Is my glxinfo ok??

**Jammin1984** · 03-06-2005

Hello.

I recently downloaded the snapshot of the open soure DRI drivers from here:

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download

I ran the install.sh, and enabled DRI in my xorg.conf.

My frame rate in glxgears and games shot up. Fine im thinking.

Here is my glxinfo:

Code:

jammin@Jupiter&#58;~$ glxinfo
name of display&#58; &#58;0.0
display&#58; &#58;0  screen&#58; 0

That is worrying me. Should that be 0.0??

Also, i think these lines from dmesg maybe be related:

Code:

pciehp&#58; PCI Express Hot Plug Controller Driver version&#58; 0.5
PCI&#58; Unable to reserve mem region #1&#58;8000000@e0000000 for device 01&#58;00.0
PCI&#58; Unable to reserve mem region #1&#58;8000000@e0000000 for device 01&#58;00.0

&#91;drm&#93; Used old pci detect&#58; framebuffer loaded

?????

Also, and i know this is off-topic, but how do i allow root to use the display device (just for firestarter) as I get this error:

Code:

&#40;firestarter&#58;3130&#41;&#58; Gtk-WARNING **&#58; cannot open display&#58;

?????

Thanks much, its apreciated.

You don't have to worry. 0.0 is the default display in Linux. The explanation is a bit longer, but you can identify several displays in your machine (for example you can have localhost:0, localhost:1), this usually identifies a collection of screen which can be controlled by a mouse and a keyboard; thus, the second number indicates which screen are you using, being the screen a particular screen in a set of displays.

You can read a bit more of it by searching in Google, this article could be enlightning: http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_intro/sect_7_03.html.

how do i allow root to use the display device (just for firestarter) as I get this error:

You should be able to (as normal user) enter

Code:

xhost +

then su to the root account. That command will turn off access control for X. Be sure to enter

Code:

xhost -

when you don't need root to have access anymore, because it is a security risk.
