[gentoo-user] libGL issues & AIGLX slowness

[Marco Calviani]

Hi all,
   i've managed to install the radeon opensource drivers on my Radeon
9700 laptop (with also direct rendering enabled). However, whenever i
launch a 3D application the following error appears:

libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

In addition to this i've tried to enable AIGLX, it works (that is it
starts), but it is VERY SLOW, and i think this is related to the
preceding error.

NB: i'm not using any overlay, just what is normally available in Portage.

Any ideas or experiences on this?

Thanks in advance,
M

PS: From here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6689
it seems that this error should be purely "cosmetic".
Can someone confirm this?

I am getting the same error, but with Fluxbox as my default WM I haven't tried 
AIGLX.  glxgears seem relatively slow comparatively to the old monolithic 
xorg.  I've posted about this error in an earlier message on xorg upgrade.

I've tried following completelt the AIGLX guide
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX but without result. Actually the
nice effects are on, but it seems that the indirect acceleration is
not active........
