When I run any OpenGL program, the following happens:

Code:

$ glxgears

Why doesn't this work? Any ideas? There is nothing in dmesg except for the segfault of the program that crashed. In Xorg.log there is only a warning:

Code:

Any ideas?

You cant make agp or dri modules.

Under Support for frame buffer devices
* Enable Video Mode Handling Helpers
* Enable Tile Blitting Support

thats it , no vesa, uvesa, intel, or vga

I have tried with and without GMA500, it was just a desperate attempt I did before posting here.

I do not know what is selecting "Support for frame buffer devices", I have to select either compiled-in or module. Under this option I had nothing selected previously, but now I have also tried with (as suggested in this thread) Enable Video Mode Handling Helpers and Enable Tile Blitting Support.

AGP support as module, why not? Sometimes I'd like to just stay in the console. But I have tried compiled-in too.

DRI support, again the same, I don't always want to use X.

I have tried various variants now. By "best bet" is the one I'm currently using, and it is:

Thanks for the suggestion. I have now tried this.

Configured kernel as suggested.
Recompiled, copied new kernel and modules_install, executed lilo.
Executed emerge -a xorg-server $(qlist -IC x11-drivers), checked that xf86-video-intel xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-synaptics are indeed included.
Rebooted.

Again, same thing with other programs that use OpenGL, like neverball, openarena.

I seem to recall that my intel video required all
modules (agp, i915)

what versions of mesa, intel video driver, etc do
you have installed?

[    19.038] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
[    19.091] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[    19.091]    compiled for 1.13.4, module version = 2.20.13
[    19.091]    Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[    19.091]    ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 13.1


glxinfo does not work, it crashes in the same way glxgears, neverball, etc. does. Is there any other way I can check my mesa version?

deltamalloc,

That looks ok. Your running kernel build time is Sun Jul 21 07:14:28 CEST 2013, which is yesterday.
Its worth a check like this as many users fix their kernel problems but fail to run the kernel with the fix it for one reason or another.

Please put your present kernel config on a pastebin together with your current Xorg.0.log
Thats
Code:
zcat /proc/config.gz | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log

deltamalloc,

Your log shows a normal Xorg startup.

What were you expecting Xorg to do when it starts?
How do you start Xorg ?

to check versions, I find it easy to use eix

that is, emerge -av eix

then eix -I mesa (for example)
would show mesa version

I'm expecting it to execute the slim display manager. I let the startup scripts start X for me.

However I have also started X using startx.

Why would I have gotten such an old version? The Gentoo install is very recent (a week or so?).
