Compiz fails after upgrading the Kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi listers

I upgraded myhost to the following version of fedora 13 this morning.

[myuser@myhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux myhost.lan 2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Sep 5 17:16:27 UTC 
2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[myuser@myhost ~]$

After the upgrade  compiz failed to work in the upgraded system. When I 
try to start compiz, it says:

[myuser@myhost ~]$ compiz --replace &
[1] 3012
[myuser@myhost ~]$ compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is 
missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

[1]+  Exit 1                  compiz --replace
[myuser@myhost ~]$


I thought that it was a failure in a library or in the xorg-server 
alltoghether and googled around with that in mind to find a solution. I, 
however, didn't find anything which helped. I also did not find any 
convincing error in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, except that according to 
this log


[    20.929] (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

When I did, however,
[myuser@myhost ~]$ glxinfo |grep -i direct
direct rendering: Yes
[myuser@myhost ~]$

I then gave the old kernel (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64) a try and - 
unexpectedly - compiz workes fine with the new libraries when using the 
old kernel.

This is how I start the two kernels:
title upper Disk Fedora (2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 ro 
root=UUID=afe5a1d5-a316-4cfb-90e0-d7e44b582037 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM 
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=sg 
resume=UUID=767752a5-5c99-4076-82d0-8912ef12a0db
	initrd /initramfs-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64.img
title upper disk Fedora (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64 ro 
root=UUID=afe5a1d5-a316-4cfb-90e0-d7e44b582037 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM 
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=sg 
resume=UUID=767752a5-5c99-4076-82d0-8912ef12a0db
	initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64.img

Note that I do not use the "nomodeset" flag.

The graphics driver is radeon:

[root@myhost ~]# lsmod |grep radeon
radeon                711725  2
ttm                    54819  1 radeon
drm_kms_helper         24738  1 radeon
drm                   176953  4 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit            5045  1 radeon
i2c_core               25709  5 
i2c_piix4,radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit
[root@myhost ~]#

[root@myhost ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
	Identifier "Videocard0"
	Driver "radeon"
	Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
	Option "DRI" "1"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
     Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
[root@myhost ~]#

Has somebody had a similar problem? How did you solve the problem with 
the new kernel?
