 Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 4:18 pm Post subject: conky double buffer fails |
 |
|
i get this from conky:
| Code: |
Conky: failed to set up double buffer
Conky: drawing to single buffer
|
I have
in conkyrc
and i have
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
EndSection
|
in xorg.conf
is there a way to see if the double buffer extension works in or if there is something else weird going on?
please someone give me a start where to look. i hate having conky flicker...
i have some trouble with the ati driver, maybe thats whats wrong. ive tried to get it work for some time now... |

xdpyinfo should tell you whether or not double buffer is loaded, also grep the Xorg logs for (WW) and (EE) entries.
What window manager are you using, and what else do you have running?

thanks for fast reply.
xdpyinfo says nothing about dbe so i guess its not loaded 
| Code: |
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep \(WW\):
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(WW) fglrx: More than one matching Device section for instances
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "UseFastTLS" requires an integer value
(WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
(WW) fglrx(0): More than one displays are connected,so clone mode is enabled
(WW) fglrx(0): Probed monitor is 330x210 mm, using Displaysize 334x222 mm

|
| Code: |
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep \(EE\)
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
|
this give some hints why i havnt got fglrx working.. but it says nothing about dbe.. are they connected in some way? DRI and DBE?
| Code: |
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -i dbe:
(II) LoadModule: "dbe"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdbe.so
(II) Module dbe: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) fglrx(0): [pcie] 126976 kB allocated with handle 0xdeadbeef

"DOUBLE-BUFFER" is what xdpyinfo reports here, not dbe.

Ah, so you really don't have double buffering working then.
Check the Xorg log and see if there is anything after it says "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdbe.so"?

I meant look through it yourself, there could be something relevant which doesn't contain "dbe" so that grep command would miss it.
Edit; nevermind, you beat me to it.

That's pretty much identical to what I get.
Why the hell is xdpyinfo not listing it though?
Was it working for you before?
Have you updated anything recently?
