i810 and 3d acceleration

**brokndodge** · 12-22-2006

someone gave me this emachine a couple of months ago with a "bad hard drive", turned out it just had win xp on it and the ntfs had become corrupt. so i promptly replaced it with debian etch. i've got the tv card set up now just need 3d acceleration. it's got the intel i810 integrated graphics chips.

as far as i can tell, everything is up and running correctly but i still don't have direct rendering. help anyone?

as best as i can tell it should be working, but it's not... what did i miss?

My video card uses i915 but it should be similar. Your drm module is marked as unused, which means you will need to load the i810 module and restart Xorg.

If that doesn't fix it by itself, I don't specify the videoram or the option you have in the device section. From my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Also relevant:

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

**antidrugue** · 12-22-2006

Keep in mind that 3D acceleration will only work on the i810 when you are using 16 bit color depth in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Here is an example of a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the i810 :
http://antidrugue.dyndns.org/config....illi/xorg.conf

The interesting bit is this one :

Code:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
	Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:1:0"
	Option          "NoAccel"       "false"
	Option          "DRI"           "true"
	VideoRam        16384
EndSection

Plus :

Code:

DefaultDepth	16

in Section "Screen".

i'm gonna try your fix right now, but i'm having a lot of trouble with the i810 locking up... i am currantly trying to get another graphics card setup to replace the integrated i810. i keep running into the same problem, the console doesn't have a problem with the card, but x can't find it. any ideas?

--edit - antidrugue, u are the man... 3d accleration is working now. i'm gonna try and recreate the lockup situation now and find out if thats fixed too.

--edit2 - i gave it my best and couldn't get it to lock up, so i guess there's no need to replace the i810 now. thanks alot
