dlopen /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so failed

[Paul Dufresne]

DRI not working on a i945GZ chipset.

Much the same as Bug #35741 but this is with freshly insalled and updated Gutsy Tribe 1.
And I have just the i945GZ chipset, no ATI card.

I can confirm this on Gutsy Tribe 1 using Intel 945GM (Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop), intel driver.

Try installing the libgl1-mesa-dri package.
Since compiz is installed by default, i think this package should be too.

For now, I have (re)installed feisty.
There is a 3D game, I really like to play.

I can confirm this issue on a Dell Latitude X1, using Intel i915GMS.

Installing libgl1-mesa-dri enables "direct rendering".

[Paul Dufresne (paulduf)]

The bug still exist on Gutsy (20070629) Kubuntu 32 bits.
I confirm that installing libgl1-mesa-dri and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, enables DRI.

Had try Gutsy (20070629) Ubuntu 64 bits earlier today, was working fine out of the box.

This is also on Debian Unstable...i think a package is missing some dependencies.

[steph_Z (polariscorp)]

i confirm that installing libgl1-mesa-dri on a kubuntu 32 bits fix the bug

>glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
>direct rendering: Yes

*buntu-desktop now depends on libgl1-mesa-dri

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

sorry, I meant Recommends, so you can break your installation if you like, but the default one should work :)

Tthat works also on Toshiba A110-178, Debian Testing.
Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML.
