 Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2005 5:55 pm Post subject: 855GM and DRI support, anyone got it working??? |
 |
|
Hi there,
I'm having issues getting xorg to work with 'dri'.
I have a Toshiba A10 laptop with an onboard i855GM AGP.
When I enable dri I get a small square white box in the center of the screen with garbage in it. Need to shutdown with the powerbutton since the screen in unresponsive, even to switch to a console.
here is my xorg.conf:
| Code: | 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
Load "synaptics" # for touchpad
# This loads the font modules
Load "type1"
# Load "speedo"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "GLcore"
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
# Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "** Intel i810 (generic) [i810]"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 32768
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
Section "dri"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection

That card is hard to get to Work with current X versions in portage...
Last one I know that worked was 9 months ago with Xorg 6.8.0 or 6.8.1.
Since then best I get is Xorg.0.log saying DRI enabled but glxinfo says no DRI.
Don't know where the incompatibility is... |

I've got this working. Needed to update the kernel (no proper drivers in the < 2.6. and change the driver i810 for i915 - not everything is Just Working[tm].
Search the forums for Setting up i810 and so - there's at least one outstanding thread regarding this issue. |

On Kernel side I do have i915 driver, Xorg only has i810 for everything. DRI either Xorg original or snapshot version fetched from DRI.sf.net don't work. |

hope it helps...
It's not so easy to set it up, you know. But if you follow what other pl had done you'll (most probably - it's intel  ) succeed.
I'm sorry I cannot give you some instructions - I just think there's no such need as the issue has been already solved (many times)...
Check your xorg.conf (i've got some strange items there  ) and kernel config - enable Intel i865 chipset support (AGP_INTEL_MCH) agpgart support (as module), Intel I810 (DRM_I810), Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G, i915 driver (DRM_I915) - all modules.
In xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Device"
[..]
Option "NoAccel" "false"
Option "DRI" "true" |
Don't care if it's really needed 
And:
| Code: |
Chipset "i915"
Driver "i915" |
Maybe uncomment 'dri' module in xorg.conf, hum?
I've also done:
| Code: | | # Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension |
I read your whole post. I can tell you I was getting the same - weird grey square in the middle of the screen. The line above seemed to help solve this problem. + using i915.
In one word: i810-based intel chipset is a 'bitch to set up' as Bob_P wrote  So xorg is crap, useless piece of dog slow unconfigurable software 
PS Sorry for my post being so, ehm, of a mess, it's pretty early, that's why. Feel free to post!  |

But where do you find that i915 driver??
With Xorg there is only a i810 and i740 driver, but no i915 
Kernel modules I have loaded: agpgart, intel_agp, drm, i915
i810 driver versions used: 1.3.0, 1.5.69, 1.5.98 (requires more recent libdri than stock 6.8.2 one), 1.5.71 and others |

Ok - I'd like to see your xorg log+ kernel config (only parts of) + glxinfo if you're inetersted in this too. Btw: does xorg start correctly when you comment our Load "dri" line? |

Yes, Xorg starts fine even when I comment DRI out (in modules and device sections)
If needed I can put them all on a Webserver (so complete info is available)

make it set;P
Also, make sure dri is 'dri' not 'DRI', it's supposed to be small letters.

Load "dbe"

will look at logs closely shortly. |
