[SOLVED] Unable to run OpenGL applications

qbammey · 2017-07-27 09:54:41

Hi,
After installing Arch, I am unable to run any OpenGL applications.

When running glxinfo I get the following:

name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  154 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  35
  Current serial number in output stream:  36

I also get a similar error trying to run compton:

[     0.00 ] error    2 BadValue     request  154 minor    3 serial     37: "BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)"
glx_init(): Failed to get GLX context.

I found several posts relating this problem, but they seemed to be caused by NVidia drivers, whereas I do not have a NVidia card. I am on a DELL Latitude E6540 laptop with two VGA card, an integrated Intel and an AMD Radeon.
The relevant part of lspci -v is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics

        !!! Unknown header type 7f
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

I am using the open-source driver xf86-video-ati for the ATI card, as well as mesa and xf86-video-intel for my Intel card.

My Xorg log (http://dpaste.com//3AMDX4E) contains several errors:

[    10.716] (EE) Failed to load module "intel" (module does not exist, 0)
[    10.720] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)

[    11.182] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

My dmesg output is here : http://dpaste.com//1XDJAAF.

Please tell me if there is some more information that I can provide.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe look for another pastebin service ?

On a hybrid graphics system like yours normally card0 corresponds to the primary card and card1 to the secondary card.
That would result in intel beign assigned to card0 at 00:02.0 and radeon to card1 at 01:00.0 .

The Xorg log however shows the reverse : intel is being assigned to card1 and radeon to card0 .

Did you create any xorg *.conf-files or issue xrandr commands ?

Thank you for answering. I modified the pastebin links to dpaste.com.
I do not have any Xorg configuration file, and I have not used any xrandr command yet.
In case this could be useful, I just ran xrandr --listproviders:

Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x6c cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 3 outputs: 7 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x42 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 2 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting

it's getting weirder : no Source Output, Source Offload or Sink Offload .

Output of ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d , ls -l /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers .

Are you using the laptop on a docking station ?

I was not aware of another xorg.conf.d folder at /usr/share. Although /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d was empty, /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d was not. Especially, 10-nvidia.conf was in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, and nvidia_drv.so was in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, which was strange as I do not have any nvidia card.
Looking through my installed packages with pacman, I found that I had installed (either accidentally or through a dependency, as I do not remember installing it) nvidia-340xx-utils. Removing it caused the deletion of the two nvidia files in xorg.conf.d and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, and everything now works perfectly.

Thanks a lot for your help!
