There are two major issues I have with the 2.X series of drivers from intel. 1) DRI does not work. 2) My fonts are abnormally large (making my gnome-terminals also larger). It seems my font DPI settings are being ignored in my xorg.conf. Attached you will find my xorg.conf, and some screenshots. The issues with 2X images occur both with and without the modline commented out in my xorg.conf. The good news is removing xinerama support from all applications/libraries seems to have corrected my system lockups with the 2.X series. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xf86-video-intel-2.X 2. Restart X 3. Work with GNOME/Run GLXGears. You can see the issue right away in GDM when you login and your username is twice the size it should be. Actual Results: See attached screenshots. Expected Results: See attached screenshots. Please do not deprecate 1.7.4 just yet :-) I've added it to my package.unmask just so I can easily switch back and forth.

Ok about your fonts, you just need to set the proper DPI using Gnome's appearance configuration applet. This is basically a known bug on xorg-server 1.3 which I think you're using. About DRI, I'm going to need more info. Could you please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? One last thing, please comment out those lines, they should not be needed anymore with newer servers: # 1024x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 64.11 MHz Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync DisplaySize 270.93333333333 203.2 Thanks
Created attachment 169768 [details] Xorg.0.log after X restart and glxgears call After commenting out the DisplaySize and ModeLine, a stop/start of xdm, and a quick glxgears call (still broken), this is the Xorg log.
Could you try disabling AIGLX? And for the display size, which one is correct? Your values of 270.93333333333 and 203.2 seem a bit weird to me... Thanks :)
This display size was calculated based ont his thread on the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-514639-highlight-.html Which basically is a calculation which created a 1024x768 desktop w/ 96dpi fonts. The following was added to my xorg.conf: # Added 2008-10-25 as per Remi # Debugging step to try and fix # direct rendering Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" EndSection X was started, and the DRI issue remains. I will attach the new Xorg.0.log.
Created attachment 169830 [details] Xorg.0.log with AIGLX disabled.
Created attachment 169944 [details] glxinfo with LIBGL_DEBUG set to verbose AIGLX re-enabled, glxinfo (verbose) output. I have tried rebuilding most of X, has not helped (after trying to upgade to xorg-server 1.5, one of the packages had a name collision so I had to roll back).
Ok, I masked a whole lot to upgrade Xorg 7.4 with xorg-server 1.5. My fonts in gnome look terrible (still working on that) but at least DRI works. My only issue now is that TTF is not supported, so my DRI is slow, but at least enabled. So, the solution to my bug is as follows: 1) Fix DPI in gnome. 2) Unmask xorg-x11 by adding ~x86 for all required packages (scripting this is highly recommended) and rebuilding X, also unmask the xf86-video-intel driver so you pick up 2.5.0 (which wont build unless you upgrade to xorg-server 1.5, part of unmasking to install xorg-X11-7.4)... So DRI is still broken, but for very different reasons that this bug originally stated. This thread talks about what is wrong: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-706953-highlight-glxgears.html
Could you be a little bit more precise? What versions are you currently using? Is there anything left to fix? Your last message is not very clear... Thanks
Upgraded to xf86-video-intel-2.5.0, xorg-server-1.5.2, x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4. It fixed DRI, but I get a warning about missing TTM and my FPS is less than 30.
TTM is gone, so that's normal. As for the low FPS, please check with glxinfo that "Intel DRI" is used, and not "Software Renderer DRI". If the Intel DRI driver is indeed used, then I guess there's nothing left to do but to wait for GEM to stabilize. It's the only way to get decent perfs for Intel hardware. I'm currently trying to push upstream to do some work on older chipset (so far, anything older than 965 may or may not work as they've barely tested those...) Thanks
It says: (glxinfo | grep -i rend) direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 852GM/855GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2
As far as I'm concerned, everything is fixed... (Probably not what you wanted to hear) For the performance side of things, we'll have to wait for GEM. Maybe you could also open a bug over at http://bugs.freedesktop.org ... Thanks
I agree this bug is fixed; the remaining issue is not within your control. Now I just need to wait for a slew of packages to be marked stable so I can cleanup my package.keywords. Thanks for all the help.
