Getting DRI working with Intel Sonoma (i915GM) chipset

[c_t]

Hi guys!
First of all thanks vinz for this great HOWTO! I have followed all described steps, patching and compiling xorg worked without any problems, unfortunately I cannot start the X-Server after compiling xorg with the patch applied.

Here is what I did:

Installed gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2 with the following options:

Code: Select all

#
# Ftape, the floppy tape device driver
#
# CONFIG_FTAPE is not set
CONFIG_AGP=y
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ATI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 is not set
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
# CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_EFFICEON is not set
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I830 is not set
CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set
# CONFIG_MWAVE is not set
# CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER is not set
CONFIG_HPET=y
# CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ is not set
CONFIG_HPET_MMAP=y
# CONFIG_HANGCHECK_TIMER is not set

Now I've tried to install xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 and xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4 both with the dri-patch applied. In both cases when I try to startx I get the following errorlog (the errormessages are pretty much the same with both xorg-versions!):

My laptop is a Samsung X20 1730 V.

Now here is the strange part: When I simply replace /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o with the binary provided by Alan Hourihane you can download at http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html the X-Server starts properly (without DRI though, glxgears gives around 300fps).

Do you have any suggestions what I should try to do? Do you think this is a kernel-side or an x-org-side problem? Has anyone gotten DRI to work an a Samsung X20? Which steps did exactly take and which versions are you using?

Thanks in advance, Christoph

This could be interesting, too:

Hmmm... Strange as that error message is typically from 6.8.2. Under 6.8.99.x you should have

X Window System Version 6.8.2

which means you're actually running 6.8.2.x. Could you just check that?

Yes your're right: Actually I'm running 6.8.2-r4, since with 6.8.99* replacing the driver with Alans Binary does not work.

But what I wanted to say: No matter whether I had 6.8.2 or 6.8.99 running, the error-messages which led to the server crash were the same! In both cases the server crashes with:

Edit 1:
I'd be glad if someone could simply mention his combination of kernel-/xorg-versions that currently DO work (including kernel-settings and xorg.conf please)...

Would you mind following the steps for Samsung X20, I think this is exactly what you need. Then post your results.

I also found that link; it is for Debian but can easily be adapted to Gentoo. The link to broadcom drivers for Linux is broken but here it is: http://www.broadcom.com/support/etherne ... rivers.php .

Would you mind following the steps for Samsung X20, I think this is exactly what you need. Then post your results.

OK, I now followed once again all steps described in the wiki. I was trying it with the following versions:
Kernel: gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10
Xorg: xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4
My xorg.conf is the one from the wiki. I even completely uninstalled X bevor merging xorg-x11.

I have patched the xorg-ebuild as described in this howto. When I now startx I get this Xorg.0.log:
Xorg.0.log
All the zeros where X tries to find out the valid modes are a bit strange, arent they?

Can anyone explain this? Thanks, Christoph

Edit 1:
Also without the patch I get similar errors. In any case the server refuses to start with the errormessage

The only way I've got X working by now was by emerging xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4 and then replacing /usr/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o with the binary from http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html

These zeroes aren't special nor abnormal. I have them too but Xorg works like a charm indeed. I have no explanation on why it wouldn't on yours. Maybe you can try a newer kernel, e.g. vanilla sources 2.6.15-rc[45]. Maybe it's a hardware/driver issue.

[skroll]

Figure I would chime in and say that I too managed to get DRI working with modular Xorg (7.0 rc2). I know it's a masked package, however, it worked right out of the box (compile) without any work. I simply had the I915 DRM driver compiled in the kernel, and it worked 100%.

That indeed sounds promising. Many people have reported it works well. I'll update the howto as soon as Xorg gets unmasked (or I get bored waiting )

Yes the dri module is commented out because the log complains its trying to load twice if I have dri loaded there and in the Device section the Option "DRI" "true" also being there.

I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I used to have this work fine on a slightly older computer (with i915 instead of the newer i945) without even needing the drm patch!

EDIT: I dont think this is very good... If I try to run one of those opengl xscreensaver hacks (like say 'queens') I get this error on the console...

