Subject: [gentoo-user] xorg-x11-7.0.0-r1: Can't load glx module with radeon driver

1 Yee haw.

3 I'm using xorg-x11-7.0.0-r1. I am using their radeon driver, and trying
4 to get glx to load. It is my understanding that it now has 3d support (glx).
5
6 However when I try to start glxgears, I get this:
7
8 $ glxgears
9 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
10 Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
11
12
13 And the following in logs:
14
15 # grep -e "(WW)" -e "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
16 (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
17 (WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
18 (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
19 (WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode
20 disabled
21 (WW) RADEON(0): Enabling DRM support
22 (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
23 (WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
24
25
26 So I don't really understand what's going on. Any ideas out there? I do
27 NOT want to continue using ati's own driver (fglrx), it is riddled with
28 problems. The whole reason I went to xorg 7 is because of it's new ati
29 drivers with 3d support.
