I tested xorg-x11-7.0 on my gentoo ppc64 with 64-bit userland, and it worked fine except the dri stuff. I got the following errors when I ran glxgears: "Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual". Errors when I ran glxinfo: name of display: :0.0 Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual visual x bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer ms cav id dep cl sp sz l ci b ro r g b a bf th cl r g b a ns b eat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0x23 24 tc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x24 24 tc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 0 0 0 None 0x25 24 tc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None 0x26 24 tc 0 -1 0 r . . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None 0x27 24 dc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x28 24 dc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 0 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 0 0 0 None 0x29 24 dc 0 -1 0 r y . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None 0x2a 24 dc 0 -1 0 r . . -1 -1 8 0 0 16 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 None In the Xorg.0.log, I found: (==) RandR enabled (II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM ........ ........

I'm only able to start X when I use _Driver "fbdev"_. Could you please provide your xorg.conf so that I can compare yours and mine? I'll add ~ppc64 to the ebuilds when they hit ~arch. Or that is to say they leave packages.mask. ( I have bad experiences adding keywords to masked packages... )

I updated world, dri still doesn't work, but with different error messages when glxinfo is executed: name of display: :0.0 X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext Major opcode of failed request: 144 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 17 Current serial number in output stream: 17
glxgears works now, but dri doesn't.
Yang, what kind of Radeon Card do you have? This is just to prove that 9600 don't freeze the machine like 9650 or 9800 do. Someone in the forum is also getting a freeze with modular X as I do when using radeon driver: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-449179.html
Well, I use ATI Radeon 9600PRO for G5, Which is the original one when I bought my G5. Actually I am the "xyz" in the gentoo ppc forum. With my Radeon 9800XT card the xorg-7.0 freezed, as I reported in gentoo ppc forum. I haven't tried 6.8 or 6.9 version on ppc64 64-bit with 9800XT card, but in a chroot 32-bit userland xorg-6.8.2 works with this card. Regards, Dehua
Markus: Brian D. Carlstrom from linuxppc-dev told me that the cvs version of xf86-video-ati driver could solve this problem. So I tried the cvs from freedesktop.org and it worked with 9800xt card. Could you please make, or ask somebody to make, an ebuild for the cvs of xf86-video-ati driver?
With 9600pro using mesa-6.5 and xf86-video-ati driver from cvs dri worked on ppc64(64-bit userland). The glxgears was around 1200fps, as compared to 320fps without direct rendering. I slao noticed render acceleration was disabled. But no luck for 9800 card concerning dri, I tried to use dri with my 9800xt, but it freezed X. Without dri glxgears performed about 320fps for both 9600 card and 9800 one in my system. Is there something wrong with my system?
I tried mesa-6.5-r1, and dri worked with my 9800XT. Glxgears was around 3400, much faster than 9600PRO in my system.
Now the dri works under xorg-x11-7.0, so try to close this bug.
