There are 3 graphics drivers that "drive" your graphics hardware. First one is i915 kernel driver also known as KMS (kernel mode setting) driver. It is low level driver that drives the hardware. Second one is intel_drv.so (xf86-video-intel) 2D driver aka DDX (Device Dependent X) which is used for 2D drawing on Xorg Server. Third one is 3D or DRI2 driver, and as the name says it is used for Direct Rendering. For Intel cards, there are two DRI2 drivers available in Mesa stack: i915 for Intel 915 and earlier chipsets and i965 for Intel 965 series and later including HD3000 (SandyBridge) and HD4000 (IvyBridge). > Is this why 3d hardware acceleration is a NO? > I found the below in the _0-greeter.log GDM log:- > gnome-session-is-accelerated: No hardware 3D support. > I am wondering why you get that, too. I suspect the incorrect hostname setup might cause that. I guess that LIBGL_DEBUG will tell us what are you doing wrong. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
