 Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2022 8:30 am Post subject: Abysmal slow graphics with latest mesa on Intel D2500 |
 |
|
I have a bunch of old Atom d2500 machines I need to keep reasonably updated. The D2500 has the horrid old PowerVR GPU 
When I updated recently, the graphics performance went from "perfectly adequate" to "unusable". It's now so slow that you can watch it drawing a new xterm window.
After a bit of experimentation, I found that reverting to mesa-21.3.7 (I had to retrieve an old portage tree and copy it into my overlay for that) fixes it.
I found a post that mentioned removal of Intel drivers from mesa at 22.0 - does that mean my MoBo has been completely abandoned upstream? Or is there something I can change?

I'll have a play with mesa-amber and see if it helps |

RobPearce,
ASUS 1025C-amd64 GMA3600 4.14.209:XORG 1.20.8 fails - SOLVED is probably worth reading.
Its two years old and written around a different PowerVR GPU to yours.
Once upon a time there was a gma* mesa driver ...

Thanks NeddySeagoon,
I had already found that thread and checked that I was doing everything it said, plus my problem is rather different and wasn't a problem at the time that thread was last updated 
There is one thing, which is that he recommended the GMA3600 kernel driver, which doesn't seem to exist any more, but the DRM_GMA500 seems to be OK |

I tried mesa-amber and it doesn't help. In fact it completely breaks X (and locks up the consoles and keyboard, so I had to SSH in to remove it)

The egalax error is normal for this box. No other obvious (EE) entries in there.
I tried running startx from the SSH shell (obviously not expecting it to work) and saw a failed attempt to load a couple of non-existent modules:

RobPearce,
| Code: | | [ 29.284] (EE) egalax: module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's version (24) |
That's a very old egalax.
| Code: | | /usr/lib/dri/gma500_dri.so |
would have been the DRI Xorg driver but its gone.
Its not even in mesa-amber, so the best you will do today is with gma500? in the kernel anid Xorg using the modeset driver.

Yes, it's one I tried many years back but wasn't happy with, so I haven't updated it. Its presence is a bit of a zombie - there is no touchscreen on this box.

The kernel has the GMA500 DRM and X is using the modesetting driver. With mesa-21.3.7 this works great. |

RobPearce,
Share the Xorg.0.log with mesa-21.3.7 in use and with the newest mesa.
That's two pastebins please.

RobPearce,
Are you sure those pastbins are the right way round?
https://pastebin.com/3W6is1SN
| Code: | [ 31.185] (II) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed
[ 31.292] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[ 31.291] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[ 31.292] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver swrast
[ 31.292] (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer |
That's badly broken.
https://pastebin.com/pY91z0Rq
| Code: | [ 30.525] (II) modeset(0): glamor initialized
[ 30.873] (II) modeset(0): [DRI2] Setup complete
[ 30.873] (II) modeset(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: kms_swrast
[ 30.873] (II) modeset(0): [DRI2] VDPAU driver: kms_swrast
[ 30.887] (EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed
[ 30.901] (II) IGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[ 30.901] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 |
That's working go faster stuff.

Yes, absolutely. The file /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so does NOT exist in the old mesa build (which runs just fine) but is present with the one that draws like a snail.
Removing that file from the slow version makes no discernible difference. |

RobPearce,
That makes my head hurt - The idea that a badly broken setup is faster that one that appears to work.
What does show for both mesa versions please?

I don't have glxinfo, so I need to install it...
(I'm really not interested in fancy 3D stuff on this box, I just want normal application windows like Xterm or even IceWM to render smoothly)
OK, for the 22.1.7 (really slow) one:
| Code: | name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
|
(plus the following on stderr?) | Code: |
libGL error: pci id for fd 4: 8086:0be1, driver (null)
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open gma500: /usr/lib/dri/gma500_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: gma500
libGL error: pci id for fd 4: 8086:0be1, driver (null)
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open gma500: /usr/lib/dri/gma500_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: gma500
|
For the 21.3.7 (fast) one:
| Code: | name of display: :0.0
|
(and on stderr?)
| Code: | | Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig |
So it does look like the old mesa GLX stuff is badly broken, but for plain 2D window rendering that seems to be a Good Thing. Wuuuh? |
