This was a fix for the ATI DRI (closed source) drivers, not the xorg |
| 12 |
DRI drivers. Also, after upgrading to the latest ATI drivers, I had |
| 13 |
to remove this setting the get 3D support working again. |

I know it's considered bad mojo to run X as root, but what I do in these |
| 22 |
situations shut down all X servers, log into the console as root and run |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
X > x.log 2>&1 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Once I get the lovely grey checkered screen, kill the server |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
<CTRL> + <ALT> + <BACKSPACE> |
| 29 |
|

I then review the x.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors. If you still |
| 31 |
see "Permission denied", then the problem is most likely with a missing |
| 32 |
driver/module (which is what I am guessing is your problem). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If there are no permission errors, I then run |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
startx |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
as root, and look at the glxinfo output. You should see a line like: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
direct rendering: Yes |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Once you see that, you know you have 3D support working as root, then |
| 43 |
repeat the tests as a noraml user. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Since I have a Radeon 9800XT, I can not use the Xorg DRI drivers for 3D |
| 46 |
support. As I mentioned earlier, I recently upgraded my ATI drivers, and |
| 47 |
3D support stopped working for my normal user account. I went through the |
| 48 |
procedure above, and found 3D support worked for root. After double checking |
| 49 |
all kernel settings, rebuilding all modules, I finally decided to remove the |
| 50 |
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH, and 3D support started working for my normal user again. |
| 51 |
I know this is not the same problem, but it may help you in troubleshooting. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
In addition to the xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files you have posted, you may |
| 54 |
want check the output of dmesg, and double check your kernel settings in |
| 55 |
Device Drivers -> Character Devices (AGP and DRI), and do a lsmod to make |
| 56 |
sure all the correct drivers are loaded. |
