Bug#417601: x11r6: On startup, X11 reports that my G450 is not DRI capable.
Brice,
I'll send a second e-mail on the results after reboot...
Okay, now I'm getting the stripes of red, green and blue
across my LCD where glxgears is running (they always match
the running program in the y-axis (vertical) and spread
all the way across the x-axis.
The frame rate is now:
386 frames in 5.0 seconds = 77.105 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.844 FPS
362 frames in 5.0 seconds = 72.397 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.849 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.962 FPS
The difference was that earlier I had run glxgears as
root! (I'm now running it as root and get the same
thing. Something isn't getting initialized proper?)
I don't suspect the video card as this all happened
on upgrade.
I just swapped two of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.* files and
have a semi-functional version! I've included the two
files. The one marked "good" is semi-functional. It,
I believe, is not dual-monitor and has very washed out
colors and blender runs! The version I was running is
marked "no-dri". This one the dual-monitor works correctly,
but has no DRI/GLX. I can use this until my second
monitor gets back from repair.
In my old Xfree86, both dual-head and DRI (on one monitor)
always worked and was fast. (Ironically, I'm something
of a programmer and really do need both displays working
as much or more than I need the DRI.)
Any help will be much appreciated!

I'm still trying to get G450 with DRI.
Did you try xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and xserver-xorg-video-mga 1.4.6.1 as
explained earlier? They've been in Debian testing for a while now, it's
very easy to upgrade...
In the mean time, how
can I go back to the old X11R6 stuff?
You mean downgrading to Etch? To Sarge? Reinstalling would probably be
easier...
Or is it time to switch distro's?
Other distros use Xserver 1.3 and the MGA driver 1.4.6.1 as Debian
testing does. If it work there, it will work in Debian testing too...

My complains seem to bounce or get ignored. Is there *any* effort
being made to fix this?
We have been waiting for you to reply during 4 months now. I asked you
to try upgrading to xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and xserver-xorg-video-mga
1.4.6.1 on April 24th, no reply.
The most likely chance to find a fix for such a bug is to test latest
upstream releases. That's what Xserver 1.3 and the MGA driver 1.4.6.1
are. Fixing this in earlier releases such as those in Etch is generally
hard and useless in the end, upgrading is easier.
I've not had a problem this severe since I ran Window for Workgroups
3.11!!!!
Unfortunately, you'll have to complain to Matrox about that. If they had
provided free drivers for Linux as they provided drivers for Windows, it
would be easier...
cheers,
Brice
