RV350 listed as fully supported by Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver (August 2013) but is not found in Xorg.0.log
I also tried using MESA 10.* but no change.
What am I missing? Thank you

--- Comment #6 from Michel Dänzer michel@daenzer.net --- libGL is directly loading swrast instead of r300 for some reason. Make sure the environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE is not set.

--- Comment #7 from Elven Decker sailing@together.net --- Good news and bad news, and light at the end of the tunnel
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE was getting set to one in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50_check_unity_support. So I overrode the value as below:
cat 50_check_unity_support # This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed. # If the hardware does not pass unity_support_test, fall back to LLVMpipe # which does.
if [ "x$DESKTOP_SESSION" = "xubuntu" ]; then /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test || export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 fi export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0
which set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to zero:
printenv | grep ALWAYS LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0
Unfortunately there was no change in the behavior of the system and we still see unity not supported...

based on your comment about the r300 driver, I tried a forced loading of R300 by putting it into an xorg.conf... in Xorg.0.log we see [ 54.122] (II) LoadModule: "r300" [ 54.122] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module r300 [ 54.122] (II) UnloadModule: "r300" [ 54.123] (II) Unloading r300 [ 54.123] (EE) Failed to load module "r300" (module does not exist, 0)
I'm clearly missing a package... which one?? Thanks

printenv | grep ALWAYS LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE forces software rendering regardless of its value. You need
unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE
instead, or just don't set it in the first place.
So, why does unity_support_test fail without LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE set?

log file without ALWAYS_SOFTWARE flag set.
Thanks, but LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE only affects libGL, not the X server. We need to see the output of unity_support_test without it set.
Does Unity work if you hack the script not to set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE?

--- Comment #11 from Elven Decker sailing@together.net --- X won't start without LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE set. Log file is Xort.0.log.sav above.
I notice that Xorg.0.log and lspci identify my card in different ways? Radeon 9600 vs. 9550?

Another thought...
Not sure anybody needs to run Xorg -configure anymore, but I tried it to see if I could learn anything and got the message "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices". The configure process noted three screens and three monitors, I believe my card supports my monitor and an external TV.

That doesn't show any problem. Maybe check the display manager (lightdm?) log files to see if the X server stderr contains more information.
Meanwhile, you could let it set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to get into X, then run unity_support_test something like this:
( unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE; /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p )
Radeon 9600 vs. 9550?
Just two different marketing names for the same hardware.

Nobody does. It's been deprecated and barely working for a long time.

I assume (don't know how to test and gdm is not installed) lightdm is my display manager, I reinstalled lightdm but no change. Logs look ok, I am going to restart without software rendering (so X fails and I get kicked back to login screen) and check those logs.

--- Comment #14 from Elven Decker sailing@together.net --- Created attachment 89261 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=89261&action=edit lightm log file without ALWAYS_SOFTWARE flag set (login fails)

--- Comment #15 from Elven Decker sailing@together.net --- I uploaded the lightdm log from an attempted login when I had stopped the ALWAYS_SOFTWARE flag from getting set.
Thanks for staying with this one.

--- Comment #16 from Elven Decker sailing@together.net --- Progress!!
Starting from the login screen, I press control-alt F2 to bring up a command line. Then I run startx. I don't get a window manager, but I can find my way to xterm and then work from the command line after X starts. glxgears looks normal - smooth and as quickly as I believe the 9550 can go. :) Opening firefox, CNN and youtube videos play smoothly.
From your comments, I believe I have sidestepped lightdm. I opened synaptic and
reinstalled lightdm and associated programs. I then minimized synaptic and now I know what the display manager does. That's OK, I'll be rebooting anyway.
Next steps? I believe there is /usr/lib and an /etc folders. Can I clean them out and do another re-install? Will the config files get regenerated?
Thanks

Another fix for this issue is to install lightdm-gtk-greeter.
