[Bug 156905] Re: Visual effects on Radeon X300 RV370 5B60

[Gavin Hamill]

OK have been able to try this again

Deleting the xorg.conf (I normally have an nvidia card) and booting the
computer caused no desktop effects to be enabled. If I try to launch
'glxinfo' I get a segfault. 'glxgears' just tells me

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

I get exactly the same when I add Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" to the
(almost empty) xorg.conf.

Pertinent snippets from Xorg.log :

(**) RADEON(0): Using EXA acceleration architecture
(II) Loading sub module "exa"
(II) LoadModule: "exa"
(==) RADEON(0): Not using accelerated EXA DownloadFromScreen hook
(II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration enabled for R300/R400/R500 type cards.
(II) RADEON(0): Setting EXA maxPitchBytes
(II) RADEON(0): num quad-pipes is 1
(II) EXA(0): Offscreen pixmap area of 25841664 bytes
(II) EXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:
(II)         Solid
(II)         Copy
(II)         Composite (RENDER acceleration)
(II)         UploadToScreen
(II)         DownloadFromScreen

I can confirm that previousl the Xorg.log spoke only of XAA

Intrepid with all current updates applied:
