8 Yes, Xorg 7.2 with the 1.7.4 driver (actually the modesetting branch
9 matching same, as I'm using an LCD and wanted 1680x1050 resolution
10 support), Mesa 6.5.2 with 2.6.20.3 kernel
11
12 With DRI off, glxgears/etc work though of course slowly. With them on,
13 anything talking to gl fails, eg:
14
15 (motoko ~)$ glxinfo
16 name of display: :0.0
17 glxinfo: bufmgr_fake.c:746: bmGenBufferStatic: Assertion `0' failed.
18 Aborted
19
20 Backtrace shows the assertion inside i965_dri.so
21
22 I also tried xorg-server-1.2.99.903.ebuild and xf86-video-i810-1.9.94,
23 which failed entirely (segfault on driver load, trashed the display
24 state and rendered the entire console unusable).
25
26 Glad to know this is working for someone at least - so hopefully it's
27 just something with my configuration or specific versions, or at the
28 worst a hardware problem. Maybe DRI works under 4:3 screen layouts but
29 not others? I can live with slow 3D, it's not essential to my workflow
30 but it's very frustrating when your hardware doesn't seem to work as
31 it should.
