I've also experienced a few complete lockups when testing this so there's most likely something wrong with the driver, rather than the configuration.

Just a datapoint. glxgears works for me with the intel driver on a HP Compaq nc6400 laptop:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Kjartan, are you using rawhide?

which package version?

Yes. I'm using rawhide with the same version of the driver that you listed above. Are you using compiz? :-)

nope, I can't use compiz, because i can't get any GL to work at all :/

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

This still occurs for me on a mactel mac mini. Fresh install, no xorg.conf at all. glxinfo reports everything is fine, glxgears thinks things are fine, but only produces a black box. compiz crashes the machine hard. I can upload a smolt profile if that would be helpful.

I'm having the same problem on my MacBook running Fedora 10. However, it disappears (i.e. glxgears works fine) after resuming from suspend to RAM.

I got here after failing to enable opengl rendering on mythtv.
Found afterwards I couldn't run compiz and saw I get the same black box when running glxgears.

This is all on an intel mac mini.

Compiz gives this error:
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

although glxinfo shows GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is present.

I am running up to date F10 with no xorg.conf ...
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-4.fc10
kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10


Smolt : http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_1047b16c-1ecc-452d-a99a-294c11c19f20

Doing some testing as suggested by some other posts to see if forcing XAA would help.
Major crash of X resulted ...

Hi,

As of updates yesterday, this bug has gone for me.
I can now see glxgears again :-)

I still have the problem, all most recent updates (i think) I've got package version xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-4.fc10.i386 it's definitely not fixed here.

Try to upgrade tomorrow (so that we are sure it is not something about slow mirrors) and let us know.

can someone tell me which package version is supposed to be working? I can't find any package newer than xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-4.fc10.i386 in the updates or updates-testing repository. 

If I have the newest version then waiting for an update isn't going to help, especially as I disabled the mirrors and tried to get an update directly from fedoraproject.org

I will check my yum log and see if I can spot which it might have been.
There wasn't an i810 driver update though from what I can remember.

I tested after I had these updates come through when everything worked:

Feb 15 10:23:56 Updated: selinux-policy-3.5.13-44.fc10.noarch

After more testing, although glxgears is now functioning correctly, compiz and mythtv with opengl doesnt work.
Compiz still reports the same error : GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing

After much testing of various options I've found the following options give some gl output;

Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Option "PageFlip" "true"

See my post here http://www.qdh.org.uk/wordpress/?p=278 for a screenshot of the current output and a little more info.

Compiz is working for me, albeit slow, texture_from_pixmap is present when using indirect rendering.

The upstream bug for this is:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18430

Reassigning to the correct group rather than ajax personally.

Out of interest, how's it look in Rawhide? If installing Rawhide would be inconvenient, give this live CD a shot:

I haven't tried that particular livecd yet, but for me at least the one from the test day was not so promising:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490496

Oh, fun!

Well, neither of those problems are typical for 945s (I have one on my test intel system and both regular operation and glxgears worked fine on the test day live image and in f10 with that), so it seems like there's really something odd about the macbook implementation. :\ thanks for the info.

With rawhide from today I see the gears, but the background is white. Is this how it's supposed to be? I seem to remember that the background was black earlier.

nope, it's still supposed to be black. :)

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, including Intel driver, which may have resolved this issue.
To be more precise, Intel has undergone a major rewrite during Fedora 10, 11 and 12 cycles, and whole driver is working a lot better now. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to retry with at least Fedora 12 Beta and see if the issue is still relevant.

Please, if you experience this problem on Fedora 12 Beta or up-to-date system running Rawhide, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

We hope to see how many older bugs in Intel driver are still relevant today, in hope that most of them were fixed in rewrite process.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora 10 i810-related bugs (39 of them are still open). I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Thank you for your bug report.

We are sorry, but the Fedora Project is will soon stop longer releasing bug fixes or any other updates for this version of Fedora. There were so many changes between Fedora 10 and Fedora 12 in Intel driver and X.Org that it's very likely that this bug is fixed. This bug will be set to CLOSED:WONTFIX to reflect this, but please reopen it if the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora (version 12), which is available from:
