libGL is out of sync with DRI - no direct rendering ATI m9
Hi all
I'm trying to get direct rendering on my laptop to work. It uses an ATI M9 card. In my Xorg.0.log everything looks fine: Code:
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled Code:
direct rendering: No dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting I found, per their instructions, that: Code:
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so - Any help appreciated, thanks in advance |
I think it is part if Mesa... compile Mesa

Re: libGL is out of sync with DRI - no direct rendering ATI m9
Did you try the official DRI snapshot for the R200 ? You need to download the latest common-*.tar.bz2 and r200-*.tar.bz2 archives, then you should extract each archive and run its install.sh script. In case of trouble, you could restore overwritten X.Org's files by reinstalling x/*.tgz packages.

Just some update on the 'progress'
shashir's advice was to compile MESA, but this didn't make a difference. To top this off, I followed http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building to build X from CVS. This pretty much made starting X impossible, but I can't remember the specifics...I reinstalled slackware's own X again real fast. I followed LiNuCe's suggestion and installed the two archives. Now, the driver correctly finds my external monitor so I have a lovely mergedfb, which I was also trying to get to work. However, the dri has become worse. Loading the dri module form xorg.conf now causes X not to start at all... Code:
Symbol noXFree86DRIExtension from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! Disabling the mergedfb to only load one monitor doesn't solve anything. I also installed the archive http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots...x.i386.tar.bz2 but this didn't make a difference. I'm taking a small break from this all, as I'm already happy that mergedfb works nicely and I have exams coming up. When I get around to it, I'll try all this again, because I might have messed up a few things installing all the packages. Thanks for the advice so far! |
I had problem after problem getting direct rendering going for my notebook's Radeon IGP320, and initially you made a comment about glxinfo telling you it was disabled, but the Xorg log saying it had been enabled -- there's a beautiful page that helped me on the DRI site, but at some point I had the silliest problem of direct rendering only being available for root. Have you tried putting at the end of your xorg config file:
Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Just a quick suggestion; may be useless, may fix it all up for you. Been awhile, but I'm pretty sure I get similar symptoms without that in my xorg.conf |
Yes, I tried that.
I've installed gentoo on the laptop, thinking that if I get used to compiling from source to get all the little tricks and treats to work, that will help out, and I guess it did because it works like a charm now. Pity about losing Slackware though, guess I'm just too lazy to really look into it... |
