compiz + 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 + 'intel'/i915 graphics (solution)

[fwelland]

Hi,

I have an eeePC with the i915G graphics chip. I have been using F8 and compiz on my eeePC successfully since early12/07.

After YUM update of kernel 2.6.24.3-12.fc8; COMPIZ stopped (i have version 0.7.3). glxinfo revealed DRI was off.

After much tinkering the fix is: add Option "Legacy3D" "true" to device section.

This assumes you are using the 'intel' driver. Interestingly the i810 driver seemed to have DRI working -- didn't try iegd (although I wonder if iegd and i810 are the same).

So, I guess a new 'intel' driver came over with the kernel.

Anyone with compiz troubles and intel integrated graphics (810, 910, etc) -- this may help..

This line also fixed DRI for my G33.

Thank you for the post

Thanks much.

Sorry for not knowing this but where shall I "add Option "Legacy3D" "true" to device section"?

[DrewP]

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root

for example:

$ su -c "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

The device section in mine now looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Legacy3D" "true"
EndSection

Thank you.
