Bug Description
Hi,
I'm currently testing 12.04 on my PowerPC iBook. It is reverting to the software rasterizer. Here is the relevant bit of the xorg log:
[ 29.603] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[ 29.603] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 29.603] drmOpenDevice: open result is 12, (OK)
[ 29.603] drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:00:10.0
[ 29.603] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 29.604] drmOpenDevice: open result is 12, (OK)
[ 29.604] drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 12
[ 29.604] drmOpenByBusid: Interface 1.4 failed, trying 1.1
[ 29.604] drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:00:10.0
[ 29.616] (EE) AIGLX error: r200 does not export required DRI extension
[ 29.616] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[ 29.622] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[ 29.622] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
I think the important bit is "error: r200 does not export required DRI extension". Am I correct in thinking that only KMS is now supported by libgl1-mesa-dri?
If so this is a big problem for PowerPC. Kernel Mode Setting with radeon cards and PowerPC is still very shakey. I can only get my iBook to not crash under KMS using the radeon.agpmode=-1 parameter (i.e. forcing PCI mode). Also, there is no suspend under KMS with PowerPC.
Would it be possible to build back in Userspace Mode Setting support for r200 cards?
Thanks!
