Direct Rendering is disabled with Intel G43/45 chipset upon install. The
seemingly relevant clue is in the xorg log:
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM. Kernel 2.6.28 required.
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
Reproducible: Always
Actual Results:
Things crawl because of hardware acceleration/direct rendering not being
enabled.
Expected Results:
Direct Rendering to be enabled and thus desktop effects (KDE) enabled.
I discussed this on both the OpenSUSE & intel-gfx IRC channels. In the
intel-gfx channel the cause of the issue could not be determined. I was however
told that the issue is most likely due to Mesa and to file a bug here against
Mesa.
All of the relevant packages are unmodified from the 11.2 install, but for
reference they are:
kernel-desktop-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64
Mesa-7.6-3.1.x86_64
xorg-x11-7.4-35.3.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-7.4-61.63.1.x86_64
intel driver 2.9.1
I think the relevant error in the Xorg.0.log is this one:
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM. Kernel 2.6.28 required.
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
This doesn't seem to make sense because as listed above, 11.2 ships with
2.6.31+ so GEM should not be an issue.
Also, I don't know if this is relevant but 11.2 did correctly detect my monitor
(connected via DVI) and all settings regarding it are correct.
Apparently 11.2 no longer utilizes the xorg.conf file. Before installing 11.2,
I backed up my xorg.conf file. Upon encountering this problem with 11.2 I
copied my working xorg.conf from 11.1 to /etc/X11/ to see if that would help,
but it was apparently ignored as it did not make a difference.
