stubborn DRI won't work [SOLVED]

[dakster]

I've got a blueberry laptop that I can't seem to get DRI working on. I've got the mach64 driver compiled and running by way of the mach64/common downloads from the DRI project, and everything looks good as far as X config and kernel config go (yeah, using a color depth of 16 because of the 6 mb of vid mem on this POS . Anyway, if anyone who has gotten this stupid mach64 vid chip to work in DRI can take a peek at this, I would be most greatful:

Sorry for the long post, but I've spent all weekend on this, and can't figure it out at all. Man, dreaming of a nvidia chip right now
Thanks in advance to anyone how might have a tip for me.

[stimuli]

Nvidia has shit drivers under linux/ppc.

are you in fact using xorg for opengl, and not something else (eg: software Mesa)? There's an opengl-something utility that you use to select your opengl implementation with.

[dakster]

DRI doesn't really have anything to do with the opengl-config does it? DRI is all hardware based, I'm not sure that switching the config with opengl-config will change whether or not DRI is working. I didn't know about he nvidia tho, only used it on x86 & amd64, and it kicks arse in both. Sux about the ppc.

[dakster]

Well, I've been poking around on the forums quite a bit, and about the best idea I can find is to wait for 6.8.2 to become stable for ppc. Apparently 6.8.1 and 6.8.2 have a mach64 dri driver now. I looked at emerging the unstable, but it was blocked, and I don't really feel like dealing. It'll come eventually
If anyone has any ideas besides moving to a newer Xorg, i'm all ears....

[dakster]

Well, I emerged xorg-x11 6.8.2, and that didn't magically get DRI working with the mach64 like I was hoping
I can't emerge x11-drm with the 2.6 kernel, and the kernel itself doesn't have dri drivers for the mach64. I think I'm going to try compiling the dri common/mach64 again and see how that works against this xorg version. This takes about 12 years on the blueberry, so it'll take a while to figure out if it works

Ok, well, its' still pretty slow, but that's to be expected given what it is (mach64).

Anyway, so to get it working I downloaded dri common & mach64 like in the howto, and compiled that. My kernel has drm enabled, but no drivers selected (2.6.10-gentoo-r6). After the kernel and that dri mach64 installation is done, you have to remerge xorg. I emerged xorg-x11 6.8.2 with dri, drm, and insecure-drivers as USE flags. dont' know if dri or drm do anythign, but I think that insecure-driver thing is needed. I added mach64 to the module autoloading, and voila!!! direct rendering FINALLY enabled. Don't know if it'll actually help much, but glad to know I'm actually using my hardware

[dakster]

Almost forgot. I had a problem with this:
_LoaderFileToMem() lseek() failed: Invalid argument

when I tried to start X. I fixed this by moving /usr/lib/modules/extensions/dri-old.libglx.a back to libglx.a. This way you're getting the mach64 driver from the dri package, but using xorg's libglx. Gogo gadget blueberry iBook! lol

[Marctraider]

I have some questions, i also have the bluebery notebook and im trying to get it working.

1. Can you post your xorg.conf file? and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

2. What kernel version are you using?

3. What FPS do you get in glxgears?

4. Did you enable agpgart and uninorth chipset in the kernel under character devices?

5. What how-to did you use? the mach64-common stuff is only for i386 right? If you mean the ones on http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/ anyway...

Please help me!?

[dakster]

Sorry, I finally caved and got a nice Asus z71v laptop with a nvidia 6600 and 128 MB of vid memory. Fantastic.

I gave up on the old ibook. I never did get accelerated X working correctly on the ibook from what I recall. It always broke something else, but that was a while ago. Don't have the ibook anymore I'm afraid, sorry.
