Runnign glxgears yields the following error: Failed to initialize GEM. Falling back to classic. 3D works, as long as it doesn't say Option Legacy3D "off" in my xorg.conf. I'm running the following versions of relevant components: - kernel 2.6.28.1, dmesg says: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 on minor 0 - xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 - dri2proto-1.99.3 - mesa-7.3 - xorg-server-1.5.3 What seems to be wrong? I was told, GEM is supposed to work. I was hoping some helpful error message or warning somewhere, but found nothing in any of the logs. If you need more information, ask me.
Please attach Xorg.0.log and dmesg.
Created attachment 22775 [details] dmesg I have the same problem about "Failed to initialize GEM. Switching to classic mode." intel driver 2.6.1 libdrm 2.4.4 x11-drm 20080710 xorg-server 1.5.3-r1

I'm experiencing the same problem in gentoo. kernel 2.6.28-ri mesa 7.3 intel driver 2.6.1 libdrm 2.4.4 x11-drm --> not in use xorg-server 1.5.3-r2
You've installed old out-of-tree DRM modules. Don't do that, the kernel has the DRM modules.
(In reply to comment #5) > You've installed old out-of-tree DRM modules. Don't do that, the kernel has > the DRM modules. I don't. I'm using plain kernel 2.6.28.5 without any x11 relevant modules.
Sorry, I went from the only dmesg posted, which (if you're right) is someone with a different problem: [ 21.679826] [drm] Initialized i915 1.13.0 20080312 on minor 0 [ 21.679845] [drm] Used old pci detect: framebuffer loaded [ 21.680319] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 5 (out of tree module failure) You'll need to attach your own dmesg and Xorg.0.log as I requested.

Your dmesg is truncated. Are you using PAE maybe?
(In reply to comment #10) > Your dmesg is truncated. Are you using PAE maybe? I will try to upload a new dmesg taken from /var/log/messages. Yes, I am using PAE.

GEM doesn't work with PAE because AGP isn't ready for addresses over 32 bits. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 17993 ***
I have the same issue, however, I know that I am not using PAE, I recompiled my kernel and PAE is marked as off. I will attach my dmesg and Xorg.0.log
