So you don't want to provide the information I requested. That's your right of course. I just hope others will help you then.

Ok I'll post the full log, was trying something else, gonna reinstall slackware-current now and get you that.

My Xorg.0.log is here:

Thanks for the log.

It answers this question:

Quote:

Well apparently I learned that. " The reason why we need to load dri2/glamoregl earlier is both glx-xserver and glamor are a dri2 loader. And glx-xserver side has a own glapi/dispatch table implementation which is a subset of the standard mesa's implementation. So if the glx module is loaded earlier than dri2/glamoregl, then we will get an incomplete dispatch table and everything is broken in glamor then." from this link: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/

Unfortunately I don't know how to rectify this.

Actually the glamoregl module is loaded before glx as I see this in the log:

Code:

 
[    13.559] (II) LoadModule: "dri2"
[    13.559] (II) Module "dri2" already built-in
[    13.559] (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl"
[    13.560] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so
[    13.563] (II) Module glamoregl: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[    13.563]    compiled for 1.15.2, module version = 0.6.0
[    13.563]    ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
[    13.563] (II) LoadModule: "glx"

Probably because the X server is told to load dri2 and glamoregl by /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf that contains this:

Code:

Section "Module"
    Load  "dri2"
    Load  "glamoregl"
EndSection

Also glamor is shipped in Slackware-current in the package x/glamor-egl-0.6.0 since Tue Jul 15 23:53:10 UTC 2014 according to the ChangeLog.

But I don't see the glamor module loaded, only glamor-egl. On the other hand I see in /usr/doc/glamor-egl-0.6.0/README:

Code:

What is glamor
------------------------

The glamor module is an open-source 2D graphics common driver for
the X Window System as implemented by X.org. It supports a variety of
graphics chipsets which have OpenGL/EGL/GBM supports.

Its a GL-based rendering acceleration library for X server only:

    It uses normal texture to represent a drawable pixmap
    if possible.
    It calls GL functions to render to the texture directly.

It consists of two packages:

    glamor : Rendering library. All the rendering functions
         are implemented in this package.
    glamor-egl : EGL support library. This package provides
             functions to create and initialize OpenGL/EGL context.

But I don't see the glamor module installed (or is it libglmor.so?. Enabling (or including?) it seems to be part of the X server, so to check I would modify /source/x/x11/configure/xorg-server adding the option --enable-glamor under BUILD_SERVERS=, rebuild and replace the X server. You probably want to add a line to load the glamor module in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf then (not sure about that).

That's somehow a shot in the dark as I am slightly puzzled that the glamor-egl module can be loaded if glamor is not present, and I am not sure that glamor be involved in your issue, but maybe that's worth trying.

It could be interesting to compare your log under Slackware-current with the one under Ubuntu, more specifically to check if with Ubuntu the glamor module is loaded before glamoregl

Other than that the versions of the involved components are fairly recent (at list the X server, the glaor-egl module and the ati module) so I don't see what you could want to upgrade.

ok I'll give that "modify /source/x/x11/configure/xorg-server adding the option --enable-glamor under BUILD_SERVERS=, rebuild and replace the X server." a try and let you you how it goes.

You could also try not to use glamor at all. To do that just rename /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf as /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf.bak then start the X server.

Just tried this, still the same, no change.
Going to try the rebuld x-server a bit later, I'll let you know how it goes.

Didier Spaier · 07-11-2015, 08:20 AM

Hmm, really no change? If you don't see the glamoregl module loaded anymore in the log (which was my assumption suggesting you to try that) but still the same error

Code:

destination is framebuffer incomplete: incomplete/missing attachment [8cd7]

that could whitewash glamor. Did you check?

Oh no, I didn't check that, ok I will, right now just waiting for the x11 folder to finish downloading, man that's alot of files.

Pednick · 07-11-2015, 09:19 AM

here's the Xorg.0.log with the renamed glamor.conf:

http://pastebin.com/zCSbiKVN

Didier Spaier · 07-11-2015, 09:35 AM

The only difference I see is that now glamoregl is now loaded as a sub-module (of what other module, I don't know). Try installing the server with glamor enabled and run it with and without glamor.conf renamed and let's see what you come up with. Unfortunately my knowledge of the X stack is slim, to say it kindly. Maybe womeone more knowledgeable will see this thread and help you.

You know what though, I think just renaming the file didn't do anything since glamor-egl is still installed, that's why there's no change, I'll remove glamor-egl and let you know what happens, right now I'm eating my meal, will do it sometime after that.

Pednick · 07-11-2015, 11:06 AM

It does boot in once I remove glamor-egl file, but radeon driver failed to load, here's my Xorg.0.log:

http://pastebin.com/w5xthHVV

Didier Spaier · 07-11-2015, 11:52 AM

Code:

(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so:  libglamor.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

Obviously the driver radeon_drv.so shipped in xf86-video-ati-7.5.0 needs libglamor.so.0 shipped in the glamor-egl-0.6.0 package to run.

So, I suggest that you reinstall it and try the X server with the --enable-glamor option.

There's no way to build mesa without glamor?
