What does it take to get hardware accelerated open gl working?
I'm running a mix of sarge and unstable (mostly sarge) w/ stock debian
2.6.8 kernel on an ibm t30. The graphics chip is an ati radeon mobility
M7, which is also identified as the Mobility 7500.
I believe xfree is configured correctly. I load dri, drm and glx. XFree
loads ati, r128 and radeon drivers.
I had the depth set to 24 and I would get this
<snip>
(WW) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed -- need at least 17325
kB video memory
(II) RADEON(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (1408,2978)
(II) RADEON(0): Reserved area from (0,1050) to (1408,1052)
(II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1408 x 1926
(II) RADEON(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA)
Screen to screen bit blits
Solid filled rectangles
8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles
Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion
Solid Lines
Scanline Image Writes
Offscreen Pixmaps
Setting up tile and stipple cache:
32 128x128 slots
13 256x256 slots
5 512x512 slots
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration enabled
(==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled
(==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled
(II) RADEON(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1052)
(II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1408 x 1923
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
</snip>
I changed the depth to 16 and I no longer get the memory error plus I
see:
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled
However, when I look in glxinfo, I still have "direct rendering: No".
What is necessary to get this to work?
Thanks,
Richard
