult. There are various workarounds, the main one is to first extract the installer, then run the install script with specific options.
I will send more information by private message later, if you like.

yes, please do that.I will send more information by private message later, if you like.
But don't hurry, the GT2 will be sent from the states, so it will take a while, until I receive it. Then I will need a spare weekend to fiddle into everything, compilation and integration to the wizard.
Does the new driver also cover all the old cards?
Does that mean, the old driver is obsolete?
The GT2 is listed in the readme of the old driver.

Thanks for your help
