Double buffering fail on r500 dri

[TechMage89]

I have just reinstalled Arch Linux, and finally got my driver stack rebuilt using the latest sources and PKGBUILDs, and my 3d does not work.

Here's what happens. I get this for my Xorg log:

(note: log truncated around interesting part b/c of message length limits)

That's pretty funny, especially the bit about initalizing scratch space in system ram!!! Then when I try to do glxgears, I get:

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

which is pretty strange, especially since glxinfo claims everything's working fine. So then I try to fire up celestia, and the window flickers madly, doing what I assume is single-buffer opengl drawing (massive, ugly fail).

What is the problem here? I have Mesa 7.1 rc4, xserver 1.4.99.906, and radeonhd and drm from git.

You should add Option "DRI" to your xorg.conf to enable 3D. See also radeonhd man page.

[TechMage89]

I did, and if I'd posted the whole Xorg.0.log, (which I couldn't, because the forum limits message lengths), you would have seen that DRI came up totally correctly by all appearences, and AIGLX even initialized.

I'm getting a similar problem but with the Intel GM965 chipset x3100 on ArchLinux x86_64.
Is it Mesa or something missing in the compile process? It would probably be good if one of the other distro's livecd comes out with the latest mesa to check.

[kadambi]

I have the same problem. Mesa 7.1rc3 was running fine on my Fedora 9 system with ATI X800. I have reverted back to rc3. I suspect something is missing during the compile process.

[Raedwulf]

Its that or mesa 7.1rc4 is broken.

[TechMage89]

Maybe Mesa rc4 doesn't work with Xserver 1.4.99.906, but only the xserver git head?

I'll try later, when I have time.

[Raedwulf]

I tried the xserver git head but a lot of other things didn't work :(.

[Zhick]

I had the same problem about rgb double buffered visuals missing, but updating X Server to git fixed it for me.

I'll give it a go then :)

[TechMage89]

I'm trying to install xserver from git now. Hello, dependency hell!

[hobbes]

I'm having this very same issue using Debian Sid.

This are my packages:

xserver-xorg-core:
Instalado: 2:1.4.99.906-1
Candidato: 2:1.4.99.906-1
Tabela de versão:

Candidato: 7.1-1
Tabela de versão:
*** 7.1-1 0

did anyone workaround this issue?

Please let me know.

[dungeon]

You must use xserver from git (or wait for final 1.5 release) with Mesa-7.1 or use 7.1 RC3 with xserver-1.4.99.906.

[towo2099]

This is not true.
The actual version of xserver-xorg-core in experimental is
2:1.4.99.906-2 and work without problem with mesa 7.1 final.

[dungeon]

Debian is really fast with those patched packages:rolleyes:.

[hobbes]

This is not true.
The actual version of xserver-xorg-core in experimental is
2:1.4.99.906-2 and work without problem with mesa 7.1 final.

Indeed, I just checked on this (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xorg-server_1.4.99.906-2/changelog) site and it says 2:1.4.99.906-2 as the newest version.

But, I can not get this package! Only 2:1.4.99.906-1.

Would you mind to share your experimental repositories with us?

Thanks for reading.

[hobbes]

Nevermind, I just noticed that there is no 2:1.4.99.906-2 package to amd64 SID.

On R500 use the radeon (git master), NOT the radeonhd driver.

I Just did that and also git clone Mesa/drm but the problem persists.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just an update.

xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.99.906-2 AMD64 hit the experimental repositories today.

Problem solved.

Thanks for reading.
