Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Dri not working at all

rrr-jr · 04-19-2006, 09:41 AM

My direct rendering worked just fine until today when I upgraded Mesa to 6.5-r2 (because I wanted to upgrade my opengl version to 1.3 because it was 1.2 and I wanted to play glest

) and then I did some stupid things I guess ... combined the binaries snapshots from dri.freedesktop.org and stuff like that.
After I got mad with it I decided to remove everything ... and I did that including my gentoo-sources but I did not remove the mesa because I did not seem that mesa was the problem.
I've reinstalled gentoo-sources, built the i915 module in it and then tried to run Xorg7.
Everytime I try to run it with (Load glx and Load dri) My monitor blacks out but when I remove the modules everything goes fine just no direct rendering

... I'm listing some info in the next lines :

Code:

rrr # dmesg |grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
[drm] Initialized i915 1.4.0 20060119 on minor 0

rrr # dmesg |grep agp
Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 915G Chipset.
agpgart: Detected 32508K stolen memory.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe0000000

This is my xorg log with glx and dri loaded (note: this is what I recover after a couple of ctrl+alt+del 's):
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

http://86.122.192.88/xorg/Xorg.0.log

and my xorg.conf:

http://86.122.192.88/xorg/xorg.conf

Might be the problem is a missing library. Check /var/log/kdm.log and try running GTK apps from a console so you can see errors. Although there are no instructions for Xorg7.0 that I could find, I had to install most libraries that looked like libx???n.deb . (Debian)

Also, in your xorg.conf, YOU MUST NOT HAVE:

Code:

RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

My modules:

Code:

Section "Module"
#broken	Load	"GLcore"
	Load	"bitmap"
	Load	"dbe"
	Load	"ddc"
	Load	"dri"
	Load	"extmod"
	Load	"freetype"
	Load	"glx"
	Load	"int10"
	Load	"record"
#	Load	"speedo"
	Load	"type1"
	Load	"vbe"
EndSection

Also, if you want xkb to work (<Ctl><Alt><F1>, etc), you have to set aside /etc/X11/xkb and put a symlink there to /usr/share/X11/xkb . Although for me, that link was somehow removed after a day or so, inexplicably. (Debian Sarge)

I don't know if you saw my xorg.conf but i've attached in my first post ... i already have the paths that u told me and these are my modules:

Code:

Section "Module"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "xtrap"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
EndSection

I did see your xorg.conf. That's why I'm saying this.

Listen carefully now: NOT, NOT those lines! You must not have those lines. They are a big part of your problem.

rrr-jr · 04-19-2006, 01:34 PM

oh ... sorry ... thought you wrote with CAPITAL letter that those lines i didnt had to have I still understood something else ... sorry again

kg4ysy · 04-19-2006, 03:49 PM

could you post your /proc/config.gz

I redid my kernel without editing my xorg, and now direct rendering doesn't work on my computer (it did b4 i changed the kernel)

thx

Quantumstate · 04-19-2006, 04:02 PM

I don't have a /proc/config.gz . (Debian Sarge) Is this the kernel parameters?

I'm in the process now of recompiling 2.6.16, due to advice here. I have direct rendering with Xorg 7.0, but video is slow and CPU is pegged, so I suspect kernel DRM or Mesa.

If you haven't already, follow these steps.

rrr-jr · 04-20-2006, 04:58 AM

Due to further changes that you said to do ( removing those lines from xorg.conf) I can't seem to get it working ... but I have observed that if i uncomment the dri module it works and only if I uncomment the glx module it freezes when I start Xorg.
Where does the glx module come from? (Xorg ?!)
Should I reinstall Xorg (7) ?

Note: I use to have the Load dri and glx modules commented out in xorg.conf

Quantumstate · 04-20-2006, 02:38 PM

kg4, you've removed the DRM kernel module, and now no direct rendering. This proves that you were improperly depending on it, rather than DRM from Xorg. (In Debian, /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libdrm.so) I don't know what version of Xorg you're running, but I'm running 7.0, and used this. Also, tell us what AGP chipset you have, as I asked in the other thread.

Set it exactly like mine, as I say.

If your Xorg DRM library is there, and you are running v7.0, but
# grep "Direct rendering" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled

... check earlier in the log, and see if you have:

Code:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libdrm.so
(II) Module drm: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0
	ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.2
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI

There are no instructions for installing v7.0 that I could find, but in addition to all the libx???n libraries you need to install, it's a good idea to install all the protocol modules as well. I don't know about other distros, but in Debian the protocol modules start with x11-proto-???.

this gives me the following ...:

Code:

I said earlier that not the drm module gives me problems but the glx, which if I uncomment in xorg.conf it freezes my whole computer.

Code:

# grep glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

I notice your driver is i810. Shouldn't you use an i910 driver? I have i915 and everything seems to work fine except for direct rendering.
