I recently upgraded to xorg 7.0 and am experiencing strange problems that seem to be related to GLX (I think). I first noticed that playing back video seemed choppy, with a perceptible pause at 5 second intervals that was not there previously (xorg <= 6.9). I then tried some 3D apps and found that glxgears and glxinfo had been removed in the upgrade. I re-installed them with the mesa-utils package.
Now, when I type glxinfo I get the following output: $ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual visual x bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer ms cav id dep cl sp sz l ci b ro r g b a bf th cl r g b a ns b eat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0x23 24 tc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x24 24 tc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 0 0 0 None 0x25 24 tc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None 0x26 24 tc 0 -1 0 r . . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None 0x27 24 dc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x28 24 dc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 0 0 0 None 0x29 24 dc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None 0x2a 24 dc 0 -1 0 r . . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None For the same reason glxgears fails to run. My Xorg.log also contains some suspicious lines, which seem to be related to the above error: ===========excerpt from Xorg.0.log==================== (II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE (II) Initializing built-in extension XEVIE No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 4294967295 (**) Generic Keyboard: Core Keyboard (**) Option "Protocol" "standard" ================================================== Googling led me to http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg69To7 where it is explained in "DRI with i810" that some of the newer drivers (the i810 in particular) break mesa. However, I am using the radeon driver on an HP nx6125 [ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)]. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Any fixes? (I suspect that my apparent lack of 2D acceleration is related to these problems also, but can't be sure.) Other relevant info. I had recently installed the proprietary version of fglrx 8.25.18 but was not using it when I upgraded (I had reverted to the radeon driver. Further, the fglrx driver was removed during the upgrade).
