 Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 3:54 pm Post subject: ati: no dri [solved] |
 |
|
i have been all over these forums and have seen multiple posts regarding this issue.
i have tried every solution i have found and others.
it is quite possible i am simply missing something.
however, at this point i am frustrated and need some help.
the most current configuration guide/faq/wiki/stiky/.... i have used is wedge's.
my problem: no dri
| Code: | glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect |
i have a 9800xt.
i am using kernel 2.6.17-r8, ati-drivers 8.28.8, and xorg 7.0-r1.
thanx in advance.

Hi.
Have you run eselect opengl set ati? What is the output of eselect opengl show?
Is there any reason for you not to run xorg-7.1? The latest ati drivers already support xorg-7.1.

jmbsvicetto:
yes.
| Code: | eselect opengl show
ati |
i am running xorg 7.0 because 7.1 has masked (keyword ~x86) dependencies.
i will try upgrading and see what happens. |

I think that this problem is somehow related to the one discussed in the thread "New ati drivers issue". The solution there was to downgrade to Xorg 7.0. I don't know if it'll work though...

neo2:
i appreciate the reply.
i do not think that that is my problem.
i have had the same issue since before upgrading to modular X (7.0)
i have been through at least 4 versions of xorg, all with the same problem.
it is really frustrating. |

I'm sorry, last night I quite misunderstood your problem. Since you haven't posted all your USE flags, please ensure that you have these other USE flags set (best if in make.conf): USE="acpi dga" and if something was missing recompile with new flags with "emerge --update --deep --newuse world". Is your card a AGP or PCI-E version? If AGP please post the output of "dmesg | grep agp". Could you also post your xorg.log and xorg.conf please?

do these:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and
dmesg | grep agp
just like the guy in the post above me said.
also, is your agpgart a module or built-in to the kernel?
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep agp |

neo2 && sonicbhoc:
thanx for the replies and requests.
i greatly appreciate it.
i ended up solving the problem this morning and now have dri  .
i found the problem after running the command
| Code: | | cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep agp |
that you suggested sonicbhoc.
there was nothing there.
from there i checked /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and found that i had
failed to load the intel-agp module after the agpgart module  .
after making that change everything worked fine.
thanx again. |
