General Support - Same problem with latest kanotix easter rc4 :(

Titel: Same problem with latest kanotix easter rc4 :(

Well i just can't get my head round this, using a previous kanotix with updates etc, i had 3d acceleration and opengl screensavers all working fine.

Then last night i see this nice new rc4 version out so i done a clean install, then done an "apt-get install kde" to get the rest of the kde stuff including the screensavers.

Then when i test out the opengl screensavers still don't work, and i still have no 3d acceleration ?

It's a real shame because this kanotix is the best linux i have ever come accross, and believe me i tried most of them out there.

Does anyone know how to solve this at all ?

My laptop is a hp nx6110 with intel graphics 910gm/gms 915gml

The damm thing used to work fine, so i'm guessing it's all to do with this xorg 7 ?

Thanks...

corky,
apt-get install kde is a bad idea.
you should get that stuff through dist-upgrade, ot, if you use install, do it in init 3, when kde is not running.

Did you also install the 3d drivers? It's easy for Nvidia & ATI. Just use the script.

Code:

CTRL+ALT+F1

install-nvidia-debian.sh

Code:

CTRL+ALT+F1

install-radeon-debian.sh

Then test for direct rendering like so:

Code:

glxinfo|grep rendering

If you don't have Nvidia or ATI then tell us which gfx card/chipset you have.

Now I'm not a KDE user but I'm unsure how apt-get install kde is a bad thing.

Code:

apt-cache show kde

kde - the K Desktop Environment official modules

kde is just a meta package for some KDE modules.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies,

Well i just done another clean install, then just tried the gl117 flight game and i do not have any 3d acceleration at all.

Then i installed just the kscreensavers only, and the opengl screensavers struggle real bad.

Then booting into init 3 i done an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, still the same problems.

After the clean install kanotix is using xorg i810 for my video drivers, this may be where the problem is ?

This laptop graphics card is the intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML

Thanks...

Xorg 7.0 told gl and glx for these intel chips are not ready for your card. Latest version for X-servers from Xorg is 6., if gl or glx is needed.

ok so does that mean i can't fix it with this release of kanotix because of the xorg 7 ?

Right, you can't fix this until XORG 7.0 has the solution. Can take a while.
