X is loading the Intel driver. You have an /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, which you really don't need with Intel graphics now. Something in there might be conflicting. Post it here, let's take a look.

Added xorg.conf

Yes I added the xorg.conf in an attempt to fix the problem. The problem precedes the addition of the config file.

Nevertheless here is the file.

Hm. I have a machine with Intel graphics and desktop effects work fine. Here's my GLX info:

Code:

steve@x1:~> glxinfo
name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
    {...snip...}
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
client glx extensions:
    {...snip...}
GLX version: 1.4
GLX extensions:
    {...snip...}
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile 
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.0.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:
    {...snip...}

My machine is using Intel's OpenGL renderer, which takes advantage of the hardware acceleration capabilities of Intel graphics. Your machine is using the Gallium software renderer. KWin requires hardware acceleration to draw effects with OpenGL. Now, your Xorg.0.log has some information about this:

Code:

[  3846.750] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[  3846.750] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
[  3846.757] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[  3846.757] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0

What's the output of

Code:

ls -al /dev/dri

I bet it doesn't exist, because these errors are also present:

Code:

[  3846.587] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[  3846.587] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[  3846.587] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[  3846.587] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

Could you try this again with no xorg.conf, please?

**richb** · Aug 11, 2013, 07:04 PM

Same result with no xorg.conf. But let me be clear. I do have desktop effects through xrender. But not all work and OpenGL cannot be enabled. Correct that I do not have dri in /dev.

**SteveRiley** · Aug 12, 2013, 12:36 PM

For some reason, DRI/DRI2 aren't being enabled on your machine. Without this, you will be stuck with the software renderer. You're right that some of the effects will work with the software renderer, but quality and performance won't be so great.

Let's see if we can force the Intel driver to load everything correctly. First, a diagnostic step, please. Run the following, and show the output of the last command.

Code:

cd ~

wget smxi.org/inxi

chmod +x inxi

./inxi -xxG

And the output of

Code:

dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video

What I notice from the second output is that the intel driver is available. But from the inxi output, it is not loaded.

Do you load it with modprobe -i intel?

EDIT: Did a modprobe -i i915, but did not change output of inxi or ability to run OpenGL.

Hm. First, I notice this...

You're operating in the context of root while located in your ordinary user home directory. Generally this isn't a good idea because any files created will be owned by root:root. This is the cause of many problems. Better is to elevate with sudo only when necessary and for each individual command.

Now this...

...is missing the line about GLX stuff because you're running as root. Please switch to your normal user and run the command again.

What's happening is that the vesa driver isn't being unloaded and is taking over the graphics card. This is also confirmed in your Xorg.0.log log file; as I examine it more thoroughly, I don't see an "unload" statement for it.

modprobe is for kernel modules. We're dealing with X now, so we have to work differently. I will start with the gentlest of steps. Please run:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-vesa

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-intel

Reboot, and see if you notice any difference. Don't forget to run the inxi -xxG command (not as root) both before the dpkg-reconfigure commands and after you reboot. I want to see the output for both situations.

Before reboot:

Code:

Identical and no change.

PS got used to using su with Mepis and kdesu with the GUI, (alt-F2) run command. I need to adjust.

**SteveRiley** · Aug 12, 2013, 02:06 PM

OK, hm. Next suggestion. Please create the following minimal /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "My device"
        Driver "intel"
EndSection

If this doesn't work, we'll have to get a bit rougher

**richb** · Aug 12, 2013, 02:19 PM

No change and this with inxi

Code:

I guess we need to get rougher!

Crap! What the hell is going on...your Intel graphics is not actually being recognized by the kernel, it would seem. You should be showing the i915 driver module in both of those. In other words, I was expecting to see this:

Code:

...

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0798
[B][COLOR="#B22222"]        Kernel driver in use: i915[/COLOR][/B]

...

  *-display UNCLAIMED
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 2
       bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
       version: 09
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: msi pm vga_controller cap_list
       configuration: [B][COLOR="#B22222"]driver=i915[/COLOR][/B] latency=0
       resources: memory:d1000000-d13fffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff ioport:4000(size=64)

That would explain why X can't load the Intel driver.

Yet: i915 appears in your list of loaded modules, as indicated by the output of lsmod in your post #3.

Would you please attach /var/log/syslog. I want to see if the module throws any errors. This is a stumper!

**SteveRiley** · Aug 12, 2013, 04:45 PM

Oh, wait... you are still using nomodeset, correct? If so, that's the problem. The Intel drivers (both kernel and X) require modesetting. They will not work without that. This would explain why your computer is falling back to vesa.
