Open GL Problems


I'm using an Intel 82852/855GM Graphics Controller card on a Dell Inspiron 700m with Ubuntu 5.10. I'm unable to display 3D screensavers and I don't know how to fix it...

Thanks


Some excerpts from
xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Try running glxinfo , and see if Direct Rendering (DRI) is enabled.
If not, try to modify the following in xorg.conf:
Code:
# This loads the GLX module
    Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
    Load       "dri"

# Device configured by xorgconfig:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel 810"
    Driver      "i810"
    VideoRam    32768
	Option	"XVideo"		"On"
	Option	"MonitorLayout"		"CRT,CRT"
	Option	"DevicePresence"	"On"	
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
And at the very end:
Code:
Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
 EndSection
Change the videoram to you desired amount.

Restart X , and see if that did it by running glxinfo again.

If not check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and check for any errors (EE)

If the step before 'DRI not loaded' says anything about 'i910' , recompile your kernel to include the i910 driver as a module.

That should work
