 Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2008 4:00 am Post subject: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.6 with GEM works GREAT! |
 |
|
Hi there,
yesterday I did a | Code: |
playman -a x11
paludis -s x-x11
paludis -i x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
|
(after I installed zen-sources-2.6.28-rc9) and what shall I say: it works great!
Everything worked out of the box. I tweaked xorg.conf in order to use UXA.
OpenGL performance is great (glxgears gives me 1600 frames now instead of 650 before). And I can play NeverwinterNights again, that always core dumped with any x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.5
So just take my note: it seems to be quite stable already. Not one issue so far. Totally happy now after a dark period with intels graphic.
regards! |

Care to post the relevant sections of your xorg.conf? I tried upgrading to the latest ~xf86-video-intel (2.5.1-r1 from stock ~amd64; this seems to be ahead of the one in the overlay, right?) as well as to 9999 (plus libdrm) from the x11 overlay, but I still don't get any acceleration. I'm running vanilla 2.6.28, and my video card section reads as follows:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
Option "DRI" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
EndSection
|
Anything I'm missing? I kind of want to play stepmania again.  |

it's a forum member's poor replacement to portage. it's not supported by the devs last time i checked. |

What version of xorg-server you use? And you use xf86-video-intel-9999 or xf86-video-intel-2.5.99.1 ?
imho we need xorg-server, mesa, libdrm and intel drivers from x11 overlay. |

Used xf86-video-intel-9999, that pulls just the rest. |

@NightwalkerPL
Try this:
| Code: | | qlist --installed --nocolor |sed -n '/x11-drivers/p;/x11-proto/p;/x11-base/p;/x11-libs/p;/x11-apps/p'|xargs emerge -Cva |
I don't believe x11-apps or x11-libs are necessary in their entirety (or at all), but when it comes to cleansing, it's better to be on the safe side. |
