[gentoo-user] aiglx vs 3d

[oskar kapala]

Hi,

Another ati problem. I wanted to try some eyecandy effects. I don't
like gnome so I install aiglx and beryl which are more compatible with
kde.

I have ati radeon xpress 200 on amd64. When I add an option

Option "Composite" "Enable"

to my xorg.conf my 3d accel is gone:

(II) fglrx(0): Composite extension enabled, disabling direct rendering
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                  *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *

Normally 3d is working ok (more less). I'm useing xorg-x11 7.1 and
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.29.6.

Thanks,
oskar

Hi,
Not sure for ati cards, but with an nvidia one i have to add, "Option 
GLXwithComposite 'true'" to the device section to get 3d and the 
composite extension

I have the same hardware, and the same problem too.

I already tried it, but it didn't work. I've searched everywhere, but 
nothing helped to make this work. Does anyone have a clue?

hi
AFAIK, the proprietary ati drivers don't support compositing and the xorg drivers don't support dri for r400 chipsets
i.e. aiglx doesn't work for the xpress 200m :(
i've read somewhere that xorg is working on dri for r300 & r400 chipsets. we have to be patient.
best regards robert

The composite extension is not necessary for AIGLX or XGL.  Leaving it
disabled is fine.  Follow the directions at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX for more information.
