Ubuntu

DRI not enabled

Asked by Nihad Keserovic

Hi, I have a problem where DRI is not loaded for the current user but is loaded and enabled when using sudo.

running command:
glxinfo | grep direct
gives me direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)

but when running this command as su the result is "direct rendering: Yes"

the same goes for running the application that uses DRI, meaning that when running the application without sudo command the application takes a hole lot of CPU time.

Some more information:
DRI module is set to be loaded in xorg.conf
the rights are set to 0666

the module gets loaded but is seems that I can't use them with a regular user account.

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT is set to 1
should I set it to 0 at startup? if yes, should that be set in .bashrc?

hmmm. odd.
I get XDriInfo returned with non-zero exit code.
glx gears wont run, it says

 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

correct me if I'm wrong, but X11[currently xorg] comes configured when installed.As of late both with FC9[couldnt get 8 to work right] and Unbuntu 8.xx I cant seem to change my settings without taking down X11.Goes DOUBLE on PPC side.

I will admit the glitching with xcompiz on NVIDIA has stopped for now.The flickering titlebar gets awful annoying.It seems to be linked to translucent menubars.

Can you help with this problem?
