Public bug reported:
system info: AMD64 Edgy on a Core 2 Duo on a DG965WH (onboard g965
video). Kernel 2.6.19-mm1.
strace -o gl.tr glxgears. (don't 2>&1 | less, or it will block your X
server and you'll have to a text console and kill strace.)
shows that GL progs never read /etc/drirc or ~/.drirc. This file is
written by driconf. On my Debian unstable system, it had an effect. I
was able to enable hardware s3tc support on my ATI Radeon (AIW 7200).
This may be an upstream bug; even with the latest mesa, drm, and xf86
-video-intel from git, drirc is still ignored (so I can't enable
force_s3tc_enable). ./src/mesa/drivers/dri/common/xmlconfig.c in the
mesa source obviously has code to look for drirc, but it never gets to
the point of making any system calls involving the filename.
The latest xf86-video-intel xorg driver (v 1.7.3) fixes the b0rked
video problem I've been having after X has to restore text mode and then
start again. I'll file a separate report about that.
This is stopping me from playing TA Spring on this box. :(
