Hi, I've a (somewhat new) computer with an intel Q35 chipset graphics. Until yesterday I ran the stable xorg-x11 version, with USE=dri and USE=opengl enabled. BUT as soon as I started a program which wanted to do something with OpenGL (like google earth, amarok with openGL use flag, or just glxgears), the xorg-xserver crashed. Absolutely reliably.
I found a comment about the incomplete support for openGL/dri for i915 graphic cards in the stable xorg driver, so I upgraded to xorg-x11 7.4 (with a whole lot of unmasking). Now I don't get a crash, BUT still dri don't work (didn't work earlier on, too - but I have no traces). I've loaded the drm module with debug=1, and found the syslog messages (snipped): [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 5 and [drm:i915_initialize] *ERROR* can not ioremap virtual address for ring buffer In Xorg.0.log I found following warnings and errors: (WW) intel(0): libpciaccess reported 0 rom size, guessing 64kB and (EE) intel(0): I830 Dma Initialization Failed I've tried both XAA and EXA - didn't change a thing. I've upgraded to 2.6.27-gentoo-r10 - no change. xdriinfo says: $xdriinfo Screen 0: not direct rendering capable. BUT: $ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes What can I do now? What is going on here??? Puzzled, Wolfgang
