 Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2005 2:09 am Post subject: GLX Gears: 260.400 FPS Getting a few errors! |
 |
|
Hardware: IBM T42 (Radeon 7500 I believe) :-\
Problem:
When running glxgears, I receive the following errror:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Followed by a horrible result 
1364 frames in 5.0 seconds = 272.800 FPS
1364 frames in 5.0 seconds = 272.800 FPS
1364 frames in 5.0 seconds = 272.800 FPS
I've already emerged the ati-drivers package but when following other how-to's I get the following error when emerging this package again:
* You have DRM support enabled, the direct rendering
* will not work.
* X11 implementation is xorg-x11.
Here's my xorg.conf: http://xbeta.com/xorg.conf
Here's my kernel config: http://xbeta.com/.config

7500? You shouldn't be using ati-drivers, or really x11-drm either.
Go in the kernel, Device Drivers -> Character devices, enable agpgart and DRM for your chipset, recompile and reboot, set the xorg driver to "radeon" and try again.

I've done as suggested.. and I'm receiving the same results:
gentoo Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". 7500
when opening glxgears...
From my understanding, xorg is completely different from xfree86.. I'm running xorg.. so why would I need this xfree86 DRI stuff? |

Add
load "dri"
to the modules-section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf |

Have you do a :
| Code: | | opengl-update xorg-x11 |
And restarted X ?
I confirm that ati-drivers isn't for radeon 7500, only up to 9000. If you're sure of you're hardware you can unmerge. |

I wish your suggestion worked but if you look in the xorg.conf I linked to in my original post, you'll see:
| Quote: | Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the font modules
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
Load "dri"
EndSection |
I hate shooting down suggestions because I really want to get this fixed but unfortunately I've already done that.
Thanks for the help anyways. Any other suggestions? I've recompiled my kernel but all the options that are suggested have been compiled in. See the config if needed. |

Ok.. I'll do that asap.

Your suggestion got rid of the error! However.... (notice the direct rendering section)
| Code: | tux root # glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
|
I'm still only pulling 297 frames per second. Is there anything I can redo that may fix this? Perhaps unemerge something I shouldnt have installed? I believe I installed ati-drivers .. but nothing in my modules list is showing up that says "ati-drivers". --Only radeon which is what I assume is correct.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for everyone's help |

On this page: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=26963&group_id=102048
there is some lines that is interresting for you, even that you do not use the unichrome-driver:
| Quote: | | Pull up a terminal and type "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose" (This is a holy mantra; do not forget it!) and then type "glxinfo". If you're rocking, you'll see a "direct rendering: Yes." If you see a "no" you should also see some reasons why. |

| Grab the latest DRI drivers and install them. You may also be interested in enabling S3TC. I'm using a Radeon 7500 in a Thinkpad T40 and have no issues with it. |

So, it's a step in the right direction.
Have you the radeon module loaded in the kernel ?
And the agp-modules ??
What say a dmesg about radeon ?
Please provide your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Thanks for infos  |

| Quote: | | (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering not yet supported on Radeon 9500 and newer cards |
I guess you have to wait until your card is supported... Else, if your card is a 7500 as you think it is, you can try to overwrite the cardID some way in you xorg.conf. Right now I dont know how to do so, but look for the documentation, I know I had to do so to get my Radeon 9200 to work before it was officealy supported by XFree86.
Good luck! Hope you fix it! |

Also, I noticed in my dmesg, the following:
| Code: | [drm] Initialized radeon 1.14.0 20050125 on minor 0: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
device-mapper: 4.4.0-ioctl (2005-01-12) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com |
I have a ATI 7500 in a T42 laptop from my understanding...
I have another block device with debian on it that gets ~500fps in glxgears so.... I think I'll hop on it and compair the configurations.. --Don't konw why I didnt think of this before. brb |

I couldnt find anything out of the ordinary.. My debian install is using xfree86 vs. xorg..
I guess I'll just wipe my install and try again. |
