DRM synchronized on RELENG_6 at Florent Thoumie

Published February 3rd, 2007 in FreeBSD

I just MFC’ed latest DRM changes in RELENG_6. If you happen to have a i965-based chipset and couldn’t get dri working, this is your lucky day

I’m very happy with this, it’s my lucky day , but…

Today February 5, I make cvsup with RELENG_6, make kernel and install, and don’t work. When I run glxinfo, say Direct Rendering: No. I try with a live cd (korogaa) and works well, glxinfo say Yes to direct rendering:

What I make wrong?

Sorry by my poor english.

Thanks on advance.

You need to load the dri module and change mode to 0666 to be able to use it as an unprivileged user. Have a look at http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/troubleshooting.html. Think it’s a bit outdated but that might help you.

Unfortunately, the 965 still won’t work because we don’t have AGP. I’ve got some WIP patches, but they don’t work at all yet.

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting is the current location of the troubleshooting page.

it looks like even when we have agp now, drm still fails to probe at least my gma x3100 card
i’m running current on my hp 6510b and would be glad to help if you need any debugging etc.
