Hide Forgot
Description of problem: After a fresh install from the "rawhide" tree, an IBM ThinkPad T23 does not provide working hardware acceleration. Despite being active on the server side, an unknown symbol prevents MESA to use /usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so. Executing 'env LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo' returns: libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 2.3.1 savage (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so failed (/usr/lib /dri/savage_dri.so: undefined symbol: Xfree) libGL error: unable to load driver: savage_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes .. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mesa-dri-drivers-7.6-0.13.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute 'glxinfo'. Actual results: OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer Expected results: OpenGL renderer string: .. [Savage, etc.] Additional info: - Used to work in F10, I think. - In F11, 3D rendering is broken on this system. - Installed packages include: * kernel-PAE-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686 * libdrm-2.4.14-1.fc12.i686 * xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.3.1-1.fc12.i686 * xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99.903-2.fc12.i686

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Issue has evolved, now reported through abrt as bug 541370.
I've the same problem: $ env LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 2.3.1 savage (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so: undefined symbol: Xfree) libGL error: unable to load driver: savage_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so Versions: mesa-dri-drivers-7.6-0.13.fc12.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 libdrm-2.4.15-8.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.3.1-1.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.4-1.fc12.i686 I'll update my system in a few day to see if that can solve the problem.
Ran "yum update" on my system a couple of days ago. Now kwin freezes and glxgears behaves like bug 541370 mentioned above (ran in Metacity).
