No hardware acceleration after upgrae to Xorg 7.0x

raid517 · 04-14-2006, 12:30 PM

Hi, I upgraded to the latest xorg 7.0x build - and so far everything seems to have gone relatively smoothly. The only thing is I don't have any hardware accelleration with my video card any more.

My video card is an on board intel 900 and is based on the following chipset:

http://www.asrock.com/Product/775Dual-915GV.htm

I looked in my xorg.conf and it said that the driver it was using was an intell i810 driver. However this appeared to work fine and didn't seem to cause any difficulties.

Looking at my xorg.log file everything appears fine, except that it complains about a bunch of missing fonts and font paths. (I assume some of the paths to these fonts have changed?)

I have attached my xorg.conf file below. can anyone please give any hints as to what might be going on? I have modprobed the i810 driver and it appears to be loaded OK.

I also read this Ubuntu bug report which appears to be identical to mine, except that I have libgl1-mesa-dri 6.4.1-0.4 which as I am using Kanotix which is debian Sid, is I believe an official debian package.

So I'm not sure at all where the conflict is comming from. Also I have no idea how to go about downloading and installing the new i810 driver from CVS to try it out. How exactly would I go about that - and does anyone have any ideas what may have caused this fault originally?

I have been toying with the idea of going with another distro, but after having thought things through, if I can figure out what's wrong first and then work out how to fix it, this would probably be a better approach than simply giving in - as I will learn more from it.

you need to enable GLX support for it. the real GLX from your video card vendor not the default one from xorg.

raid517 · 04-14-2006, 01:02 PM

So how exactly do I go about doing that? I knew where I was when I was using ATI cards and also Nvidia - but this is a little onboard Intel chip (which as I stopped playing games some time ago, works perfectly well for my purposes) and I'm not sure where to start with it.

How do I differentiate between the two different GLX versions? Everything worked just dandy before I updated to xorg 7.0. But then, as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat - and I would have done it at some point just so I could see if there was anything new or special about Xorg 7.0.

dose you video card even have glx support for "linux"?

doublejoon · 04-14-2006, 02:49 PM

Xorg 7.0 uses different paths

Your video card driver is still looking in the old paths for X

/usr/X11R6/bin/X is the old executable
/usr/bin/X is where the new one is at

This kind of explains it....It's for Arch Linux but most of it applies to general Linux

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/...nfiguration.29

You might get away with symlinking to new paths

raid517 · 04-14-2006, 04:02 PM

Hi thanks I will bare that in mind for next time. That also explains why I guess compiling the latest CVS DRI and messa drivers from freedesktop.org has resolved the issue (or at least it appears to have done so for now) as the comilation process will have looked for and found X in the correct location and comipled the driver accordingly.

I don't like not being able to figure stuff out. So this is very useful. At least i know now.
