Question regarding openGL screensavers (with xorg ati driver)

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

 



Running current rawhide, with xorg drivers for my ATI card, I have xscreensaver + extras + glextras installed, regardless of whether I use xorg vesa drivers, xorg ati drivers or xorg ati drivers with EXA extensions I can't get any of the openGL screensavers to start they all give messages similar to ...

X error in glplanet:
X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  143 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Serial number of failed request:  111
  Current serial number in output stream:  112

I was beginning to think this might only be expected to work with the ATI proprietary drivers, however yesterday I was tunneling X over SSH to my laptop running cygwin/X and I noticed that the openGL screensavers all worked that way (and with quite an impressive speed considering the tunnel was over WiFi)

Is it expecting too much of the current xorg drivers to support GLX (I thought MESA should at least step in as a software renderer as last resort) or should I bugzilla this?
