Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to discuss that but I think
that the DRI troubleshooting page [1] should mention the possibility of
DRI not being there.
[1]: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting
I spend some wondering why GLX would not work on my ThinkPad R60 which
has an Intel 945GM card, a fully supported card as far as I know. It
turns out that gNewSense removes DRI and GLX completely from
xserver-xorg-core:
http://bugs.gnewsense.org/Bugs/00129
http://svn.gnewsense.svnhopper.net/gnewsense/builder/trunk/gen-xorg-server
The error I was receiving was:
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
One solution is to install
libgl1-mesa-swx11
But this is incredibly slow and it disables all 2D acceleration. I
personally prefer to live without GLX but with 2D acceleration. Maybe
there is a way to have Mesa replace xorg's built-in DRI and GLX
without hampering 2D acceleration but in short term I think it's worth
mentioning the possibility of libdri.so not being there entirely
because gNewSense doesn't document really well which bits it strips
off and why.
Best regards,
