[SOLVED]Glxinfo and Glxgears not working

tgoossens · 2012-02-11 22:07:50

This is the output i get:

[thomas@thomas-arch ~]$ glxinfo 
name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

[thomas@thomas-arch ~]$ glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

My graphics card:

[thomas@thomas-arch ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I'm unable to find a xorg.conf file on my system. (only config files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Any advice on how to find where I screwed up?

Thanks!

Solution
Reinstall libgl

pacman -S libgl

There are none. xorg.conf is more or less deprecated and should only be used, if your system won't work without.

Ok, glad to hear that

But where do I have to start looking to fix my gl problems?

Good question. With intel graphics everything should (and ususally does) work out-of-the-box, no configuration whatsoever should be necessary. Does other 3d stuff work?

Not really.

I just tried to start Team Fortress 2 in Steam and got this errors:

p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib32/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib32/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hmmm.

After looking better at this output...

p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib32/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib32/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Lets check that...

Could that be it?

gnome keyring should be irrelevant...
Do you have xf86-video-intel and intel-dri installed?

If so, try

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep render

It tells you what GL drivers it tries to load and whether it fails.

Both xf86-video-intel and intel-dri are installed ( and i just reinstalled them, no success)

Output

[thomas@thomas-arch ~]$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep render

Are you in the video group? If consolekit/polkit are working correctly you don't need to be, but that's a big *if*. So you could try putting yourself in the video group. Also, post /var/log/Xorg.0.log

tgoossens · 2012-02-11 22:32:44

I was just digging into the log and found this:

[thomas@thomas-arch ~]$ less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep gl
[    64.313] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[    64.313] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[    64.313] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[    64.313] (II) Unloading glx
[    64.313] (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)

edit: and yes, i am in the video group

I'll google a bit for this error, but if someone knows the answer already, feel free to let me know

Ok, we have our error. That file is part of the libgl package. So reinstall that. Also, make sure you have mesa installed.

I reinstalled it.

It worked!

Thanks for guiding me to the solution
