You may have to compile a few other XFCE4 pieces with -g in order to get things up and going, but first things first...

I spent a little time playing with the 2.9.1 driver on my g45 today. Basically... It is horrid... When Intel chose to remove all non-GEM support for the 2.8 series driver, what is actually going on is that it is calling into libdrm_intel's fake buffer manager and doing ton's of memcpy's. It seems to be sort of ok as long as it is just basic 2d, but enable composite in metacity and it falls on it's face... Granted all of my machines run with WITNESS and INVARIANTS, but you can almost count the pixels as they are drawn... I was thinking that Intel had actually killed the fake buffer manager as well, but it looks like it does still exist in libdrm git. Perhaps it was that they removed it from mesa. At any rate, they don't deny that it is broken, nor do they test it or have any intention of fixing it... The only reason for using the 2.9.1 driver that I can think of is if you have an Ironlake chipset, which isn't supported in 2.7.1. I now have to decide whether to spend time back porting Ironlake support to 2.7.1 or spend time on GEM. robert. > http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/xorg7.5/grab.png > > -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland <rnoland(a)FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

This success-story plays on FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE amd64 and I am using "radeon" driver. Again: Thanks to everyone for their great work.

I've tried the new 7.5 xorg version and I still have difficulties with my atom based machine : asus:tmp/>dmesg | grep agp agp0: <Intel 82945G (945G GMCH) SVGA controller> on vgapci0 agp0: detected 7932k stolen memory agp0: aperture size is 256M asus:tmp/>uname -a FreeBSD asus.hpch.net 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #3: Wed Jan 13 14:49:40 CET 2010 root(a)asus.hpch.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 asus:tmp/>dmesg | grep CPU CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz (1596.01-MHz 686-class CPU) p4tcc0: <CPU Frequency Thermal Control> on cpu0 On this machine the symptom are a 30s to 1mn freeze then switching from console mode to graphic (when xdm start), and same hang when doing graphic stuff like dvd play, or using xv or qiv. Yesterday I've try to compile xorg 7.5 and xfce4. Same symptom. The only workaround I've found is to disable acpi 'hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" in /boot/loader.conf And even with that, I've a corrupted screen. Vesa is not an option, because it can not recognize my 1920x1200 screen. Is there any chance that the 2.9 intel driver behave better ?
