 Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 12:47 am Post subject: Why does i965 load instead of i915 |
 |
|
So I noticed today that on the gentoo install there is no hardware rendering. I went through the kernel and recopiled the i915 and agp intel modules as modules. But when ever I start x server it it gives me an error message that i965 could not be loaded but I don't use the i965 module just the i915 D;
Also I was managed to break my use flags...wondering what I need to fix them.

# *** CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS ***
# CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS variables define the optimization flags for gcc C and C++ compiler.
# See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GCC_optimization for more information.
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Welcome, PasReel!
Regarding your USE flags, remove all of them, select correct profile for your setup, run emerge --info to see what is active. If there is something you need to tweak use an USE flag editor as ufed to make changes. Review your make.conf after that and you will understand how USE flags look like.
Regarding your VIDEO_CARDS variable, please see Gentoo wiki.

Sorry about the case sensitivity was just being lazy with typing. About the lspci I never emerged pciutils, but the modules loaded are
| Code: | Module Size Used by

if that helps with anything |

I'm not familiar with this chipset, but if it is asking for i965 why don't you enable it? |
Not going to lie didn't think about it.. But I didlook for it in the menuconfig but not too sure what to put for i965.

There are 2 different things. In kernel, one should enable i915 driver (CONFIG_DRM_I915) but in make.conf one should have
VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965"
There's no i965 for kernel, but there's one for Xorg. |
