XGL on a powerbook

[ibbumpin]

Ahh sorry I tried it with the 'ati' and 'radeon' drivers in my xorg.conf file and both now work for me. I have ATI framebuffer support compiled into the kernel as well. I'm on gentoo-sources kernel 2.6.15-r. I will upgrade to 2.6.16 for the wireless soon. Well good luck I'll post more info about my config when I get back home.

Here is my output:

http://www.sigil.org/~sarumont/xglerrors

Looks like it is having issues with DRM (go figure). I will try taking it out of my kernel and post back in a few....


OT: ibbumpin: you using softmac or the dscape for your wireless? I can bring the card up with dscape, but iwconfig will not do jack to it (as far as setting essid, key, etc.). Will probably try updating shortly and, if all else fails, softmac.

After removing DRI from the kernel, here we are:

http://www.sigil.org/~sarumont/morexglsuck

It still looks like it is having issues with finding 'radeon', but straight up X has no problems. I start fine and can run glxinfo/glxgears with no problems. glxgears *does*, however, seem to be slower than it was when I was using the kernel's radeon driver.

I'll dig a bit deeper sometime later...have to work for now.

Some how I broke my DRI because now when I run glxinfo i get the error:

Code: Select all

R300 DRI dirver expected DRM version 1.24.x but got version 1.20.0

I'm not sure how the versions got messed up. Has anyone run into this recently. I found a few threads on this but all the attempts to update the DRI driver has failed. I reemerged libdrm and and mesa but I still get nothing but the same error. This is frustrating

Well atleast I had DRI for a day

Any thoughts?

No idea what is up with your DRI.... mine is still sitting XGL-less.... Gotta go look at those Ubuntu forums!

[ibbumpin]

I really can't figure out how to get the DRM version to match. I can't find what file(s) I need to replace. I have removedand reemerged libdrm, x11-drm, xorg-server, mesa. I'm not sure why the mismatch occurs. Must be a bug in the current portage tree. I think this is the only problem I am having as I get not other "out of the ordinary" warnings.

When I was messing with it I did start getting X11 warnings that DRI couldn't load be cause the driver was old...reemergeing xrg-server fixed this issue though.

I guess I'll check the ubuntu forums now

Anyone got any ideas?

Okay... after the Ubuntu forums were of no help (no surprise) I did the following...

I went into /etc/portage/package.unmask and removed 'x11-libs/libdrm', and 'media-libs/mesa'.

This made me down grade to mesa=6.4.2-r3 and I still have libdrm-2.1_apha20060313

I then did

Code: Select all

rmmod radeon drm

to unload the modules and ran 'startx'.

Now I have Direct Rendering enabled again!! When I run Xgl it doesn't crash anymore but It doesn't work yet...I don't think I have it configured so that is a different story

I hope my struggles have helped someone...let me know if you want me to post more info.

Yeah, I looked, found nothing! Weird (I know something was there once).

I am now trying that....mine is emerging mesa 6.4.2-r2...hmm.

EDIT: Nope, still doesn't work. I get the errors:

Code: Select all

(something along the lines of FBDEV: FBIOBLANK: invalid argument)

and

Code: Select all

no visual format found

Argh!

[ibbumpin]

Have you tried the 'radeon' or 'ati' drivers?'

Instead of

Code: Select all

Option UseFBDev "true"

I have the line

Code: Select all

Option  "MergedFB" "true"

I had troubles with FBDev.

Which section? I don't have a UseFBDev option FBDev is the only driver that gives me the resolution of my screen in normal X - radeon gives me 640x480 for some reason

[ibbumpin]

Sorry I put those options in the video card device section...

I will post my xorg.conf soon...

Cool thanks! I will go see if it works.

Though it's not all clean a pretty here is my xorg.conf file...

It works with the DVI output mirroring when X is running. You may also want to try messing with the resolutions in the 'Screen' section. I added the resolutions there and they work for me.

Our systems may be a little different I imagine but I hope this or some of it helps you out. I am on a Powerbook G4 15" 1.67Ghz 512MB Radeon 9700 64MB

Both the 'ati' and 'radeon' drivers give me nearly identical results (I say nearly because I haven't stress tested either but they look the same and provide the same features "at a glance" )

After starting X my 'lsmod' gives me:
