This ticket is about indirect rending being disabled by default on Xorg 1.17. It can be enabled, in 1.17, by starting Xorg with the +iglx flag. An easy way to reproduce the issue is to run "glxinfo -i". Hi, How can the +iglx option be added to the X server arguments when using gdm? I've tried various settings for /etc/gdm/custom.conf that should do this but none seem to work. It seems setting the X server command in custom.conf is no longer possible. Are there any plans to revert the default settings to the 1.16 version? Regards, Rik (In reply to Rik Theys from comment #11) > Hi, > > How can the +iglx option be added to the X server arguments when using gdm? > I've tried various settings for /etc/gdm/custom.conf that should do this but > none seem to work.

The best you can do in the interim is replace the Xorg binary with a shell script that execs the real thing with +iglx prepended to the comand line. > Are there any plans to revert the default settings to the 1.16 version? Yes. May I suggest that this issue should be mentioned in the Technical Notes or the Release Notes as well? AFAICS both documents currently contain almost no information about the xorg-x11-server changes although there was a version jump from 1.15.0 to 1.17.4.

No need, i managed to make it work: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gdm-list/2011-September/msg00006.html Don't know what I managed to screw up before though.
