Description of problem: With Fedora Core 7 and updated Mesa and xorg-x11-drv-ati driver, my notebook (Acer Aspire 3100) with Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP produced 3D accelerated DRI. With a newly installed Fedora 8 it doesn't. For my previous adventures with my notebook, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251642 My notebook hasn't changed since that report, however with Fedora 8, lspci identifies the integrated graphics differently: # lspci -s 01:05.0 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP] lspci in Fedora Core 7 reported it with this namne: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] Xorg 1.3 in Fedora 8 reports this below about the chip but unlike my previous Fedora Core 7 setup, it doesn't try to load the radeon kernel module or r300_dri. (--) Chipset ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5975 (PCIE) found The radeon kernel module is loadable manually but it doesn't help. These two lines are in dmesg after "modprobe radeon": [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] Initialized radeon 1.28.0 20060524 on minor 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-33.fc8 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-1.fc8 mesa-libGL-7.0.1-7.fc8 mesa-libGL-7.0.1-7.fc8 kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 8 x86_64 on an Acer Aspire 31xx with Xpress 1100 IGP 2. Run glxinfo 3. Actual results: No 3D acceleration, e.g. glxinfo says: Direct rendering: No Expected results: Working 3D acceleration, since with the components mentioned in BZ 251642 3D acceleration worked on Fedora Core 7. Additional info: I saved the original xorg.conf from Fedora Core 7 before I upgraded, I can append it to the report however it doesn't have any fancy setting to load r300_dri.
can you add Option "DRI" "true" to xorg.conf device section and try again? we can't get xpress support consistenly working, i.e. it works for you but not for others...
Thank you very much, adding the option worked, I get accelerated 3D now. Just as with Fedora Core 7, I disabled AIGLX and Compositing just to be on the safe side as they (and e.g. Compiz) didn't work. I also added Option "GARTSize" "64" so e.g. ppracer doesn't complain about not enough GART. Thanks again.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. 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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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
This looks like it should be closed
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
