Radeon 7000 no DRI

slackwarefan · 07-23-2005, 10:50 PM

I get about 120 to 130 FPS. How would recompiling with agpgart as a module help?

I know this is a little late in this thread but I would also like to know his answer. However I did get my glxgears from 120 to 230 by running slackware's xorgsetup tool. you could try that.

However that still does not help the DRI situation. I was wondering however, if you might help me with this dmesg |grep drm output. I got something a little different.

[drm] AGP 0.99 Aperture @ 0xf0000000 64MB
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.7.0 20020828 on minor 0

I look through the logs and it says "Acceleration: enabled" "Direct rendering: Enabled". For some reason though, when I'm actually using X, Direct rendering is disabled.

Check if you're actually using libGL and libGLU from xorg. You could for example run ldd on glxinfo:

Code:

bash-3.00$ ldd `which glxinfo` 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libGLU.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0xb7f4f000)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7ee3000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7ed5000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7e0b000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7df9000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7dd6000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7cb9000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7c01000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7bf8000)
        libXxf86vm.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 (0xb7bf3000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7bef000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fd7000)
bash-3.00$

If libGL and/or libGLU are run from for example /usr/local/lib (as was the case for me) or any directory other then /X11R6/lib/ then get those files out of the way (make backups so you can always restore!) and check the above test again.

Hope this will help.

FYI: I have a Radeon 7500 M7 Mobility and get 1350 fps with glxgears (200 fps with glxgears full screen). Here is my relevant part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "VESA Framebuffer"
        Driver      "radeon"
        Option  "AGPMode"               "4"
        Option  "AGPSize"               "32"
        Option  "AGPFastWrite"          "on"
        Option  "RenderAccel"           "on"
        Option  "EnablePageFlip"        "on"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode    0666
EndSection

Cheers, Leon.

I set exactly the same settings in my xorg.conf, and yet I still am without Direct Rendering. In my xorg.conf file it still says "Direct Rendering: Enabled", yet it's still not enabled when I try to make use of it.

What could be causing this?

-Thanks

Did you check the location of libGL.so.1 and libGLU.so.1?

slackwarefan · 08-11-2005, 09:11 PM

Yes, both are in the correct loactions, as per your post.

I'm using the DRI driver to try to run the card because I can't get the new ati drivers to work. I downloaded the install program from ati's website, but instead of presenting me with a gui allowing me to install drivers, the program shows nothing and on the command prompt, say
"verifying integrity"
"Uncompressing"
{uncompressing}
"Deleting temp folder"

It looks like it tried to start but just didn't and deleted the folder containing the things it was going to install.

I had this same problem. I had read somewhere (can't seem to find it now) that you need to run X.org 6.8.2. So after updating X, the installer ran fine.
