Description peter czanik 2006-03-05 15:28:44 UTC

GLX applications (like glxgears) do not work. The allocated window is black, CPU usage is up, displayed frame rate for glxgears is below Mesa software renderer.

Comment 1 David Reveman 2006-03-06 16:18:14 UTC

This is a Mesa software renderer problem. I think it's present on all architectures and broke when we moved to the Xorg tree.

Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2006-04-10 18:15:20 UTC

Is this still a problem? glxgears is working for me now under i386.

Comment 3 peter czanik 2006-04-13 08:47:44 UTC

I have a Pegasos PPC machine with Radeon 9200 using the Xorg driver. Xgl documentation improved recently, so there is some info about it:
http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl_Troubleshooting#ATI_.2F_open_source_driver_.22radeon.22
So, I suspect, it's not supported.

BTW: I can't get Xgl to work on RC1 at all, but that will be a separate bugreport :-(

Comment 4 Matthias Hopf 2006-04-13 13:21:22 UTC

I assume that Xgl is not supported on PPC at all. However, we'd like to see it working there as well, of course.

Comment 5 peter czanik 2006-05-04 21:37:54 UTC

It worked fine in one of the betas. I'm just downloading factory to test it.
What does 'not supported on PPC' mean? It's a wonder that it ever worked, or just not officially worked on by SUSE?

Comment 6 JP Rosevear 2006-05-08 16:07:59 UTC

It means not officially supported by Novell.

Comment 8 JP Rosevear 2007-02-01 17:45:22 UTC

Closing due to bug 155319
