Another day of probing finally got DRI working on my new machine: |
| 2 |
the basic problem was that Mesa needed recompiling with 'i810' enabled. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Naturally (wry smile), this led to another show-stopper: |
| 5 |
X starts with no errors in the log, but 'glxgears' & 'glxinfo' crash X. |
| 6 |
There is a brief "back-trace", but it shows nothing immediately useful. |
| 7 |
There are many reports via Google & Gentoo Forum of similar experiences, |
| 8 |
some of them as recent as Aug-Sep 2007, all involving Nvidia or Radeon, |
| 9 |
but none revealing a cause, let alone a solution. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Might the problem involve a conflict between kernel/Xorg modules ? |
| 12 |
Is there some required combination of entries in xorg.conf ? -- |
| 13 |
'man xorg.conf' is not the most helpful of documents, |
| 14 |
it not being clear what many of the options etc really do. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The processor is an Intel G33 using drivers 'i810' & 'i915' ; |
| 17 |
kernel 2.6.22-r8 ; 64-bit system . |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions ? |
