Thanks to everybody for creating the pages with how to get X setup. For some reason I am having great difficulty do it.
I am running Debian SID. I got X 4.3 from experimental debian packages. I have tried numerous times to get 3d acceleration going. I am running 2.4.22-ac4. I did not compile it with DRM support, just agpart. I then compiled the kernel module from source provided by the package "xlibmesa-drm-src". I was following the directions on: http://www.terdmonk.com/thinkpad/#3daccel-update The radeon module seems to load perfectly. #dmesg |grep agp Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M agpgart: Detected Intel(R) 855PM chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000 #dmesg |grep drm [drm] AGP 0.99 aperture @ 0xd0000000 256MB [drm] Initialized radeon 1.7.0 20020828 on minor 0 [drm] Loading R200 Microcode I then start X. Everything looks good in /var/log/XFree86.0.log. # cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log |grep rendering (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled There are no errors in the log besides mouse errors (no usb mouse plugged in). The problem is that direct rendering is not enabled according to glxinfo and glxgears gets around 150fps. Has anybody else had these sorts of problems on debian? As a side note: I followed the directions on http://dri.freedesktop.org/Software/DriTroubleshooting At the buttom it suggests setting the env variable LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose. When I do this and run glxinfo I get: # glxinfo name of display: :0.0 libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 4.0.1 r200 (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No ... r200_dri does not exist. I am not sure where it should come from. Any insight is appreciated. thanks, dan borello
