[SOLVED] no direct rendering on intel 965 (x3100)

[malanco]

hi guys, i updated my os to hardy from gutsy since gutsy i cannot enable the direct rendering of my 965 card,i enter this command glxinfo | fgrep and i get direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

i thought that turning into hardy the problem will be solved but i had no luck at all.
Any help will be appreciated (sorry for my bad english).

here is my xorg.conf:

i cannot enable the direct rendering of my 965 card,


Open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), then give the following commands and post the output here.

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep -i -A 5 -B 5 direct

help please guys, i cant find any solution to this problem :(

[leomelo]

Try to turn off all the xserver-xorg-video,in synaptic,and only let turned on the xserver-xorg-video-intel

[prshah]

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep -i -A 5 -B 5 direct



agustin@agustin-laptop:~$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep -i -A 5 -B 5 direct


OK the problem is not apparent in the lines you pasted; can you post the _entire_ output of the below command (Note: It will scroll past the screen in the terminal, so you will have to use the scrollbar and scroll upwards to find the beginning of the output.)



LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

====

Aside from the above, also try this:

When reviewing your xorg.conf, I notice you have no Modules section. Edit your xorg.conf
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf confirm that you have no Modules section, then add the below lines
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection


Then save, quit, logout, and restart X server with Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace. Log back in and check if direct rendering is enabled with
glxinfo | grep -i direct

If it's still not working, maybe the output of the command in the first part of this post will give a clue.

Add the following lines to your xorg.conf, then save, logout and restart

disabling all other xserver-xorg-video packages did not work, thanks for your help leomelo :D

[prshah]

agustin@agustin-laptop:~$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3)
OpenGL extensions:



This part bothers me; I have an Intel 945, and I get
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945G 20061017 x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2
looks like some sort of version conflict.

Try this: Locate the "Module" section that you added, then add a further line within in

Load "GLcore" (Note MIxed case)

Then save, logout, restart X server with Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace

btw, are you running dual screens _right now_? Because I _think_ direct rendering only works on one screen at a time- not sure though.

Also, press F2, then give the command
displayconfig-gtk, click on the "Graphics Card" tab; which driver is in use?

[malanco]

i just found how to solve it, i found the solution at this post :

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=583081

it appears that you dont need the xserver-xgl package while using the intel drivers, i removed it and remove the file :

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/98xserver-xgl_start-server

now i get direct rendering: yes, glxgears works, and compiz too. :guitar:

thanks prshah

Could you post the output of glxinfo? Mine is full of "none" and "slow" entries, and while I'm no graphics expert, "slow" doesn't sound good. This is what I am getting:

thanks man ! BTW i'm on debian lenny and these instructions work fine for it using intel965.
thanks again!
