[Bug 446641] Re: [i845] DRM fails to become master, results in (extremely) slow software rasterization

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  I'm currently posting this using the vesa driver since -intel is too
  excruciatingly slow. The /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old contains the Xorg log
  from when I used -intel last X session.
  
  
  Anyways, the symptoms while using -intel are that everything becomes excruciatingly slow while Xorg eats up all available CPU.
  Looking at the log I believe this to be the cause of failure:
  
  drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
  [drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
  (EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for : No such file or directory
  (EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
  
  This happens on a beta live CD as well as with a fully-updated 9.10.
  
  I believe that the DRM errors lead to the driver falling back to an
  extremely slow (slower than vesa) software rasterizer.
