HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

[Lem]

I have a Via Epia M10000 board with a C3 processor. I've tried to use your instructions as listed above, but to install the via DRI driver for Unichrome.
All looks good, but I get the error saying it can't find a kernel config file. I've made sure I have linux-header etc. installed.

I'm currently using the default 386 kernel.. is this the right one for my chip?

[assan]

I have interesting hint, after reading http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...penGL_on_Linux

I run anoher check
~$ glxinfo |grep rendering
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
direct rendering: No

Any idea how to correct it. What is and where is fbconfigs?

[assan]

if the installation script "FINISHED OK" why the hell do u think there SHOULD BE any problem?

well I rerun install script and there were errors:

Installing files:
DRI XFree86 modules...done
kernel modules...done
GL & GLU libraries...done
core libraries...done
Copying extra files...done

Updating configuration:
Running ldconfig... Removing old kernel module "i915"...ERROR
Inserting new kernel module "i915"...done

There were errors updating the system configuration.
See the dri.log file for more information.

Checking configuration...ldd: /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu [it means there is no such catalog or file]

second copy of DRI libraries found in
libraries have been backed up to dri-old.* in

done

what is wrong?

what is wrong?:confused:

alright.. i915 video cards have a different module driver.. am not sure why u are using the savage howto for that.
anyway this will work for i915 as well but u need to download a different package:

wget http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/i915-20050718-linux.i386.tar.bz2

The "common" package remains the same. now follow all the other instructions (untarring and installing and see what happens)
also delete the dripkg directory before u download this package.
untar the "common" package first followed by the i915 package.

also make sure u have the "common" package with the same release date as the i915 package (that is 20050718)

[assan]

I did install with 20050714 version common and i915.
few moments ago I did with 20050718 and it is the same:

FATAL: Module i915 is in use.

More ideas?
I installed everything with i915 driver this time and previously

[arnieboy]

alright try the following:
press ctrl-alt-F1 . u will go into console mode.
there log in with your user name and password and do the following (write this down somewhere because u wont have any browser to copy from there):

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

now do

cd dripkg
sudo ./install.sh

now do a

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

and enjoy DRI.

[assan]

I will try that in a minute

[assan]

unfortunately no change, still no fbconfigs.
Little deppressed going to sleep.
Maybe tomorrow I will be more lucky with DRI...

[assan]

I received answer what is wrong from Roland Scheidegger dri-user list.
Problem is I have in Xorg old ddx (2D) driver version 1.3 and should be 1.4.x and is 1.3.0
Strange thing is it should be ok in xorg 6.8.2 like in hoary and breezy. Solution is to install xorg 6.9 what will be my next try.

Problems, problems, problems.....

dri.freedesktop.org is out.... I can't download common and savage files...

Can someone send these files to me ??


Edited: Ok this is not a problem anymore.... dri.freedesktop.org is back ! I've downloaded and save the files I need. Thanks !
