weird glx errors

i finally got around to installing my old radeon 8500LE, using the open source radeon drivers. it seems to work perfectly, but when i try any glx commands i get these errors:

sero@homer:~ $ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  142 (GLX)

sero@homer:~ $ glxgears

i don't care that much since direct rendering is working, but i'm curious what the glx errors are about. do i even need mesa since X log says radeon's using some built-in rendering extension?

>>edit: just checked X log for glx:

root@homer:/home/sero # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -i glx

so is this AIGLX something in the radeon drivers that's "taking over" the duties of mesa GL, or is it part of mesa? is there any way to "clean up" all of this, or should i just be glad it's working and leave it alone?

Re: weird glx errors

Re: weird glx errors

i gave you that link because i had the same problems with radeon with my 9600, and there where other tips.

If I was you i would make sure that you graphic card is already supported by the open source drivers, because a few months ago support for 9600 wasn't developed yet, so maybe they didn't get to yours, yet.

If the is the case, then you will have to install the proprietary drivers

Re: weird glx errors

okay, thanks. maybe i'll install the proprietary ones anyway, just to see what happens.

cheers

Re: weird glx errors

Did you searched the log for warning/error message?

Try disabling AIGLX to see if it'll make any change.

when i disable that, my entire computer locks up when i do ctrl+alt backspace. :shock: since i do that a lot, i think i better enable it for now.

i don't really notice anything glaring in the log. you can look at it here if you want. here's my xorg.conf.

Re: weird glx errors

maybe those messages come are standard debugging output.

I also see those messages some times when i open some programs:

glxgears:
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

but everything works fine
