my situation is the following. i use gentoo-source 2.6.14 and dri-drivers using x11-drm .
my chip is found by agp:
| Quote: | dmesg | grep agp

agpgart: Detected an Intel 915GM Chipset.
agpgart: Detected 7932K stolen memory.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xa0000000 |
the dri-drivers are recognized:

i have the dri card file:
| Quote: | dir -l /dev/dri/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Jan 1 19:55 card0 |
but still xorg bails out on my using i810 driver with:
| Quote: | (II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100,
i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(EE) No devices detected. |
( xorg is version 6.8.2-r6 )
i have no clue why it does not work as there are no errors in dmes or anything else. the driver SHOULD work but somehow xorg seems to ignore it. as you can see it only lists 915G, but not 915GM, which the dri-snapshot though should provide.
how comes xorg ignores this driver? or rather, why can't i get it working? |
I think you need to specify the correct PCI ID for the controller in your Xorg.conf file as it is choosing the wrong one.
| Code: | | [drm] Initialized i915 1.2.0 20041217 on minor 0: |

Although I could be wrong. I don't have my Laptop in front of me to check my settings. I know for the i810 I had to set the PCI correctly in Xorg.conf for it to correctly pick up the display. |

Has anybody solved this stupid BusID-Error with i915GM?
Waiting for months on a solution...

If you mean the warning (WW) in Xorg log about the device section that is not found, it can be safely ignored. If you talk about the resource allocation error message that you get at boot with kernels >=2.6.14 (which is in fact a warning too) it can be safely ignored too.

The first, but it's also an "Warning". I don't like warnings, sth. seems to be wrong.
Does anybody know the mail-adress from the i810/915/945-Developer?

Since I come from the Windoze world, I've seen many things like: nothing works, there's no warnings, no error messages nowhere in the event logs or maybe informational messages that nobody understands (well, me at least)...
Here I have just a warning message but my system is fullly functional. I personnally prefer that situation to the former and I can cope with it. But it's just me.

Should be dri-devel at lists.sourceforge.net if I've understood.

Thanks, I unterstand what you mean, Windows in general is a failure 
Is it a good apology, when I say I am a kraut? Exactly, thoroughly, other stupid things...
There is a little bug, a bug...we will all die

What is a kraut? (I suppose it's german?)
EDIT: I suppose it's german = I suppose it's a German word? (Not that kraut = German)

It's not a problem.

I think it is okay to paste it here.

the dri developerseems to be right.
| Quote: | | (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found |
its only a warning for the second device of the card. is not connected witch this:
| Quote: | | (EE) No devices detected. |
instead it seems that the version of your i810 module in xorg does not support the chipset.
with kubuntu-live 05/10, the i810 works for i945g chips:
| Quote: | | (II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100,i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915),915GM, 945G |
| Quote: | II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o
(II) Module i810: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.4.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7 |
with gentoo x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 i got
| Quote: | (II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100,
i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G |
and on (xorg-)module loading:
| Quote: | (II) Loading /usr/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o
(II) Module i810: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.3.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7 |
as i see, there is a different module version (1.3.0 vs 1.4.0).
but how to build only this module in newer version for xorg-x11 (without umasking xorg-x11)?
any tips?

hey there
i have here a fresh install of gentoo with modular xorg on my laptop here
before i hade ubuntu hoary and ubuntu flight dapper current rc.
on ubuntu x and dri did its job very fine.
now i am on gentoo and had many probs.
first i installaed xorg-x11 and on a startx he said: i810...bla, no such device...
then i followed the wiki and the modular xorg howto. now x is starting very well( is it much faster in starting up against non modular X?)!
But: glxinfo says: direct rendering: no!
damn 
any tips? i have vanilla sources and kernel 2.6.15.1 all agp,drm,i915 drivers built as module. any trick there?
why did x his job with dri very well on any other distri, same xorg.conf, same kernel.conf. what could be prob?
i know that xorg can handle the chip in my book! i played quake3 on high details very well!
i tried so much..  |

^^^ here you can see that he is searching for /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i915_dri.so!
but this file doesn't exist!
in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers there's no dir called dri
i did a locate i915_dri, this is what i get:

hi, after symlinking i get this:
| Code: | flo@localhost ~ $ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 1.4.1 i915 (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i915_dri.so

drmOpenDevice: open result is 4, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 4
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:00:02.0
libGL error:
i915 DRI driver expected DRM version 1.4.x but got version 1.1.0
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
display: :0 screen: 0

|
is there any version conflict? i think, yes there is, and i think its from an early i915-snapshot installation-try 
in which package are the i915 dri drivers? (i have modular x) should i re-emerge mesa? i will try and error |

lol
all works fine

Hi all!
I know I'm new in this thread, but I've read everything very thourughly and thus found no answers =(
But it seems that VinzC has exactly the same problem as me. No problems with kernel modules and no real errors in the XOrg log... but somehow everything just looks funny. No wallpaper in xfce, scrolling doesn't work, mouse cursor is missing, computer freezes on ctrl+alt+backspace and so on.
I have an i915GM, using Modular XOrg with i810 driver.
Any hints are very very appreciated. I so much want Xgl to work =)

did you a install of:
-synaptic
- the modular org -evdev-driver
these are for your touchpad(like scrolling, tipping...)
and did you a install of the xorg-cursors? |

In fact I *had* troubles in the beginning. As mianos said, you must emerge package synaptics and add the related section to your xorg.conf. I don't know if it's the same with the modular Xorg but there are different configs for Alps and Synaptics. I've googled to find appropriate parameters each time, once for Alps, once for Synaptics.
I think my Dell i6k had an Alps touchpad while the i9k4 has a true Synaptics. Note I didn't use modular Xorg and am still not using it.

Yes yes yes! Made it work!
So this is what to do:
| Code: |
host~ # ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.0.1-r3.ebuild unpack
host~ # cd /var/tmp/portage/xorg-server-1.0.1-r3
host~ # find . | grep xf86Bus.c
|
Open xf86Bus.c with nano and comment out "ValidatePci();".
Now recompile the manipulated source code like this:
| Code: |
host~ # ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.0.1-r3.ebuild compile
host~ # ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.0.1-r3.ebuild install
host~ # ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.0.1-r3.ebuild qmerge
|
For me everything is working fine now. Even accelleration. I don't no if this method has any downsides as compared to VinzC's patching method. And I don't really know how/if this fix is related to it.
Anyways.. this only takes 5 mins (except for re-compiling).  |

| I checked out the source code in Xorg 7.0 and it seems that the patch/workaround is included in lnx_agp.c. Conclusion: If you use modular Xorg, you have to comment out ValidatePCI() in the source code... supposing you have the "my x looks really f*cked up when I use i810 driver" problem |

I think I have the same problem (on laptop Asus W5)
I have an i915gm with Modular X on KDE. I have DRI enabled and 1200 fps with glxgears but there is a big annoying slowdown.
When I click on any icon, the little expanding square takes about 2seconds to expand.
Also the videos are very slow.
But, when glxgears is running everything runs fast again... and the videos play right.
Where on earth this may come from
