Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth

[ph0enix]

I'm getting this while trying to start compiz:
compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't
going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

I'm running Xorg 7.4 and my video card is Radeon X1950 Pro - using the radeon driver:

Thanks! :D

Show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file as well as the output of 'glxinfo'.

Adam

[ph0enix]

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the PM and the reply! :)

I don't seem to have glxinfo on my system. Did I forget to install something?

I'm attaching Xorg.0.log and my xorg.conf as well. Looking at the log, I see that I should remove the following options from the config:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"

...but would they hurt anything?

Thanks! :)

J.

[adamk]

Those options won't hurt anything, but they are nvidia-only options.

You don't appear to be running -STABLE. In my PM to you the other day, I said you should upgrade to -STABLE. The DRM changes necessary for r500 cards are available in -STABLE. Theoretically you can download the DRM via git and build it, but I think upgrading is your best option.

Adam

[ph0enix]

Oh, sorry. I just assumed that updating the ports (portsnap update) would give me 7.4-STABLE. I saw that /usr/ports/x11/xorg/ got updated from 7.3 to 7.4. Running "make install distclean" in /usr/ports/x11/xorg/ gives me:

What do I need to do to get 7.4-STABLE installed?

Thanks again! :)

J.

[adamk]

-STABLE refers to the a branch of the FreeBSD source tree, and has nothing to do with ports. All development is done in the -CURRENT branch first and then, once tested and certain it won't break anything, it is ported to -STABLE. RELEASES come from the -STABLE branch. You may want to do some googling on the subject.

To upgrade to -STABLE, you can use cvsup. There is an example supfile in the base system: /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile. It requires a single change (specifying the cvsup host to use) but will pull all of the -STABLE sources. You would then need to build and install kernel and world.

Adam

[ph0enix]

Does this look like the correct approach?


cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF="`uname -i`"
make installkernel KERNCONF="`uname -i`"
make installworld
shutdown -r now

[DutchDaemon]

The preferred method:


# For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a
# delta of a few days):
#
# 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree).
# 2. `make buildworld'
# 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
# 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
# [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target]
# 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
# 6. `mergemaster -p'
# 7. `make installworld'
# 8. `make delete-old'
# 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or -ai).
# 10. `reboot'
# 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore)


I prefer to precede this by:
0. rm -rf /usr/obj

[adamk]

Yeah, what DutchDaemon said :-)

Adam

Thanks guys! I'm stuck at the "make kernel" step though. The config that I had working in "7.1-RELEASE-p3" isn't working now.

What to do next?

[DutchDaemon]

Post your kernel config. It's usually a matter of a kernel option missing a dependency (another kernel option).

Post your kernel config. It's usually a matter of a kernel option missing a dependency (another kernel option).

My config is pretty much the same as GENERIC.
I think there is more to it. I just tried compiling GENERIC and it failed with:

If it fails (even GENERIC) in exactly the same place (looks like it) you may have encountered a small glitch in the sources. It happens occasionally, because STABLE is more or less a moving target that's constantly being updated. Re-csup your sources and start over (don't forget to remove /usr/obj betwen compiles!).

Can I compile the kernel without that module? It looks like it has to do with wireless networking which I don't care about.

I re-ran cvsup and it downloaded a bunch of new files but the kernel still fais while compiling that same module. The module itself compiles fine without any options if I cd to /usr/src/sys/modules/zyd and make.

[DutchDaemon]

I don't think it's the module. It's the very last module (as you can see from the alphabetical order), so it's the first phase after compiling the modules where it appears to fail: /usr/src/sys/tools/makeobjops.awk awol? I do have it, but it's over four years old, so not something that goes missing from a repository, I guess.

[ph0enix]

I just tried it again and it died in a different spot. What gives?

[ph0enix]

I don't get what's going on. I dumped /usr/src and ran cvsup again to make sure that I have clean source. I tried compiling the kernel after that and it failed (died right after the last module as before) so I decided to try to compile GENERIC again and it finished ok. Weird or what?

[FBSDin20Steps]

What's in your kernel?

Greetz

[ph0enix]

The config is attached a few posts up :D

[FBSDin20Steps]

Oops... I thought it was the first post in this thread. Didn't look up.
Kernel looks good. Did you change the releng tag?

Greetz

No, I did not and for some reason I ended up with 7.2-PRERELEASE. What do I have to do to get the 7.4-STABLE source code?

[ph0enix]

Will setting "*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_4" do the trick?

[FBSDin20Steps]

7_4 doesn't exist. You better change it to 7_1 and remove the old source first.

Greetz

[ph0enix]

Greetz

But adamk wants me to upgrade to 7.4-STABLE. How do I do that? I don't think we're all on the same page.

[FBSDin20Steps]

You already have Xorg 7.4 installed. That is why it gave you the error code 1. See your previous post...You mix things up.

Greetz

[ph0enix]

I'm definitely confused. Is 7.4 referring to the Xorg version and -STABLE to the FreeBSD version? If so, why put them together as 7.4-STABLE?

[FBSDin20Steps]

Is 7.4 referring to the Xorg version and -STABLE to the FreeBSD version?
Yes.
Did you change the releng tag to this e.g. *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_1?
If so than update your source and have a look at this http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/introduction.html#STABLE

[adamk]

Excellent question. Search through the thread and you will see that you are the only one that has made any reference to 7.4-STABLE :-)

FreeBSD is only at 7.1. Eventually there will likely be a 7.4 release, and there may be a 7.4-STABLE branch of FreeBSD, but that won't be for a while and it will have nothing to do with Xorg.

