I am slowly working my way though xorg with gcc5. My intent is to build
a relatively minimal installation and then press on to kf5/plasma5.
I've got xorg working, but the most recent package updates have changed
some messages that I would like to confirm.
I did set up an xorg video section to skip the search for nv, vesa, etc
drivers.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection
The system works fine with twm, but checking Xorg.0.log, I see
[ 720.981] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.
[ 721.131] (II) glamor: EGL version 1.4 (DRI2):
...
[ 721.277] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[ 721.277] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[ 721.278] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[ 721.278] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
glxinfo confirms that DRI is working, but I just want to confirm that
the 2nd set of messages above are bogus.
You had a similar issue on your previous build. The solution was not to use
glamor. It's probably working for Maxwell only atm.
I remember now. Changing "AccelMethod" to "exa" does the right thing. The only
reason I was using a video section at all was to remove the EE messages for nv,
fbdev, and vesa from the log. The man page says exa is the default, except for
GMxxx. I have a GT218 [GeForce 210] which is not documented in the man page. I
suspect the driver is trying to use glamor as the default for this card.
Using glamor above was not my first trial, but I did forget the previous issue.
Thanks for the reminder.
