The kernel configuration (at least menuconfig, which I use) has
| Device Drivers ---> Character devices --->
| <*> Direct Rendering Manager
| Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
|i830 driver
|i915 driver
Thank you!This work for me too.Now I only choose i915 and compile as module.
It works much well now!
If you can't tell for formatting, i[0-9]{3} are in the category `Intel
830M..." I had originally compiled them in, and you can only include
one or the other in the kernel. I had chosen the i830. It was the wrong
choice -- an easy mistake, considering both list the 845G as supported
and the 830 happens to be first.
I recommend, if you haven't yet, compiling the kernel with the
Intel drm drivers as modules. X will load the right one. In
retrospect, the kernel help messege told me how.
For what it's worth, you'll also have to have in xorg.conf:
| Section "Module"
| Load "glx"
|Load "dri"
| ...
| EndSection
|
| Section "DRI"
| Mode0666
| EndSection
And now the third line of glxinfo should show 'Yes'
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ glxinfo | grep direct
| direct rendering: Yes
and your glxgears will be nice and smooth, and, in my case, 67%
faster.
Good luck.

I switched back to using the kernel modules and it started working correctly. Remember, if you use the xf86-video-i810 package that you have to rebuild after every kernel rebuild and sometimes you'll also have to re-emerge the x11-drm package as well. Also, a mesa upgrade had broken my direct rendering and a downgrade fixed it. Another problem I had was leaving the Direct Rendering Manager option selected in the kernel config, but I had the xf86-video-i810 package installed, and that doesn't work as far as I know because of the different versions of agpgart. There are a ton of howtos available for the Intel cards, I'd recommend trying one at a time until you get it working. A good command line for a quick check is "glx-info | grep direct" Good Luck, Zack Grafton -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
