No hardware acceleration after upgrae to Xorg 7.0x

[raid517]

Hi I upgraded to the latest xorg 7.0x build - and so far everything seems to have gone relatively smoothly. The only thing is I don't have any hardware accelleration with my video card any more.

My video card is an on board intel 900 and is based on the following chipset:

http://www.asrock.com/Product/775Dual-915GV.htm

I looked in my xorg.conf and it said that the driver it was using was an intell i810 driver. However this appeared to work fine and didn't seem to cause any difficulties.

Looking at my xorg.log file everything appears fine, except that it complains about a bunch of missing fonts and font paths. (I assume some of the paths to these fonts have changed?)

I have attached my xorg.conf file below. can anyone please give any hints as to what might be going on? I have modprobed the i810 driver and it appears to be loaded OK.

I also read this (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-i810/+bug/36415) Ubuntu bug report which appears to be identical to mine, except that I have libgl1-mesa-dri 6.4.1-0.4 which as I am using Kanotix which is debian Sid, is I believe an official debian package.

So I'm not sure at all where the conflict is comming from. Also I have no idea how to go about downloading and installing the new i810 driver from CVS to try it out. How exactly would I go about that - and does anyone have any ideas what may have caused this fault originally?

Thats just an X bug
everybody made a big stink about how not enough people could commit to xfree
so everybody and his cousin can commit to xorg
the thing has been chock full o bugs ever since
i guess try a newer snapshot
if you are lucky you might get rid of that bug and not catch a new one

[raid517]

That's not entirely accurate. It turned out that I had forgotten to load agpgart (or that it wasn't being loaded automatically).

As for Xorg V Xfree - Xorg took X where Xfree would not have gone for perhaps another several years. It is not bug free - but it has far more potential and is much more flexibly designed than Xfree could ever hope to be.

Xfree is a dead project - and that is exactly the way it should be.

whatever
i'm glad you got it sorted.
the output you cited

ERROR! sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device driver


was in the xorg changelog as a bug where someone changed the size of I830DRIRec
without changing it i guess in screen init.

Xfree is not in any way dead by the way. (just a fact not a flame)

much more flexibly designed


as a software designer i have to wonder what that means
generally it is a term used to describe object oriented designs for reusable code clases in c++.

but generally "flexible" is one of those hollow buz words like "democracy" that hold very little actual meaning.

with that said xorg is doing some cool stuff i'm just not so sure i like that cool stuff they are doing (copying winblows and apple as best i can tell) but it seems they are improving underlying hardware acceleration which is good and havn't released a fully stable thing yet which is bad.

it's a grey world out there if you fully consider reality
reality can never be so black and white

Hi RAID517
Im a complete noob to all this but have the same error as you had. I installed kanotix (easter pre release) on a 945G mobo. Based on your comment above i added agpgart to /etc/modules. I now see this in lsmod but still the same error.
If you had any tips? Even how do i check what version of Xfree86 im running would be a good starting point.
thanks

[nickytl]

as an update,
I fixed this by replacing two files as outlined here
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/03/msg00922.html

now ive a opengl working but a new error

i don't know if its related, but my understanding is that xorg7 is in a new location from xorg anything else.

When I go to load the ATI drivers back on after and upgrade from xorg 6.8 to xorg 7, ATI drivers can't find my xorg 7.

Haven't solved it yet, but maybe that will help you out.
