Re: Problems with kernel 3.1 and vaio Z21 (2011)

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Hi,
Well, my build is based on this package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/me/mesa-git/PKGBUILD
And then I also compile all the dri, drm, gl, intel and the likes from GIT. There are packages for that too on AUR...
They are installed and replace all the stable drivers of the same name. But maybe i did something wrong, or missed a package :)

Nicklas, I'm sorry to hear that. Just a question what was your make statement? I have been using make "linux-dri-x86-64". I wonder what the difference could be. Also are you running it out of /usr/local? or did you change the configs/default to /usr?

    Hi,

    Just followed your "advice" and tried the latest mesa HEAD... That
    did not turn out the way I expected.

    1. My GDM crashes are now happening very frequent, even without
    going to pages with flash. It can happen at basically any time -
    while switching workspaces or dragging windows around
    2. The issue with my external monitor on HDMI is still present
    (black screen on login)...
    3. The drawing of my desktop seems nicer on the external monitor,
    however, on the build in screen it's the same.

    Have not tried 3d performance though... I have reverted to stable
    Q3 release for now. Might try again in a few weeks.

    4. recompiled removed the proprietary fglrx driver now I have 3d
    working. ExtremeTuxRacer now gets 60 FPS. So I am still running
    mesa 7.12-dev, but it seems to be working now.

            Ok, here is my info:
            VPC-z2190X, i5-2540, 6GB ram, 128GB SSD dm-raid 0, PMD,
            1600x900 screen, Linux: Ubuntu Natty 11.04 with custom
            compiled 3.1.0-rc6 x86-64 (no sparse_irq, vaio patch),
            gnome 2.32.1

            Ethernet timeout: no (although before I moved to rc6 I
            had compiled the r8168 driver from realtek. I can't
            compile it for some reason on rc6 but it does appear that
            the r8169 driver works ok.)


        Do you have a dhcp or static IP address ?

            Rendering problem: haven't noticed...
            Random crash: sometimes. but not really noticeable.


        Is flash installed or not ?

            I do have the mtrr errors:

            $ dmesg | grep -i mtrr
            [    0.000000] MTRR default type: uncachable
            [    0.000000] MTRR fixed ranges enabled:
            [    0.000000] MTRR variable ranges enabled:
            [    2.603613] mtrr: no more MTRRs available
            [    2.603618] [drm] MTRR allocation failed.  Graphics
            performance may suffer.


            $ sudo cat /proc/mttr
            cat: /proc/mttr: No such file or directory


        Ah sorry, I misspelled the command, it is:
        cat /proc/mtrr

            And 3d graphics are not that great. Extreme Tux Racer I
            get like 2 FPS. Actually now I can't even get glxinfo to
            show... I wonder what I did...


        Try with default drm and mesa packages if you have compiled
        your own (maybe you can install packages from 11.10).

        Regards,
        Damien R.
