As the help says (and also my first hand experience) it will break things such as the intelfb. Thanks for the tip. I do not use framebuffers at all, though. And, by the way, there are not yet drivers supporting it. So it's somewhat useless - I see :-/ Some further experiences with other kernels: - I've upgraded to the latest greatest xorg-x11; this move DID solve the instant crash on openGL usage bug, BUT it introduced some new problems: -- some calls to mplayer also instantly crash the X server. I did not yet get around to pinning this problem down exactly. -- Tests with glxgears show that as soon as I enable DRI, the framerate DROPS from about 500 to 50. HUH??? -- Sometimes when shutting down, the shutdown of the X server does not correctly reset the console - as soon as X-Server dies, some strange color pattens are all that remain visible. As long as the shutdown works, this is more of an annoyance than a problem, but if I want to drop to console mode, this WOULD be a problem. - Using kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.29-gentoo I get a problem during shutdown: The shutdown of ALSA hangs, and I can only stop the computer with the Alt-SysRq-Trick. The Alt-SysRQ shows that it seems to hang during a rmmod - removing the ALSA modules has problems at this kernel version. I'm using intel on board audio (intel-hda module). Sound works - it's only a shutdown problem. Ciao, Wolfgang Liebich
[gentoo-user] DRI doesn't work with xorg 7.4 and an intel chipset Q35 board
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

Puzzled, Wolfgang I'm not an x11 guru (also strugglimg with x from time to time), but if I understand well, there are important things in last kernels to support intel cards (mesa and kernel must be in sync some way).
