 |
|
Hi,
I have a fresh installed gentoo. And Xorg is incredible slow. But this I mean the drawing of programs when I switch the desktop (especially firefox).
This is my graphics card:
| Code: |
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
|
glx works and I have direct rendering!
The only thing I can find in the xorg log is:
| Code: |
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for : No such file or directory
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
|
What could this be?
Thanks!
Nathan |

You seems to miss the i915 module in the kernel.
Re-check your kernel config. |

You seem to be missing the i915 kernel module, which is required for DRM.
In you kernel config (make menuconfig) go to
Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Direct Rendering Manager -> Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
(activate the modules necessary)
and select the i915 driver whether as module or built-in, as you prefer.

Could be your kernel is misconfigured. Post the output of this please: | Code: | | egrep '^[^#].*(AGP|DRM|INTEL)' /usr/src/linux/.config |
