xf86-video-intel: 3d acceleration only when X is restarted

3d acceleration only works when X is started the second time. My version:

extra/xf86-video-intel 2.6.3-4 (xorg-video-drivers)
    X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers

I'm using Intel GMA 950.
If I start X the first time, even though Direct Rendering is enabled, the Mesa Software rasterizer is used instead. Then only when I start X the second time, then hardware acceleration works.

I did a diff on the log files of the first time I launched X and the second time I launched X.

Looks like you should file a bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ However, you should probably test with 2.7.99.1 as well, otherwise the intel team might not care too much for your report, they are getting rid of all the old cruft (xaa and exa, dri1) and hope to close bug reports that are not reproducible (see: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 02216.html ).
