Intel 945G+DRI2+UXA+GEM crash in glxgears with latest versions

[Cliff Lawson]

Hi,

 

I wonder if anyone has successfully got DRI2/UXA/GEM on a 945G graphics
system to work? (in my case this is the Intel D945GCLF motherboard
including Atom processor)

 

I've been trying to get to the point of using the latest Intel video
driver support for X so I built a 2.6.28-rc8 kernel (for the dri.ko and
i915.ko) and I followed the majority of:

 

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890843

 

which itself basically uses the script given on:

 

http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/git

 

to bring all the xserver, app side drm, hardware drivers and Mesa up to
the latest.

 

But when I try to do something as simple as running the latest glxgears
(that is the copy that is built amongst everything else in
mesa/progs/xdemos) then I find that it just aborts without producing
output, the window border appears but then it crashes with a SIG_ABORT. 

 

When I look at this in DDD/GDB the problem occurs in this context:

I *think* I've succeeded in getting my system using UXA/DRI2/GEM using
the attached xorg.conf. Amongst other output glixinfo shows:

 

name of display: :0.0

display: :0  screen: 0

direct rendering: Yes

server glx vendor string: SGI

server glx version string: 1.2

 

and

 

OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945G GEM 20080716 x86/MMX/SSE2

OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.3-devel

 

In this the "GEM 20080716" is a good sign I believe as it shows that the
Mesa driver has spotted that the kernel drivers are able to do GEM. 

 

Also the Xorg.0.log (attached) seems to suggest that UXA and DRI2 is
enabled as it includes:

 

X.Org X Server 1.6.99.1

Release Date: (unreleased)

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-rc8 i686 

Current Operating System: Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-rc8 #2 SMP Thu Dec 18
15:48:25 GMT 2008 i686

Build Date: 19 December 2008  05:34:02PM

and

(--) intel(0): Chipset: "945G"

(--) intel(0): Linear framebuffer at 0x20000000

(--) intel(0): IO registers at addr 0x30200000

(WW) intel(0): libpciaccess reported 0 rom size, guessing 64kB

(**) intel(0): Using UXA for acceleration

and

(II) intel(0): [DRI2] Setup complete

and

(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers.

(II) intel(0): Tiled allocation successful.

and

(II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:

(II)         solid

(II)         copy

(II)         composite (RENDER acceleration)

and

(II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0

 

So I just need a reality check that all this should work and maybe a
pointer as to why the system is crashing when a GLX application attempts
to run (though, having said that, Fluxbox that I'm using as a desktop
manager gets going without having any problems)
