I'm trying to diagnose an issue I just noted in my mythfrontend.log. The error is as follows:
| Code: | X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8
Major opcode: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
Resource id: 0x6000ba
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 |
Not sure why that's showing up, as I had been assuming that, by compiling the i915 module, which I understood is the right one for my video hardware (VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation ValleyView Gen7 (rev 0e)) into the kernel, I would have what I need for it to operate. I have VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915" in my make.conf.
Researching the error message, I'm running across things that discuss video_cards_intel as offering a possible resolution. When I run "locate i965_dri.so" I get /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so. But closer inspection reveals that this is actually a symlink--albeit a broken one. It should be pointing to /usr/lib64/mesa/i965_dri.so, but there is no such file on my system.
So, can anyone offer an explanation of what I'm dealing with here? Pointers on how to fix this issue? Thanks. |

| Looking over the wiki item (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel) on Intel graphics, I'm beginning to suspect I may have indicated the wrong video hardware in make.conf when I set up this system. The wiki says VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" should be set for Gen 4-7 cards, and mine appears to be Gen7. So, another thing it seems I'll need to straighten out. It also recommends, after a change like that to make.conf, to run `emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world.` Am I reading it correctly? |
