Public bug reported: I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 (Clean install) and while the new Gallium3D\r300g driver is much better than the older one, the 3D acceleration only functions when a TV is detected on the S-Video\TV-out connector.
When a TV is not detected, it falls back to "Software Rasterizer" instead. I have a Radeon 9600XT Bravo (VIVO Edition) When it's working I see in glxinfo output: OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV350 When it's not, I see: OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer For more information please refer to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1772614 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 9600xt gallium r300g radeon ** Summary changed: - Gallium\r300g doesn't enable 3D acceleration unless S-video ouput detects a TV. + Gallium\r300g doesn't enable 3D acceleration unless S-video output detects a TV. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793834 Title: Gallium\r300g doesn't enable 3D acceleration unless S-video output detects a TV. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
