i915 loaded instead of i810 - broken openGL

[karaluh]

lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

So the correct module for this chip is i810, however
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep "DRI driver"
[ 32.324] (II) intel(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: i915

which results in
glxgears

libGL error: failed to load driver: i915

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

The naming might be confusing, but i915.ko *is* the correct kernel driver for your graphics chip. And i915_dri.so is the right OpenGL driver.

> libGL error: failed to load driver: i915

This is the problem you need to investigate.

[karaluh (karaluh)]

This is verbose debug. What could be the problem?
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/tls/i915_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
libGL error: unable to load driver: i915_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915

[karaluh (karaluh)]

The issue is caused by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx file incorrectly setting driver path. File was left by previous fglrx driver installation - I used to have ATI card.

Glad you managed to fix it!
