The problem:

DRI accelerated OpenGL works only on VT 7 (display :0). If I run X on VT 8 (:1), VT 9 (:2) or any other VT than 7, DRI doesn't work anymore (thus, OpenGL is software based and very slow).


Some outputs:

startx -- :0
jaakko@neptunium:~$ glxinfo |grep renderer
Mesa DRI G400 20010622 AGP 4x x86/MMX/3DNow!

startx -- :1
jaakko@neptunium:~$ glxinfo |grep renderer
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect


/etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "Device"
...
Option "DRI"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection


So, how do I enable DRI on other VTs? Is there some flag somewhere? I find no related topics from previous posts or google.

Thanks for help.

If you are using nvidia drivers the instructions say to delete the dri option from the XF86Config file. You should also remove glcore if its there and make sure glx is in the modules section.
