I typed this in the console using both user and root permissions:
glxinfo | grep -i direct
and it says for both:
*** WARNING: Direct Rendering is NOT enabled
I have successfully installed the 10.2 proprietary driver from ATI. But how do i enable Direct Rendering?
Thanks in advance
Before OpenSuse 11.2 I used some Debian-based distros that used to have a good support for my integrated video card Via Unichrome P4M800 Pro / CN700.
I had 3D running with direct rendering by Mesa.
With OpenSuse I'm having problems to configure my graphics with a good configuration...
I was running Dapper with both direct rendering and 3D acceleration working using the fglrx binary driver for my ATI Radeon 9550 card.
I recently updated to Hardy, and switched to the free software radeon driver. After doing some research and tweaking, I managed to get direct rendering working. glxgears now shows decent frame rates (e.g. 1757.013 FPS).
I saw the thread "Compton issues", but I think my problem is a one-off issue, so I'd rather not add it to a bug report thread.Anyway, a couple weeks ago, Corenominal posted about the cb-vlc-fix in the #! repos, and I installed it hoping it would solve the problems I was having with VLC and compositing (horrible tearing in HD video).
Im having tearing occur at the top 5% of the screen with an intel onboard graphics when playing HD video during motion.
My computer does glitchy stuff with 3D games.
I did a little research and came across this: Screen tearing in 11.10 with intel graphics
This worked for some things but FlightGear still has horrible rendering:
Any way to fix this?
Hi,I've got a new motherboard, with an onboard Intel video card. I'm not going to play games, but movies should run reasonably well, shouldn't they? Yet I've got tearing, even on moderate resolution.I've heard about Intel using system memory for video memory, but I can't find any useful info on the subject.
I used to Debian before
glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV350
GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_NV_conditional_render,
glxgears
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.025 FPS
glxinfo |grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x209)
GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_AMD_draw_buffers_blend
I'm getting video tearing with mplayer on a Macbook Air 5,2 (2012) running Arch Linux 3.6.9-1-ARCH x86_64.
