I'm running Debian Lenny, and I'm having a bit of trouble running graphical(opengl I believe) applications. Apps such as Google Earth, and games suffer from extreme lag. I did not have this problem when using Debian Etch.
For example, when I gave "Frets on Fire" a try, it lags, and this is all I get from the terminal:
Code:
aaron@debian:~$ fretsonfire
open /dev/sequencer or /dev/snd/seq: No such file or directory
This is my xorg.conf...looks like something is missing, but what?
Code:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I have this video driver installed:
dri-Intel-3.4.3006-20051209.i386.deb
I don't have compiz, beryl, etc installed. Is there something I'm forgetting?
Thanks

This was such a simpler process on Etch. I'd switch back but Lenny has so much more to offer me in terms of ready-to-go software. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Alright, I figured it out...much simpler than I was making it out to be.
Here's what I did if anyone else needs it:
1. I generated a new xorg.conf (You don't need to do this unless you were messing with yours as I was.)
2. I simply installed 3 packages: libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-dev
libgl1-mesa-glx
3. Reboot
Now glxinfo | grep direct gives me this:
Code:
direct rendering: Yes
I found those packages while searching through glxinfo, it works for me on Lenny, so hopefully someone else gets some use out of it.

Problem with intel graphic card under Debian Lenny
Hi
I just have installed Debian Lenny on my new laptop.
but i can't start my graphic server
My graphic card is an Mobile intel 945 Express.
Here is a part of my lspci:
(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(II) Module "ddc" already built-in
(II) Module "i2c" already built-in
(II) Module "ramdac" already built-in
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpart (No such file or directory)
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) intel(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI
(EE) intel(0): Faild to allocate frałebuffer. Is your VideoRAM set too low?
(EE) intel(0): Couldn't allocate video memory
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
giving up
xinit: Connection reste by peer (errno 104): unable to connect to x server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
i added some lines to the Device section of my xorg.conf file:
[CODE]
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:1"
EndSection
Then i tryed to start my xserver, but i had that as error messges:
Code:
(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:0) found
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
giving up.
xinit: Connection reset by peer (errno 104): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
The package: xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed
do u have any idea to solve my problem?
should i add some lines to my xorg.conf file??
Thx
