From: michael on 21 Mar 2005 13:40 Folks - sorry I'm no expert with graphics so apols if I get any terms mixed up. My problem is that I get the warning/error msg Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". I have just installed xlibmesa-gl-dev & xlibmesa-glu-dev and the above warning appears when I run vis5d, glxgears & tuxracer. From bug 286135 I see that this implies "normal behaviour for every app that uses mesa and DRI support is missing" My XF86Config-4 has a DRI entry (at the end all by itself), viz: Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection and the following appears in XFree.0.log (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI My graphics card is ATI RageXL I note I've not rebooted since installing xlibmesa-gl/glu-dev but I'm presuming that's not necessary. So, what do I need to do to ensure my DRI support is there/working and thus not get error/warning from Xlib?

Here's mine - I am pretty sure I have to comment out "GLcore" and add "dri" and "glx" (although its a while now since I did it) Section "Module" # Load "GLcore" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "record" Load "speedo" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection You might also need something like the following - obviously not the same, because I have a Radeon9200. Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon9200" Driver "radeon" Option "AGPMode" "4" # ChipID 0x4242 EndSection > > and the following appears in XFree.0.log > (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI > > My graphics card is ATI RageXL No idea if this particular card is supported > > I note I've not rebooted since installing xlibmesa-gl/glu-dev but I'm > presuming that's not necessary. > > So, what do I need to do to ensure my DRI support is there/working and > thus not get error/warning from Xlib?

There are three packages with the "ustable" DRI: Add these to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ I have an ATI rage pro (mach64) card. Note that these will install an xorg on top of your xfree! The xfree will still be usable but if the xorg works for you, go with it. Have /etc/X11/X symlink point to the one you want to use. There are a few other things to check in the XF86Config-4 and xorg.conf files as made and edited by the installation. The drm module itself must be compiled for your kernel. The installation will compile against kernel-headers for you. Once in its place, the mach64.ko (or whichever correponds to your card) if perfectly usable with xfree86. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
