I can not get Direct Rendering to work. What should I do? |
Posted by: Frank |
If
you can not get DRI to work follow this check list and make sure
everything is setup right. If you are still having problems after this
send a message to the mailing lists. You should also take a look at the
DRI Beginners Guide, a short step-by-step guide that points you to
other important documentation.
LIBGL_DEBUG environment variable to 'verbose' before running the glxinfo utility.
glxinfo should now return more detailed information as to what is going on.Also try downloading the DRISetup utility from the download page. It can give you more information on your X setup. Before you send an email to the mailing lists make sure you have looked at the other FAQ items and also the DRI User's Guide. Both contain solutions to many common problems. |

I
cannot get Bus Mastering working on a Voodoo3/Kernel 2.4.2 System
working. I follow the documentation but using setpci to enable Bus
Mastering has no effect. Can anyone help? |

Ok,
here I am trying to figure out why I can't get bus-mastering to work on
my Voodoo3 under Linux kernel version 2.4.2, so I check the FAQ -- the
only other two posts on this page are people in exactly the same
situation. I have used setpci as described in the users' guide, with
no apparent effect. If anyone has figured this out, please let me know
- my email address is [s d y @ z i l b e r . o r g] (spaces inserted to

You
should know that the FAQ comment system is not really intended for
correspondence with the developers, for that you should use the mailing
lists. |

I have an intel 810 video chipset and I can't get dri to work right. It is installed, and the glxinfo utility works, but reports that I'm using indirect rendering. XFree86 says that diect rendering is diabled when it starts up (n the console log). Any help? |

The problems with unresolved symbols or wrong version numbers are most likely related to your X server being out of date.

I attempted to install DRI, why? Because no where when installing rh 7.1 or on DRI's site did I ever see anything about rh 7.1 containing DRI. At first when i manually installed DRI, X would refuse to start. I then got the extras package hoping that would work, still no go. I then did ./install.sh --force to force the installation, it seemed to have worked and X started fine. I then tried running tuxracer, open gl game, and found it would no longer run. I then left X, returned to console and did ./install.sh --restore. Went back into X fine, opened tuxracer fine, but then it was horrifically slow to the point where it's near impossible to click on menu items. Tuxracer had worked fine before this whole fiasco, but I thought I might get a higher fps with DRI, which I had no idea was already installed. Now my question is, how can I get X and DRI back to the way it was before I installed DRI? |

Ahh, I finally figured out how to get my 8mb ATI Rage 128 Mobility working. I followed all of the steps in the documentation and the server would come up fine, but I could not get it to use direct rendering. It turns out (though I cannot find this documented anywhere online) that you need to set the resolution to 1280x1024 or less for hardware acceleration to be supported. |

I am running Mandrake 8.0 with a voodoo 3. The first time I installed the DRI drivers it crashed X. After I uninstalled and then reinstalled the X server came back. Now, however, I cannot get the direct rendering to turn on. Under the glxinfo it states direct rendering is not enabled. I have followed through the guides and for some reason it just will not enable the DR. It says the drivers are correct except the rendering string is Mesa GLX Indirect. |

Ok I went through all of the steps, checked them off as I went through them so I'm sure I didn't miss a step. For some reason I cannot get DRI to work. When I do an lsmod I see the radeon(which I am using) but I believe that is the one that was installed when I installed RH7.1. When I do a glxinfo it tell me I am running the mesa indirect. If any one has any tips that can help me out here I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. |

After
digging further and running the DRIsetup program, It says that "the
kernel module has not been loaded". How do I load the kernel module? |

I installed latest DRI for Radeon, gives me message that the module is newer, than the X-server. This is version 4.03 from Mandrake 8.0 and I installed the DRI version 0.7 with extras. X works 'sometimes' i.e. as root, not as user, and no 3D of course. Any ideas? |

I just installed Red Hat Linux 7.0 (not 7.1) and it contains XFree86 4.0 (not 4.1) along with kernel 2.2.x ... and my ATI Rage 128 3D acceleration isn't working at all ... what should I do? I'm new to Linux, but I'm an advanced Windows user ... I don't see any DRI or GLX lines in the XFree86Config file, but I do see something in an XFree86Config-4 file ... any ideas? |

I
have a problem with the ATI Radeon DDR VIVO AGP card and XFree86 4.1.0.
I cannot run X under any driver except 'vesa', although I have not
tried vfb, so I don't know if that works or not. Under the 'radeon'
driver, the whole system crashes. I can't reboot or anything. I read
in the X DRI docs that the Radeon has problems with the AMD Irongate
chipset under Linux using agpgart, and I assume this is where my
problem lies. My question is, Does anyone know of any patches or hacks
that I can use to get this card working at least in 2D mode using
something other than the 'vesa' driver? Thanks, |

I
have a 350MHz PIII with a Creative Labs Savage 4 and 2x VooDoo2 SLI. I
installed Mandrake 8.1, XFree86 4.10 and downloaded the DRI utility to
check my XFree config file. Everything was ok except a couple entries
missing in the Modules area. I had it make the change and restarted
the X-Server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). It came up fine, but when I start
any GL or 3D games, it is "dog slow" and laggy. These are simple games
such as Chromium and Tuxracer. |

I have a ati rage 128 mobility card. I have installed dri,but it doesn't seem to work. I am running redhat 7.3. I see documentation refering to the use of a program called drisetup, but there is no place to download it from. Does anyone know where this program is??? |
brad(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email) |
After
installing dri successfully, i couldnt get x to start. The error i
would get is something like "No DFP detected". I am running SuSE linux
8.0, with Xfree86 4.2.0. i have a rage 128 pro card. i downloaded the
sample XF86Config file from this website and installed it, and still
got the same error. Only was i able to start x after commenting out
the 'load "dri"' line...which kinda defeats the purpose. ive spent
hours posting and reading newsgroups trying al little of everything and
still no luck. if any body has a clue to what that error means please
let me know. |

I had a lot of problems getting my ATI Rage 128 M3 working. In the XFree86.log it just said: Direct Rendering disabled, while I had done all what was said on the User Guide etc. But I found the problem: I had to put the color depth back to 16bpp, and it ran all smooth. So maybe try this. |

As a current Gentoo user, I'd like to know how, exactly, I will get "corruption" using DRI. I have experienced no problems using DRI on Gentoo; perhaps the poster who had problems was using a development kernel and either ReiserFS and/or XFS for filesystems? :-D |
