Unhappy igp320M 3D acceleration..HELP ALMOST THERE!

I can't wait to post a linux success story on this thing.

Ok. I have a compaq presario 2100 (2110CA) and 3D accel on my igp320M (64M) is my linux unicorn right now.

I've put on Fedora Core 2 test, I've got the stock 2.6.1 kernel loaded, I haven't recompiled yet because I've had rotten luck so far compiling 2.6 kernels on this thing AND the AGP and DRM modules seem to already be there by default.

I've gotten XFree86 4.3.99 with the appropriate radeon IGP patches to run (from rpms provided on a link by a kind soul at http://consultmatt.co.uk/nx9005/radeon-igp/index.php ). I've made the changes to my XF86Config file (included below) and I've modprobed the radeon module, the agpgart boots up automatically in the kernel (dmesg output included below)...

The /var/XFree86.log seems to show all loading properly...

Yet, glxinfo says DRI is not enabled and glxgears gives me dismal FPS.

What am I missing? Any suggestions? Anything at all? I've read dozens of posts and pages, I could really use some pointers.

Some relevant info (sorry for the length of it):

Your problem is this:

The DRM modules may be there already, but they are the wrong version:

Looks like you're going to have to do a recompile I'm afraid.

Thanks. I hadn't spotted that.

Does this mean I'll have to apply some sort of patch? Like this one?

http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314

Hmmm...looks like I have more reading. I mean, I'm not sure the patches on that page apply to 2.6.1 (I had thought they were incorporated).



I'm going to try a recompile in the next day or so.

It looks like it means that your kernel has tried to load DRM as a module, but has loaded an incompatible version. Just recompiling the kernel should fix things (as long as you pick all of the right options of course...)

For Mr. D. and anyone else who is subscribed to this thread (and anyone else stuck with an IGP320M and found this thread through a search)

There's hope...more than hope:

I GOT 3D WORKING!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

First I decided to try and get Gentoo running, and I did (I was impressed with how well it runs and how rock stable it is on my presario 2110)...

Then I read through this thread:

here

Note: On page 2, there is the main, important HOWTO posted by a user called captnjameskirk (thank you!) but you can't stop there...there are other hints in the rest of the thread that help IF you run into trouble. Foremost of which that the ebuild for xfree they mention isn't in the portage tree anymore but someone posts a link to it elsewhere.

Anyway...it works.

I'm a VERY happy guy....just installed and played Quake3 arena here and I'm moving on to NeverWinterNights

Congratz on getting it to work...

I have a few posts out there in different forums, dated a year or more ago, posting what Ive found, questions,
feedback, etc. about the IGP 320M. Still in 2d mode here tho (Slack X). Never did get it running.

Gonna give it one more shot, I'd hate to switch to a diff distro..

Questions might be incoming soon
