Priority: medium Bug ID: 75453 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: i915/DRM Gallium driver apparently not usable without DRM pipe loader Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: christian.prochaska@genode-labs.com Hardware: Other Status: NEW Version: git Component: Drivers/Gallium/i915g Product: Mesa
(git master 73b46136b0ba20f7f84abdadad895111a4c37166)
I've built Mesa with the following configuration:
./autogen.sh --enable-gles2 --disable-glx --with-dri-drivers= --enable-gallium-egl --with-egl-platforms=drm --with-gallium-drivers=i915
With this configuration, both a DRI driver and a Gallium driver get built, despite the --with-dri-drivers= configure option (bug or intended?).
Then I've built the 'es2gears' demo as follows:
gcc -g -O0 -DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS -o es2gears es2gears.c ../eglut/eglut_screen.c ../eglut/eglut.c -I../eglut -lGLESv2 -lEGL -lm
When I tried to run it on an IBM T60 notebook (Debian testing), at first bug 75335 triggered. Now that this bug has been resolved, the following error occured:
----- EGL_VERSION = 1.4 (DRI2) EGLUT: failed to choose a config -----
When I deleted the DRI driver, the following error occured:
----- gbm: failed to open any driver (search paths /usr/local/lib/dri)failed to load driver: i915 gbm: failed to open any driver (search paths /usr/local/lib/dri)failed to load driver: i915 gbm: failed to open any driver (search paths /usr/local/lib/dri)failed to load driver: i915 EGLUT: failed to initialize EGL display -----
Apparently, the Gallium driver was not usable, too. Since bug 75335 got triggered by the missing DRM pipe loader, I tried to enable it with the following modification of configure.ac:
----- index ba158e8..feb025f 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -1748,6 +1748,7 @@ if test "x$with_gallium_drivers" != x; then xi915) HAVE_GALLIUM_I915=yes PKG_CHECK_MODULES([INTEL], [libdrm_intel >= $LIBDRM_INTEL_REQUIRED]) + gallium_require_drm_loader GALLIUM_DRIVERS_DIRS="$GALLIUM_DRIVERS_DIRS i915 softpipe" if test "x$MESA_LLVM" = x1; then GALLIUM_DRIVERS_DIRS="$GALLIUM_DRIVERS_DIRS llvmpipe" -----
With that, the demo finally worked:
----- EGL_VERSION = 1.4 (Gallium) Found 6 modes: 0: 1400 x 1050 1: 1400 x 1050 2: 1280 x 1024 3: 1024 x 768 4: 800 x 600 5: 640 x 480 Will use screen size: 1400 x 1050 vertex shader info: fragment shader info: info: 724 frames in 5.0 seconds = 144.713 FPS -----
So it seems that the DRM pipe loader should get enabled by default for the i915/DRM Gallium configuration, but I'm not sure if the modification I made would break some other configuration.