I guess I'm losing it :)
Anyway, so now that I have 7.2-PRERELEASE installed, is this a good version to use with compiz?

How do I make direct rendering work?

[adamk]

Pulling the -STABLE code from cvsup and building it gave you 7.2-PRERELEASE?

In my PM I told you to update to Xorg 7.4. You appear to still be using Xorg 7.3...

EDIT:

The Xorg 7.4 metaport is pretty stupid. It just checks to see if certain files are installed, without checking to see if the files are from the new version of Xorg. I usually use portupgrade to upgrade Xorg and all it's dependencies.

Running "portupgrade -all" now. I'll post back with results in 3 days ;)

I thought I had Xorg 7.4 since that's what it said when I did "make install distclean" in /usr/ports/x11/xorg. Silly me!

Thanks! :)

Is there a sure way to tell which verson of Xorg I'm running?
"Xorg -version" gives me this:

How does 1.4.2 correspond to 7.3 or 7.4?

[adamk]

X server version 1.4.2 is part of Xorg 7.3. Xorg 7.4 shipped with X server 1.5.*.

Ok, so I finally have the right version of Xorg but now I can't start X. It's complaining about driver mismatch:

"portupgrade xf86*" fixed the last issue. Now my mouse and keyboard aren't working.

[ph0enix]

SirDice's suggestion (adding the options to xorg.conf) took care of the mouse and keyboard problem:

glxinfo says that I have direct rendering now.

I'm getting close. I can smell it but now "compiz-fusion" won't compile. It wants GDK-2 which I can't find anywhere:



checking for GLIB... yes
checking for DBUS... yes
checking for GCONF... yes
checking for GDK... configure: error: Package requirements (gdk-2.0 >= 2.13) were not met:

Requested 'gdk-2.0 >= 2.13' but version of GDK is 2.12.11

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GDK_CFLAGS
and GDK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please run the gnomelogalyzer, available from
"http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnomelogalyzer.sh", which will diagnose the
problem and suggest a solution. If - and only if - the gnomelogalyzer cannot
solve the problem, report the build failure to the FreeBSD GNOME team at
gnome@FreeBSD.org, and attach (a)
"/usr/ports/x11/libgnomekbd/work/libgnomekbd-2.24.0/config.log", (b) the
output of the failed make command, and (c) the gnomelogalyzer output. Also,
it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on
your system (i.e. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). Put your attachment up on any website,
copy-and-paste into http://freebsd-gnome.pastebin.com, or use send-pr(1) with
the attachment. Try to avoid sending any attachments to the mailing list
(gnome@FreeBSD.org), because attachments sent to FreeBSD mailing lists are
usually discarded by the mailing list software.

gdk is installed by the gtk port. /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20

That did it! I've got wobbly windows! :)
There were some Xlib errors when I started compiz though but I didn't write them down.

Thank you guys for all the help!

[adamk]

The Xlib message is harmless. Xlib is simply compiled with support for an extension that the X server doesn't yet support. That will be remedied when X server 1.6.* is imported into the ports tree.

I thought perhaps the Xlib error had something to do with the fact that I'm unable to get x11vnc to work after installing/starting compiz. It was working fine this morning. X + KDM is running so I don't know what its problem is:

20/03/2009 15:52:40 x11vnc version: 0.9.6 lastmod: 2008-12-08
20/03/2009 15:52:40

20/03/2009 15:52:40 *** Trying ":0" in 4 seconds. Press Ctrl-C to abort.
20/03/2009 15:52:40 *** 1 2 3 4

20/03/2009 15:52:44

20/03/2009 15:52:44 ***************************************
20/03/2009 15:52:44 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:0)

*** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue.
*** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the failure.

Some tips and guidelines:

** An X server (the one you wish to view) must be running before x11vnc is
started: x11vnc does not start the X server. (however, see the -create
option if that is what you really want).

** You must use -display <disp>, -OR- set and export your $DISPLAY
environment variable to refer to the display of the desired X server.
- Usually the display is simply ":0" (in fact x11vnc uses this if you forget
to specify it), but in some multi-user situations it could be ":1", ":2",
or even ":137". Ask your administrator or a guru if you are having
difficulty determining what your X DISPLAY is.

** Next, you need to have sufficient permissions (Xauthority)
to connect to the X DISPLAY. Here are some Tips:

- Often, you just need to run x11vnc as the user logged into the X session.
So make sure to be that user when you type x11vnc.
- Being root is usually not enough because the incorrect MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE
file will be accessed. The cookie file contains the secret key that
allows x11vnc to connect to the desired X DISPLAY.
- You can explicitly indicate which MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file should be used
by the -auth option, e.g.:
x11vnc -auth /home/someuser/.Xauthority -display :0
x11vnc -auth /tmp/.gdmzndVlR -display :0
you must have read permission for the auth file.

** If NO ONE is logged into an X session yet, but there is a greeter login
program like "gdm", "kdm", "xdm", or "dtlogin" running, you will need
to find and use the raw display manager MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file.
Some examples for various display managers:

gdm: -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth
-auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth
kdm: -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-crWk72
-auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-crWk72
xdm: -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-XQvaJk
dtlogin: -auth /var/dt/A:0-UgaaXa

[adamk]

Sorry, but I really don't know anything about x11vnc. However, you won't be able to get compiz to work over a vnc connection, at least in its current form.

I wasn't counting on compiz in a VNC session. It would be extremely slow :)
