 |
|
I have tried almost everything, but I just can't get xvideo and direct rendering to work with the i810 driver using Xorg 6.8.99.15.
- Kernel: gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6
- Xorg: xorg-x11-6.8.99.15
- Hardware: Samsung X20 XVM 1600 V
This is what I get:
| Code: |
(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available
(WW) I810(0): VideoRAM reduced to 7932 kByte (limited to available sysmem)
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
|
Looks like Xorg only recognizes 8MB RAM, but that is not enough for direct rendering etc. to be enabled
| Code: |
(II) I810(0): 15440 kBytes additional video memory is required to
enable tiling mode for DRI.
(II) I810(0): 3040 kBytes additional video memory is required to enable DRI.
(II) I810(0): Disabling DRI.
|
And what is this??
| Code: | | (II) I810(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: -545582944 kB available |
This is what is relevant in the Character devices section in the kernel:
| Code: |
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
<*> Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G (i915 driver)
|
And here DRI and Device section of my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "i915Chipset"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 131072
Option "NoAccel" "false"
Option "DRI" "true"
EndSection
|
Edited to add:
This is what dmesg says:
| Code: |
Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 915GM Chipset.
agpgart: Detected 7932K stolen memory.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xc0000000
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 11
PCI: setting IRQ 11 as level-triggered
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
[drm] Initialized i915 1.1.0 20040405 on minor 0: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller

Any ideas? I hate having a 1,6Ghz CPU and not being able to watch DVDs

Hi
Have you checked your bios setting?
It borrow's from your system memory

You seems to have 512Mb memory.

Seeams to me that you have set the bios to 8MB video memory. |
