Is there a command to set Anisotropic setting in Linux with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (AIW)?

Does it exist? I cannot seem to find any documents like NVIDIA's
documents for its NVIDIA cards.

Thank you in advance. :)

I actually did and found nothing. Can you please kindly find me the
exact location(s)? :(

I had a GF4 Ti4200 before I got ATI. ATI Radeon 9800 works great under
Linux. I just need to tweak it, get TV tuner working, etc. :P

How in the world did you get the ATI Radeon 9800 to work with Linux? I
went and got the ATI drivers and installed them per the instructions
but when I fire up X I get fglrx errors. No matching device section
for Device 1:0:1 (sometimes 1:0:0) when I fiddle with things.
Did you get the TV working yet?

Hope to hear from you. thanks.

It wasn't easy, but I managed to get it to work. I basically had a
compile Kernel 2.4.20 from its source and had to do some tweakings.
You can see this thread:

I have not tried the TV stuff yet. I will do that later on. I just wanted
to get the card to work for X and games.

Thanks for your reply.

Here's what I have done so far.

Went in and did the ./make.sh inside the build_module and it, as you said,
complained about tainting kernels. Went in and did it anyway.

After building the module and installing it I built a new kernel, based
off of 4GB-Athlon (2.4.20) and now I only get the following inside the
XFree86.0.log:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1)
found

(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP


My hardware is:
Opteron 246
ASUS SK8N mobo (kernel has been patched with the proper .diffs and drivers
installed)
ATI AIW 9800 Pro
Display Driver 3.02.08
Mesa GLX Indirect
Open GL Version 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

OS: SuSE 8.2
(I noticed that 9.0 supports it but I can't figure how to ftp 9.0 yet.)
XFree86 Version 4.3.0
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE
Build Date: 11 September 2003

XFree86Config-4 has the usual setup by the fgl config (I didn't tweak it)

Part of the device section:
Option "UseFastTLS" "0"
Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"
Option "ForceGenericCPU" "no"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" # vendor=1002, device=4e48
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter connector 1"
Driver "fglrx"

(Secondary)

01:00.0 Class 0300: 1002:4e48
01:00.1 Class 0380: 1002:4e68

I'm just trying to get it for games too.

When I run fgl_glxgears, as a normal user, I get Error: couldn't get
fbconfig or when I go to run UT2003 I get an unable to fetch GLX display
or something to that effect and the program drops out.

If I run glxgears no warings or anything and I'm getting around 432 fps.

I tried gatos but still ran in to the same problem. No ID for 1:0:1 :(

Any hints on where to go next?

Not sure, but I would start a new newsgroup thread so it won't be
confusing with mine. Post everything you did and saw. Do I assume you
already ran ATI's config after compiling?

You need to compile the kernel and THEN build the module. Or just
re-compile and install the module now, since you've already re-compiled
the kernel.

And run fglrxconfig.