Xorg 7 solved all the problems on my Asus Z33A. I built all the i810 drivers into my kernel (gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r4) including i915 support.



I installed it by following the instructions at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg. It was a simple procedure, taking less than an hour from start to finish (including compile time).

FYI, I had a problem with the synaptics touchpad driver. X7 looks for it in the wrong place. This can be solved with the following:

Code: Select all

# ln -s /usr/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so

[Or by getting a more recent version of the synaptics driver - Thanks c_t]

Good luck!

Edit: @purple_monkey: I know this is OT but simply updating synaptics to the most recent version (0.14.4-r2) makes creating a symlink obsolete since synaptics gets installed to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input now.

First, Thanks to everyone for the valuable information in this HOWTO. I also suffer from the i915GM chipset on my Dell B130 laptop. Following the directions in the original post brought my glxgears from ~400FPS to over 1100FPS. Unfortunately, that was not my main concern. I would like to take advantage of my wide screen; I'm running 1024x768 on a 1280x800 screen. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to run at my native resolution -- in console or X11 for that matter.

My vbetest doesn't even show the resolution!

Any ideas? Anything I can check? Thanks in advance.

First, Thanks to everyone for the valuable information in this HOWTO. I also suffer from the i915GM chipset on my Dell B130 laptop. Following the directions in the original post brought my glxgears from ~400FPS to over 1100FPS. Unfortunately, that was not my main concern. I would like to take advantage of my wide screen; I'm running 1024x768 on a 1280x800 screen. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to run at my native resolution -- in console or X11 for that matter.

There are a few things you might try:

• Upgrade your BIOS - Dell regularly ships new BIOSes with bug fixes aso
• Use masked kernels (e.g. vanilla sources 2.6.15.x series)

Here are the modes I have for 1280x800:

Code: Select all

[355] 1280x800 (256 color palette)
[356] 1280x800 (5:6:5)
[357] 1280x800 (8:8:8)

They might not work at all since I trust vbetest to read values returned by your video BIOS.

I was really excited about the possibility of the BIOS being the problem. Unfortunately, I have the latest revision. In addition, Windows runs in widescreen just fine. If I try using a masked kernel, then I will need to reapply the dri patch, correct? If vbetest reads straight from the BIOS then I don't see how the kernel would fix the problem. I'll try it out anyways...

Ow, too bad. Anyway stay tuned for further BIOS revisions.

That's one of the regular frustrations . I'm sure Windows uses (what I'd call) native modes of this chipset instead of VESA - which Xorg uses. And this is also why I'm asking so many times people who have tried the latest Xorg versions to see if the new i915 support now still uses Vesa or native modes...

If I try using a masked kernel, then I will need to reapply the dri patch, correct?

No, fortunately. The patch applies to Xorg itself, not the kernel.

If vbetest reads straight from the BIOS then I don't see how the kernel would fix the problem. I'll try it out anyways...

Because recent kernels have better support for i915. They might include patches that previous versions didn't. I hope so .

Just setup 2.6.15_rc7. No luck, vbetest shows the same screen modes and X still comes up in 1024x768. I guess Linux just doesn't support my laptop. Is there anything I can do to expedite support for my cheap laptop?

Has anyone tried Intel's driver located at: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts ... bmit=Go%21

[ExZombie]

My BIOS doesn't have correct modes for my screen also. I solved the problem with 855resolution. I simply set it to overwrite an unused resolution with my screen's native resolution and voila - xorg can now use it. I haven't tried framebuffer, but it might work, though not at boot time, since changes 855resolution makes are not permanent.

Have you tried one of the video modes I indicated? All you could get at worst is an error message "unsupported video mode"...

Yes, I tried those modes and I tried converting them to hex and adding 200h to them. They all cause "unsupported video mode". What's even more strange is none of my modes from vbetest work either. Apparantly the only thing setting my console video mode is the VESA default mode (FB_VESA_DEFAULT_MODE) option in the kernel. I do have VIDEO_SELECT=y.

It looks like you have enabled VESA-TNG instead of VESAFB. Follow the guide http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash again but enable VESAFB instead.
