Another day of probing finally got DRI working on my new machine: the basic problem was that Mesa needed recompiling with 'i810' enabled.
Naturally (wry smile), this led to another show-stopper: X starts with no errors in the log, but 'glxgears' & 'glxinfo' crash X. There is a brief "back-trace", but it shows nothing immediately useful. There are many reports via Google & Gentoo Forum of similar experiences, some of them as recent as Aug-Sep 2007, all involving Nvidia or Radeon, but none revealing a cause, let alone a solution. Might the problem involve a conflict between kernel/Xorg modules ? Is there some required combination of entries in xorg.conf ? -- 'man xorg.conf' is not the most helpful of documents, it not being clear what many of the options etc really do. The processor is an Intel G33 using drivers 'i810' & 'i915' ; kernel 2.6.22-r8 ; 64-bit system . Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
