 Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 5:15 am Post subject: ATI:Difference in glxinfo from root to regular user [Solved] |
 |
|
Rebuilding the system after trashing it and have something strange with running glxinfo (tried running enemy territory first as a regular user and gives a Mesa being used for Open GL. As root user it works).
Notice the OpenGL Vendor string.
As root running glxinfo gives:
| Code: |
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating,
GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_OML_swap_method,
GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_hyperpipe,
GLX_SGIX_swap_barrier, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig
client glx vendor string: ATI
client glx version string: 1.3
client glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context,
GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_ARB_multisample,
GLX_ATI_pixel_format_float, GLX_ATI_render_texture
GLX version: 1.2
GLX extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context,
GLX_ARB_multisample
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6234 (8.32.5)

As a regular user:
| Code: | name of display: :0.0
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
display: :0 screen: 0

What should I look at and do I need to provide more information?
Thanks,

See what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says when mesa comes up, if there are some EE errors or WW warnings.
Maybe there is a permission issue? Like this part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
| Code: | Section "dri"
Mode 0666
EndSection |
The way I can see those two versions of glxinfo is by | Code: | | eselect opengl set ati |
or | Code: | | eselect opengl set xorg-x11 |
and once su sets it to ati, it stays there seemingly for the system. I don't understand this in detail, but I hope some of this helps you. |

Putting in the dri section with the mode line solved the problem.
Thanks much! |
