Yes, Xorg 7.2 with the 1.7.4 driver (actually the modesetting branch
matching same, as I'm using an LCD and wanted 1680x1050 resolution
support), Mesa 6.5.2 with 2.6.20.3 kernel
With DRI off, glxgears/etc work though of course slowly. With them on,
anything talking to gl fails, eg:
(motoko ~)$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
glxinfo: bufmgr_fake.c:746: bmGenBufferStatic: Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted
Backtrace shows the assertion inside i965_dri.so
I also tried xorg-server-1.2.99.903.ebuild and xf86-video-i810-1.9.94,
which failed entirely (segfault on driver load, trashed the display
state and rendered the entire console unusable).
Glad to know this is working for someone at least - so hopefully it's
just something with my configuration or specific versions, or at the
worst a hardware problem. Maybe DRI works under 4:3 screen layouts but
not others? I can live with slow 3D, it's not essential to my workflow
but it's very frustrating when your hardware doesn't seem to work as
it should.
The assertion issues you initially had sound xcb related, though most
(all?) the related bugs I've seen w/ the intel driver have been fixed
with the versions you are using. You can always remove xcb, tho it
takes quite a bit of recompilation. Have you tried a 'revdep-rebuild'
lately? Little clue why the latest builds tanked so horribly, but I'm
pretty sure its nothing to do with you not having a 4:3 screen.
