[SOLVED] Direct Rendering fails on HP G7000 (Intel 965GM graphics)

[oli_]

Hi,
I'm running a clean installation of Gutsy which detected my Intel 965 chipset with its native resolution (1280x800) without any problems.
only direct rendering does not work:

~$ glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

I'm kinda noobish with linux so i dont know how to handle this error

heres my xorg.conf, I didnt change anything.

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.

#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*

Can you look at the xorg logs to search for error messages ?

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

[oli_]

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

[Stemp]

Is the package libgl1-mesa-dri installed ?
If not install it and restart X.

[oli_]

worked smoothly, thanks for the tip

[rsa]

I have the same problem. Except for:

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

My xorg.conf is practically the same.

[Stemp]

You don't have the same error

try to look at the warnings :

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW

[rsa]

Here it is:

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

I've found an interesting fact. If I delete file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98xserver-xgl_start-server, I get direct rendering enabled and glxgears works. But than I can't enable compiz.
Here content of that file:

$ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98xserver-xgl_start-server 
# This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed.

XGL_START=/usr/share/xserver-xgl/Xgl-session
XGL_DISPLAY=:1
XGL_OPTS="-nolisten tcp -fullscreen -br +xinerama"

if [ -n $XDG_CONFIG_HOME ] ; then
    KILLSWITCH=$HOME/.config/xserver-xgl/disable
else
    KILLSWITCH=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xserver-xgl/disable
fi

if [ -x $XGL_START ] && [ ! -e $KILLSWITCH ]; then
        STARTUP="$XGL_START $XGL_DISPLAY $XGL_OPTS --execute $STARTUP"
fi

[Stemp]

Ok you don't have anything to install, you have to remove a package.
Just remove xserver-xgl, you don't need xgl anymore with intel drivers.

[rsa]

Yeah. It helps too. And glxgears works now. But compiz fails to start.

$ compiz --replace
