I can't reproduce this issue on our 945gm machine (with latest mesa) I'd suggest you try latest mesa from git.
I was having this same problem on Fedora 8, compiling the latest libdrm from git seemed to fix the problem, I did not have to recompile mesa.
i compiled drm from git installed libdrm.1.2.so and kernel modules now i dont have direct rendering... this appears in xorg.log (II) intel(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) intel(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 20 (II) intel(0): direct rendering: Enabled (II) intel(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message. (EE) intel(0): Could not initialize the DRM memory manager. (II) intel(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) intel(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xe04e5000 at 0xb7faa000 (II) intel(0): [drm] Closed DRM master. (--) RandR disabled blender seems to work but i think is because DRM is disable...
Hmm, your right, I didn't notice that until just now. I'll try to see if I can figure something else out, obviously this isn't the correct solution.
Thought I'd post here, too...(posted already on fedoraforum.org and bugzilla.redhat)...try starting a new session in KDE with a session already running (where blender fails), I'm able to run Blender in the second session. See if same works for you. Could get us by til a better fix. I didn't push Blender hard, though, so your mileage may vary.
you can run blender in a second session because it only enables direct rendering in the first session... the second doesnt have direct rendering... thats why you can run blender... check it runing glxinfo in your second session...tho, running gnome here...
I got this answer from redhat bugzilla where i submited this bug too: "sudo yum upgrade mesa-libGL --enablerepo=updates-testing That fixes the issue. The new mesa hasn't been pushed yet. Please test this out and then go to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-0094 to add karma to the package so it can be released. Please note this bug in your comments when adding karma." it works for me...
So it's redhat issue and we don't need to track here.
