Description David Hagood 2006-05-02 22:00:49 UTC

I am trying to enable the R300 DRI GL support (as the ATI supplied drivers won't
work with Modular X), but cannot get X to enable DRI.

I've pulled Mesa from CVS, built the "linux-dri-x86" target, and installed it.
However, no application will do direct rendering.

In Xorg.log, the following is logged:
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 12, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:02:00.0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 12, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 12
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:02:00.0
(EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed(EE) AIGLX: reverting to
software rendering

So the low-level driver is loaded, but the GLX module can't find *something* it
wants.

Since I cannot rebuild modular X (see bug #6815) I cannot go any further.

Hi, anything new on this topic?

I just got the same problem with X 7.0.99.903 (7.1.0 RC 3), Linux 2.6.16, mesa 
6.5 all compiled by gentoo ebuilds (~x86). The card is a Radeon Mobility X600 
(PCIe) using the opensource radeon driver.

Whenever I load the DRI module, I get the same error as you (Calling driver 
entry point failed).

The same with X 7.0.99.903 (7.1.0 RC 3), Linux 2.6.16, mesa 
6.5 under gentoo ebuild with an intel 855GM

Gentoo on a Thinkpad T41p with a FireGL T2 (Radeon M10) card using the r300 driver.

Comment 4 Nick Kurshev 2006-05-26 16:37:23 UTC

I've updated drm.ko and radeon.ko from DRI CVS and message

(EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed(EE) AIGLX: reverting to

was suppressed!

Then you need to add this patch:

to have glxinfo working!!!

It sounds like this was a Mesa bug that should be fixed in 6.5.1 or 6.5.2.
