I have a radeon mobility x700. Direct rendering works ok. But when I started glxgears 1st time I saw the gears for one second or so and then it exited with:
Code:
$ glxgears
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File radeon_mm.c function radeon_mm_alloc line 216
Ran out of GART memory!
Please consider adjusting GARTSize option.
***************************************************************************
Error: Could not get dma buffer... exiting
2nd time it kept running, but still:
$ glxgears
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
Any idea, anyone? What's wrong with my DMA?
And where would I adjust my GARTSize option?
I poked around in the kernel configuration and when I searched for DMA, the most promising entry I found was:
Symbol: DMA_ENGINE [=n] │
│ Prompt: Support for DMA engines │
│ Defined at drivers/dma/Kconfig:7 │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
-> DMA Engine support
But it isn't at -> Device Drivers.
here's my glxinfo, just for the record:
Code:
# glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
display: :0 screen: 0
