Hello,

It's time to try 3D acceleration on SuSE 9.1. I'm using an Intel 865G chip, and obtained the i915 driver from Intel's site at http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm

I should mention that the whole reason I'm attempting to use the i915 driver, not tested by Intel on SuSE 9.1, is that I'm currently using the i810 driver, but DRI isn't working for me. If anyone can guess what the problem might be, based on the attached output, that would be great too. First, some facts: YaST does report that acceleration is enabled for the card. My XF86Config file does correctly reference the i810 driver in the "Device" section, as well as enabling the 'dri' and 'glx' modules. According to http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html , the 'i810' driver is actually the XFree86 server driver, while the DRI/DRM kernel driver is 'i830'. /sbin/lsmod does show this loaded: ### begin result of /sbin/lsmod | grep 830 ### i830 70208 0 ### end result of /sbin/lsmod | grep 830 ### Below, I'll include my XFree86 config file, as well as the output in /var/log/XFree86.0.log . ### begin selections from XFree86 config file ### # SaX generated XFree86 config file # Created on: 2005-01-06T10:46:01-0800. # # Version: 4.8 # Contact: Marcus Schaefer <sax@suse.de>, 2002 [...] Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "type1" Load "speedo" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "v4l" Load "dri" EndSection [...] Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 360 270 HorizSync 28-107 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "D8912A HP P920 19-INCH MONITOR" Option "DPMS" VendorName "HEWLETT-PACKARD" VertRefresh 50-160 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection [...] Section "Device" BoardName "865 G" BusID "0:2:0" Driver "i810" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "Intel" EndSection [...] Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection ### end selections from XF86config file ### ### begin /var/log/XFree86.0.log ### [...] XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902 (4.4.0 RC 2) Release Date: 18 December 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE Current Operating System: Linux boogie 2.6.5-7.111.19-default #1 Fri Dec 10 15:10:58 UTC 2004 i686 Build Date: 23 August 2004 Changelog Date: 29 February 2004 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.
