3D Support?

D

Draucia

Sorry I'm new to FreeBSD, but how do I tell if I have 3D support? Whenever I run glxgears, I get:

Code: 
Failed to initialize GEM.  Falling back to classic.

Does this mean I don't have 3D support?

Here is the output of glxinfo:

Code:

And

Code: 
direct rendering: Yes

Those two items, combined, show that you have 3D acceleration.

GEM is a memory manager for the intel drivers that has been developed on Linux. It is in the process of being ported to FreeBSD, and there are patches available if you are interested. It is necessary for even basic 2D functionality on newer intel GPUs.

Thanks. It's just that I have very low performance on some games on here compared to windows (around 18 FPS vs around 30 FPS). Do you know if GEM will help me get better performance on the Intel GM45?
 
adamk said:
It might, but I doubt the difference will be that great. What games have you tried?

I've tried Heroes of Newerth (only on linux though, can't seem to get it to run on FreeBSD) and openarena. Can you direct me to these patches?

I'd highly recommend subscribing to the freebsd-x11 mailing list. They will be more likely to be able to answer any questions about problems you might have.

I haven't installed the patches, but after I did:

Code: 
export LD_PREOAD=/usr/local/lib/libGL.so.1

Hon (heroes of newerth) launches! The only problem is, it takes about 3 minutes to launch, and it runs incredibly slowly (Seems like it's 1 FPS, takes about 3 mins to get to login menu). Could this be because it's like using software rendering as a fallback? (The "Failed to initialize GEM. Falling back to classic." message comes to my mind).

Hon crashlog shows:

Note I'm a total noob at this 3d stuff, but could drmopenonce be related to this in my xorg log?

It's almost certainly falling back to software rendering, but not because of the lack of GEM. HoN is a linux game, and you need the linux 3D drivers for your GPU installed. Make sure the graphics/linux-f10-dri port is installed. Even then, I do not know if that version of Mesa will be new enough to support your GPU or how well HoN will perform.

And, of course, if you are doing this on an amd64 installation, forget it. None of the open source drivers support 3D direct rendering in 32-bit apps (either FreeBSD or Linux) on amd64 installs. I'm also pretty sure no one is actively working on fixing that limitation.

I have linux-f10-dri installed. I've always noticed worse 3D performance with my GPU on linux (and FreeBSD) than on windows. Too bad, I'm doing this on amd64. D:

Should this be marked as solved or not lol? [Give up]? XD
