[Bug 230300] New: Xorg & ATI DRI reverts to s/w emulation
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230300 Summary: Xorg & ATI DRI reverts to s/w emulation Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: roeland@linux-it.nl QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Used the proposed ATI closed source driver and ran SAX to create a new configuration for Xorg. I found out that the glxgear is very slow and the system reverts to the OpenGL mesa. The Xorg.o.log states that the DRI module is not loaded. Similar entries are found using google all with the same result. I'll add the requested files next hour like the logfiles. the hardware is an Uniwill 258SAx also known as an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D1840W.

No, rpm scriptlets are executed with "/" as the current directory, so it should work unless something else in that scriptlet changed the cwd. Yes, that's correct.
If the scriptlet failed to create the symlink, it must have a different reason. Indeed. I can't reproduce this issue.

Do you remember what usr/X11R6/%{_lib}/modules/dri was at the moment you installed fglrx.rpm (directory, symlink to directory, symlink to file, regular file, nothing...)? If this was an upgrade, it might explain why usr/X11R6/%{_lib}/modules/dri already existed (because rpm doesn't remove it on upgrade if there are unpackaged files in it) and the %post script of fglrx.rpm does not handle this case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230300 ------- Comment #19 from roeland@linux-it.nl 2006-12-22 01:37 MST ------- it indeed is an upgrade from 10.1. I don't remember what it was at the moment I installed the fglrx rpm (with -Uvh). I know that I have several times installed and removed the rpm and it seems to never have make that symlink correctly. I have renamed the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri to dri.old and manually created the symlink. inside the dri.old there is a symlink though: taplop:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri.old # ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec 14 09:32 dri -> /usr/lib/dri so it seems one level too deep. dec 14 was the first shot at the fglrx part thx for the tip on the scriplet's current directory.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230300 ------- Comment #21 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-12-22 03:01 MST ------- I just wanted to reopen it, too, but for a different reason: "ln -snf" does not do what you probably think it does. The symlink target really has to be removed (or renamed) first to be sure that the symlink is created where you want to have it. The "-n" option to ln only makes a difference if /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri was previously a symlink to a directory, but not if it was a real directory. If it was a real directory, even "ln -snf" will create a symlink inside it instead of replacing it. Besides that, there might be a better solution to this problem than symlinking stuff across the filesystem: The LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable. ATI's libGL seems to respect that (at least I can find the string in the libGL.so.1.2 binary; cannot test myself because I don't have ATI hardware). Obvious drawback with using LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH: It won't work for GL applications that have been run via kdesu (because kdesu uses sudo which in turn resets the complete environment) and it won't work with setuid binaries. Maybe you can experiment with a profile.d script that does something like: export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib64/dri/updates:/usr/lib/dri/updates:/usr/lib64/dri:/usr/lib/dri lib64 _and_ lib are needed for biarch platforms, and of course it should be installed only if needed (i.e., it should be part of fglrx.rpm). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
