 |
|
Okay, since I switched over to Gentoo back in march, I keep getting this message whenever running any opengl stuff
| Code: |
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
|
The opengl stuff works when I run the glxgears but I am assuming the rendering is software based and not running directly from the hardware. The system is a P3 500 with a rage128 video card onboard with 16 mb ram. With Quake III running at 640x480 it crawls and the sound is choppy on the main menu, I haven't even tried the actual game yet. I am assuming getting xfree to do direct rendering would fix this problem. I am running xfree instead of xorg and am afraid to upgrade (don't want to break my only working system right now). What do I need to do to get this stupid error to go away? The Gentoo DR howto is confusing for someone who is relatively new to getting graphics to work better. I welcome any and ALL suggestions, no matter how stupid they may be.

What's confusing about it? |

I have followed all of those directions a number of times. There isn't much info on 2.6 kernels, as to whether to load stuff as modules, or what not. What do I need to emerge if I am running a 2.6 kernel as opposed to the 2.4? Do I need to emerge ATI drivers? I just keep getting low frame rates and that stupid message all of the time and I know its not running off of the GPU. I will take another crack at it I suppose.

Okay here are some more details:
Here is my glxinfo:
| Code: |

|
So I DON't have direct rendering. One problem I always ran into was whenever I edited my XF86Config, and followed the documentation to edit this portion of my config file:
| Code: |
...
Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
...
EndSection
...
Section "Device"
Driver "radeon"
...
EndSection
...
Section "dri"
Mode 0666
EndSection
|
When I enable "Mode 0666", my X environment crashes and doesn't even come up. So that's a major problem obviously. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Almost exactly the same as 2.4 if you're using x11-drm-20040827 or newer. You just need to remember to build your chipset-specific agpgart module and load it in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, because X will only autoload the core agpgart module and the DRM module.
ati-drivers are available for Radeons 8500 and up. x11-drm is the open-source option, available for Radeons 9200 and lower and Rage 128. |

That's the only useful line of that.

That's really weird. Try changing both instances of "dri" to "DRI" and see whether that happens to help any. Also please paste the output of:
| Code: | # grep -e '^(EE)' -e '^(WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
# dmesg | grep -i -e agp -e drm |
There's a chance that this will be useful:
| Code: | | # LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo |

Okay here they are:
| Code: |
grep -e '^(EE)' -e '^(WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: No such file or directory
|
That's probably because I am still running xfree instead of xorg
Here is the second one:
| Code: |
dmesg |grep -i -e agp -e drm
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 440BX Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 149M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf4000000
|
That is my chipset on my motherboard. I will try those other options later today when I have time. Thanks for your help by the way:)

Yes, it is. You should have adapted that for xfree -- I figured everyone would be switched over to xorg at this point. |

Okay, switched over to Xorg, here is my output on that:
| Code: |
grep -e '^(EE)' -e '^(WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo/" does not exist.
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module speedo
(EE) Failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) ATI(0): Cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer.
(WW) ATI(0): config file vrefresh range 50-100Hz not within DDC vrefresh ranges.
(WW) ATI(0): I2C bus Mach64 initialisation failure.

How about:

Think it's suggesting something about your vertical refresh setting? Not sure about the importance of the I2C bit. |

I fixed the refresh rate at 60 Hz, which got rid of that problem.
I am still getting a message when I enable Module 0666 in my XF86Config. It says that it does not recognize that option and X fails to start.
My other problem is when I copy XF86Config to xorg.conf, X does not start up. I tells me it can't find a "speedo" font or a "keyboard" module. I suppose I need to edit the config file to meet the changes, but what do I change it to?

The Speedo part doesn't matter. As for the keyboard thing, change your keyboard driver from Driver "keyboard" to Driver "kbd". |

Sorry about the typo: Here is my XF86Config:
| Code: |
# Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
# EndSection
|
It was mode instead of module, my mistake. It was late when I typed that.
