We have a problem in the works here guys. I discovered this while trying to get some eye-candy out of KDE. I noticed it would not enable some stuff like transparency, etc. so I did glxinfo | grep render and it gave me this: Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager. Falling back to classic. If you google that, you'll find a lot of hits suggesting it's due to missing GEM support from the kernel. http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_28#head-b957b19f6139b6bbbfabaf790bf643b1746985d6 I dont know what would be easier, downgrade to an older xorg|intel driver or enabling support fo this in the kernel, which also requires a newer kernel. GEM support is still in development from what I see. Just thought I'd throw this out there. I can see this being a problem flooding the forums with "OMG I can't run compiz on this" threads. |

MOE..........try adding this to your device section of /etc/xorg.conf see if it makes a difference: Option "AccelMethod" "exa" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" Option "ExaNoComposite" "false" our intel driver might be to old for that but don't know till you try...:) Robert Robert Lange vec...@ya... http://www.vectorlinux.com --- On Mon, 8/17/09, M0E Lnx <m0...@gm...> wrote: > From: M0E Lnx <m0...@gm...> > Subject: [Vectorlinux-devel] Intel graphics problem > To: "Vector Linux developer's list" <vec...@li...> > Received: Monday, August 17, 2009, 7:45 PM > We have a problem in the works here > guys. > I discovered this while trying to get some eye-candy out of > KDE.

I wanted EVE-Online run on my desktop at work, which had intel X3100 (VL 5.9). I've tried intel drivers from 2.1.0 to 2.5.1 (2.6 and higher require xorg-server 1.4) with no luck in getting 3D effects work. As we stick to Xorg 1.4.2 that has xorg-server 1.3, I advice not to spend much time on this. I still have some knowledge of building libdrm, x11proto and xorg-server itself, but, honestly, I solved it by buying GF9400GT. I'd also suggest asking folks from SuSE or Fedora - they have it just working. -- ++luck |

I think vec has the intel problem taken care of On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 6:20 AM, Vanger <fa...@gm...> wrote: > http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090817#feature > > That may be an useful overview. > > -- > ++luck > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.

I can confirm that it is working fine on my laptop now. DRI is working out of the box. I have intel on my laptop and ati on my desktop. both work fine... of course, DRI is a no-go on ati, but that's no surprise... I dont expect that to work out of the box, but I do get a descent gui on first boot (1440x900) |
