Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been using Xgl for quite a long time without any serious problems. |
| 4 |
Recently I've tried to launch America's Army (emerged one, version |
| 5 |
2.5.0) on my box, but... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
~ armyops |
| 8 |
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". |
| 9 |
Cheat protection disabled |
| 10 |
open /dev/[sound/]mixer: No such file or directory |
| 11 |
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change! |
| 12 |
Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out. |
| 13 |
History: |
| 14 |
Exiting due to error |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Being quite disappointed I verified the first line of the output above |
| 17 |
with glxinfo. And so... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
~ glxinfo |
| 20 |
name of display: :1.0 |
| 21 |
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". |
| 22 |
display: :1 screen: 0 |
| 23 |
direct rendering: No |
| 24 |
<snip> |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It sounds rather unbelievably. I've got running Xgl with Beryl's |
| 27 |
dazzling animations and I'm informed that despite having over 4000 FPS |
| 28 |
on glxgears I have not got direct rendering. What the...? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Few days later I've accidentally launched Xorg (using startx script) |
| 31 |
instead of my Xgl. When I entered my old, two-dimension desktop I |
| 32 |
thought that trying America's Army over here, without Xgl, could tell me |
| 33 |
something more (i.e. that something's wrong with my configuration or |
| 34 |
whatever else). So I typed armyops in the terminal... And surprisingly |
| 35 |
enough the game has started. Furthermore, the framerate was quite |
| 36 |
satisfactory. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
After this quite long introduction I'll finally get to the point. I have |
| 39 |
got two questions. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
1. Is it possible to enable somehow direct rendering on Xgl, therefore |
| 42 |
allowing OpenGL apps to work as ought to. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
2. If the answer to the first questions is "NO", then is there a method |
| 45 |
of choosing which Xserver to use? Can I choose whether I'd like to |
| 46 |
launch Xorg or Xgl? Or maybe I can even enable such choice in GDM login |
| 47 |
screen? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
If you need any further information regarding by box please don't |
| 50 |
hesitate to ask. Any support would be highly appreciated. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Best regards, |
| 53 |
