Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz...i965_dri.so

[gwalther]

i965_dri.so is included in Xorg-7.7-3d extension in the tc13 repo but is not included in the Xorg-7.7-3d tc14 repo...(64bit).  Is there a reason why?  Could I just copy over the i965_dri.so from my tc13 installation to my  tc14 installation.../usr/local/lib/dri/ ?

Hi gwalther

i965_dri.so was removed from Mesa 22.0 and replaced by crocus_dri.so or iris_dri.so (depending on the chipset) which should load right away.

The reason I was looking for i965_dri.so was because of two error messages in  Xorg.0.log saying it could not load i965_dri.so and swrast_dri.so.  For some reason crocus or iris dri's do not get loaded.  My graphics are reported as Intel HD Graphics 530 in a Dell Optiplex 7040.  Glxinfo does not report direct rendering as yes.

Ok so I tried copying i965_dri.so and swrast_dri.so from my tc13 installation over to my tc14 installation in/usr/local/lib/dri/ and restarted from prompt....and it seems to work with no error messages in Xorg.0.log.  Glxinfo now reports ...direct rendering as yes.  All seems to work....strange.

Hi gwalther

Does  Xorg.0.log  make any references to  crocus  or  iris  like here:

If it does, try creating a  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf  similar to this:

Thanks Rich....I put  20-intel.conf in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and restarted  at the prompt and the Xorg.0.log now show iris was used with other no error messages.
