[solved] enabling DRI3 for modesetting DDX

Hi,

I successfully replaced intel DDX driver with built-in modesetting DDX simply by removing xf86-video-intel.
Since it runs on DRI2, do you know how to enable DRI3?

org.gnome.Shell.desktop[596]: glamor: EGL version 1.4 (DRI2):

Re: [solved] enabling DRI3 for modesetting DDX

you could try adding a config file like this:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "modesetting"
    Option      "AccelMethod"    "glamor"
    Option      "DRI"            "3"
    Option      "Backlight"      "intel_backlight"
EndSection

Re: [solved] enabling DRI3 for modesetting DDX

According to the man page, DRI3 is enabled by default:

modesetting(4) wrote:

       Option "PageFlip" "boolean"
              Enable DRI3 page flipping.  The default is on.

However, when I tried that my Xorg log seemed to show that DRI2 was still in use.

With the Intel DDX driver, it can be enabled and shows up in the log:

empty@Arch ~ % grep DRI3 .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
[    10.947] (II) intel(0): direct rendering: DRI2 DRI3 enabled

https://github.com/Head-on-a-Stick/conf … intel.conf

EDIT: Note that the Glamor acceleration method has been disabled upstream in the Intel DDX driver but is enabled (and used) by default with the modesetting driver.

Re: [solved] enabling DRI3 for modesetting DDX

post ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log please

    Option      "DRI"            "3"

my bad that was from xf86-video-intel

I'm guessing here but glamor should enable DRI3 by default?
..maybe it does a fallback to DRI2 if it's not supported by the application (gdm)?

Edit:
just tested it modesetting defaults to DRI2
from my Xorg.0.log 

[  3272.042] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0

makes me wonder if it's even supported?

Re: [solved] enabling DRI3 for modesetting DDX

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/

Here is teh content of the glamor.conf.
Section "Module"
Load "dri2"
Load "glamoregl"
EndSection

so maybe we'll try that /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf but replace "dri2" with "dri3"? see what happens?

EDIT: nope sad
cat ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log |grep DRI

[  4337.157] (II) glamor: EGL version 1.4 (DRI2):
[  4337.498] (II) modeset(0): [DRI2] Setup complete

Re: [solved] enabling DRI3 for modesetting DDX

@LeoFa

Glamor accelmethod has been removed from intel DDX. DRI3 can be enabled for intel DDX with a xorg conf file.
Glamor and DRI3 are enabled by default in modesetting DDX, although it isn't advertised in xorg log, nor journald, but Scimmia's command does show it.

Since DRI3 and wayland break at the moment gstreamer-vaapi, maybe the old Xorg/DRI2/IntelDDX solution is the one I'll keep. Or I'll simply use VLC.

@josephk
yes missed some posts trying to reply and figuring it out..
thnx @Scimmia for showing DRI3 is indeed enabled, kinda weird \O_o? the Xorg logs don't show that though.
