1 Hi All,
2
3 I've booted into a new kernel (2.6.18-gentoo-r2) and suddenly discovered more
4 info than I had previously noticed in lspci regarding my video card:
5 ==================================================
6 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
7 (prog-if 00 [VGA])
8 Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Evo N600c
9 Flags: bus master, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
10 Memory at 48000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
11 I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]
12 Memory at 40200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
13 [virtual] Expansion ROM at 40220000 [disabled] [size=128K]
14 Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
15 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
16 ==================================================
17
18 Anyway, I saw this line:
19
20 [virtual] Expansion ROM at 40220000 [disabled] [size=128K]
21
22 Why is it disabled? Could this be the reason that when in console I have no
23 scroll back left in the framebuffer? Or that glxgears runs like a pig (in
24 slow motion)?
25 ==================================================
26 $ glxgears
27 libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
28 2446 frames in 5.0 seconds = 489.111 FPS
29 2441 frames in 5.0 seconds = 488.094 FPS
30 2448 frames in 5.0 seconds = 489.509 FPS
31 2438 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.576 FPS
32 2445 frames in 5.0 seconds = 488.976 FPS
33 2442 frames in 5.0 seconds = 488.238 FPS
34 2439 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.720 FPS
35 ==================================================
36
37 ==================================================
38 $ glxinfo
39 name of display: :0.0
40 libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
41 display: :0 screen: 0
42 direct rendering: Yes
43 ==================================================
44
45 While you're looking at this I would appreciate if you could tell me why I am
46 getting this libGL warning (and how to fix it)?
47
48 Finally, I am also getting this mtrr overlap at boot:
49 ==================================================
50 mtrr: 0x48000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0x48000000,0x1000000
51 mtrr: 0x48000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0x48000000,0x1000000
52 mtrr: 0x48000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0x48000000,0x1000000
53 mtrr: 0x48000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0x48000000,0x1000000
54 mtrr: 0x48000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing 0x48000000,0x1000000
55 agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
56 agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
57 agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
58 [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map
59 [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs
60 ==================================================
61
62 Any suggestions for fixing any of the above would be much appreciated. :)
