Description of problem: The i915 DRI OpenGL driver, included in xorg-x11-6.8.2, does not support the i945G integrated graphics controller found in recent Intel-based x86_64 capable PCs. It seems to work properly with the i945G if the appropriate PCI IDs are added. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested most recent RHEL4 beta xorg-x11 RPM (xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.5) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to set up DRI for OpenGL acceleration on a machine with i945G integrated graphics Actual results: i915_dri.so does not recognize the i945G graphics controller Expected results: Additional info: Here is a patch against the xorg-x11-6.8.2 sources from RHEL4 (most recent beta, xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.5) that adds the necessary code to drive the i945G as a i915G. With the attached patch I rebuilt the i915_dri.so driver from the most recent RHEL4 beta, and OpenGL acceleration is working fine on a x86_64 machine. (pre-production Dell GX620, x86_64, i945G integrated graphics)
Created attachment 114481 [details] [PATCH] support i945G as i915G in DRI driver, xorg-x11-6.8.2
