while I run glxinfo, it show that this

[huting@Archlinux ~]$ glxinfo

I check my system as the http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting told
some information like these:

[huting@Archlinux ~]$ dmesg |grep agp
Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 845G Chipset.
agpgart: Detected 8060K stolen memory.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000
[huting@Archlinux ~]$  

[huting@Archlinux ~]$ dmesg |grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
[drm] Initialized i915 1.4.0 20060119 on minor 0
[huting@Archlinux ~]$

there is no EE in the xorg.0.log file,but there are some WW :

[huting@Archlinux ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep WW
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum

(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): PGTBL_ER is 0x00000049
[huting@Archlinux ~]$     

I try 2 days, and I have no idea to solve it. Who can give me some tips ?

Re: I can't use direct rendering

Are there any Errors in your Xorg.log?  Try your grep again with EE. 

Also a simple thing I overlooked the first time, was my loopback line in my hosts file.  make sure "Archlinux" is appended at the end of the line.  DRI broke on me until i did that.  Sorry I can't help more specifically with your chipset, but mine is ati, not intel.

Re: I can't use direct rendering

Are you running testing or current? Dri works for me only with the version of th i810 drivers in current, not with the one in testing. The problem has been discussed other times in the forums.

Re: I can't use direct rendering

The driver in testing will get replaced by Xorg 7.1 in the weekend. Use the xf86-video-i810 driver from current in the meanwhile.
