[Bug 888872] Re: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

 

@ Phil. V (philip.v)

I  found that LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo reports some errors:

libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/tls/r300_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/r300_dri.so
libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/user/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/user/.drirc: No such file or directory.


I did some digging around and found that http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/glxinfo mentions "Surrounding these lines there may be additional messages indicating errors. In particular, if the driver is not found in the mentioned path, OpenGL will try to fall back to the software renderer called swrast_dri.so. This is an indication that the DRI drivers are not installed correctly."

So it seems, although I don't know if it's related to the problem at
hand, Ubuntu has a problem correctly installing DRI drivers. If it's not
related I could open a bug on the matter.


glxinfo | grep render

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV530
    GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, 


uname -r
3.0.0-13-generic
