Re: How to enable software rendering via X server
If direct rendering fails, indirect will be used. So if LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT isn't set and you still get indirect rendering, this is probably what happens. Use LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo to figure out why. Roland Am 16.02.2011 06:17, schrieb Neeraj N T: I unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT and set only LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE but the output was still the same.

This only works with direct rendering because otherwise you're getting the DRI driver that the X server opened, and it's not controlled by this variable. -- Dan ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: rscheidegger_li...@hispeed.ch ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

How to enable software rendering via X server
Hi All, By using the environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 my glxinfo showed the following: *direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) IGDNG_M GEM 20091221 2009Q4* My research showed that the Xclient is actually using indirect rendering where as the Xserver is inturn using the DRI path. Instead of the above how can I get the below output, so that I can ensure graphics flow is using software rendering ? * direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer * Thanking you in anticipation, Neeraj N.T ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
