hi guys,
my laptop: thinkpad x230
| Code: |
$ lspci -v
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21fa
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 40
Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at 5000 [size=64]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
Kernel driver in use: i915
|
startx log:
| Code: | | libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 |
kwin failed using OpenGL backend with this error.
but my video driver is i915 :
| Code: | gentoo ~ # ls -l /usr/lib64/dri/i9*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 16 21:55 /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so -> ../mesa/i915g_dri.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 22 10:03 /usr/lib64/dri/i915g_dri.so -> ../mesa/i915g_dri.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Oct 16 21:55 /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so -> ../mesa/i965_dri.so |
the i965_dri.so didn't exist. it's a broken link file. '/usr/lib64/mesa/i965_dri.so' file didn't exist.
| Code: | # ls -l /usr/lib64/mesa/

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17864792 Oct 22 10:03 swrastg_dri.so |
my make.conf:
| Code: | gentoo ~ # grep intel /etc/portage/make.conf
VIDEO_CARDS="intel" |
mesa's USE just active the intel, I add i915 USE emerging the mesa
| Code: | # emerge -avj mesa
[ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-9.1.6 USE="bindist classic egl gallium llvm nptl shared-glapi -debug -gbm -gles1 -gles2 -openvg -osmesa -pax_kernel -pic (-r600-llvm-compiler) (-selinux) -vdpau (-wayland) -xa -xorg -xvmc" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 -python2_6" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -python2_6" VIDEO_CARDS="i915* intel -i965 -nouveau -r100 -r200 -r300 -r600 -radeon (-radeonsi) -vmware" 0 kB |
when I restartx , this error didn't disappear.
| Code: | gentoo ~ # eselect mesa list
i915 (Intel 915, 945)
[1] classic
[2] gallium *
i965 (Intel 965, G/Q3x, G/Q4x)
r300 (Radeon R300-R500)
r600 (Radeon R600-R700, Evergreen, Northern Islands)
sw (Software renderer)

[2] gallium * |
how could I make the startx use i915 not i965 driver. thx

i915 is the correct kernel driver.
Mesa needs to be emerged with JUST the i965 driver.
xorg with intel driver.
It seems really backwards choosing a different driver in each place but it works. I also have an x230 & found the answer somewhere on these forums previously.
Hope that's everything you needed to know?
[edit]
Just for clarity, set VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" in /etc/portage/make.conf, then:
| Code: | | VIDEO_CARDS=i965 emerge -av mesa |
I'm sure there's a neater way of doing this, but it works none the less. |

Why not include all Intel related graphic cards in the variable
| Code: | | VIDEO_CARDS="i915 i965 intel" |
than
| Code: | | emerge -aDNuv world |
and let the Xorg Intel driver and the Mesa library pick the Opengl version they want? You can activate the uxa USE flag for the xf86-video-intel. It will make this acceleration method available and often use with the Intel driver.
| Code: | | echo -n 'x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel uxa' >> /etc/portage/package.use |

| There was an issue with the i965 mesa driver not working properly if the other drivers were available too...That may have been fixed by now though, I haven't honestly checked. |
